Well if you have a small leak, you can pry the dust seal off and use a feeler guage to get out most of the dirt. You shouldn't need a picture for this, if you look at it, you'll realize what I'm talking about. Like somebody said, you'll need to take the fork protector off to go all the way around the fork. Start with the thinnest, and go in a few until it works right. The thinnest guages are so flimsy that they don't work well.

I was talking about actually changing the fork seals. Instead of paying the shop money to get it done (even though I noticed you go to SMS and Brian is a cool guy) you can do it yourself for the cost of parts. If you want, you can invest in a seal driver (like $75) or you can try to make your own. We actually got a seal driver, but it's only been used once. Now I have a KTM and the seal driver is too big for my forks. Anyhow, if you actually want to change the fork seals let me know and I'll try to dig up the instructions. If you go that route you can also learn how easy it is to adjust your oil height, which is something you can fiddle with more to get the bike to ride better.
