Thanks Jeremy. If I do end up having my friend fix my seals, I am going to just bring the forks to him.
I wanted to see what you thought about the "film negative" trick. It seems that people are having success with using film negatives to work inside their seals to get dirt out that is trapped. My bike is relatively new with only about 25 hours on it. I find it hard to believe that the seals are bad already.
Do you think this is worth a try?
I have lost quite a bit of fork oil since they started leaking, is there a "how to add and check fork oil for dummies"? My manual is quite confusing to me, I guess if there was step-by-step instructions for everything in the manual, it would be thicker than an LA phonebook.
When we bleed air from the forks, should there be pressure on the front suspension? I have my bike on an ATV lift, opened up my air bleeder screws, and there was no air (audibly).
Thanks again.
