well it looks like I get to join the long list of fork seal leakage.
(Did a search on fork seals and got about 6 pages of crap)
My bike is my daily driver ('06) but I don't consider 24,000 miles a lot and I shouldn't be
shelling out money for seals on a 2 year old bike...btw my dealer says $400.
It would be different if this were an isolated incident but as I am not alone...can't
we manufacture a decent 'fn fork that doesn't leak or am I expecting to much.
I really don't think we should consider this "routine maintaince" although since fork seals
are appartently pos we should catagorize it as such.
Not to mention, I'm not really happy about the local yokle at the stealership taking my nose off the bike,
as I've HIDs in there and switchback turnsignals with extra wiring I just know they will screw up.
(Now for the whinning part) Couple this with the impending valve check...for another 3-400 dollars...add rear tire and I'm up to $1000....CRAP. It's not like I got it $ sitting around doing nothing.
Busas are really fairly high maintance, high performance machines...I just don't think additional income should be
wasted on crappie fork seals.
Design them right to begin with...or am I just missing something
