Fork seals

[Ugarte]

My left fork seal is blown again. I guess I must have helped it along with the uncontrolled wheelies I did right after getting the gipro, but it was seeping even before then. This is the second blown seal, and again it is on the left. Anyone else having trouble with the fork seals?

I will bring the forks in to the dealer to replace the seals, maybe this is a good opportunity to have progressive fork springs installed. Is it worth it, or should I stick with the stockers?

my right fork leg is now on its 3rd seal. This last time I did spring (not punny) for the progressives and they seem to be working better for me.

Check for corrosion on the inside of the fork, If there is some there it can damage the seal when compressed.
