@ColinBell321 Жыл бұрын
The forks may have been pre-loaded inboard at the last seal change and took a seat. Now that the fork has been allowed to relax and align, the seal is not doing its job. I'd do a full fork service - the bushings could be worn also. Any movement in the piston with relation to the outer tube will identify bushing wear. If the bushings are good... just swap seals. Go with OEM, I've yet to see aftermarket last as long.
