Blown Fork Seals!!!!!

[missilelike]

Blew both sides today, I wonder if the colder weather is to blame? Or all the wheelies!!!!? Guess ill have to put new ones in.

If I had to guess I would say the wheelies did them in.

It wasn't the wheelies that blew your seals...It was the harsh landings AFTER the wheelies.

Seals usually last for many years under normal conditions. Even in the freezing cold. Just try to land your wheelies a little smoother by regulating the throttle from now on and you should be fine.

Be more careful on your landings and they will last longer

Also clean them dayum bugs and guts of the front of the forks! That'll help destroy em too!
