Fork top seal failure

Post by BackAtIt53 »

I,ve got 13,928 wonderful miles on my 16 RT. Noticed the left fork top seal weeping small amount of oil. Not enough to run down the fork leg, but enough to show wet around the seal and put a sheen on the upper fork slider..
Want to know if this is an anomaly or have other had the same issue at such low mileage?
Oh the places we will go

Not normal.  There is not much oil,in the forks to start with as it's only there to lubricate.  Get your dealer to sort it.  It's not a big job.

Don't worry about it.  You're obviously working the bike hard and it's sweating a bit...
