belfastguzzi Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 well.... I clean stanchions & grease w Ohlins grease pretty much everytime I take it out, it doesn't see rain, there's not much dust about here... & have RSVR guard! Still managed to get thru 3 sets of seals in 17,500 miles. I wonder if it's to do with set up (oil volume, damping), type of use or amount of time left standing? KB My replacement 'improved' double-lip seals lasted only two and a half thousand miles before leaking. Both went at same time. They just don't last. Plus, The Curse Of The Scura probably doesn't help. Why would these parts be immune to it when all the rest of the bits that are part of, attached to or touch the beast, aren't?

AH! There you are. Had the bike been standing for a time when you noticed the leaking seals? KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scura would eat them before breakfast and make them leak their precious fluids. Save them for a nicely behaved Tenni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
