trying stopiesis it bad for my seals?

[teaz247]

hey its me again. got another question,... a couple days ago i started trying to do some light-weight stoppies and now now my front seals have started leaking, is this from the stopies? HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS SORT OF PROBLEM? I OWN A 2000 CR250 AND HADNT NOTICED THE PROBLEM TILL NOW. IT HAS SEAL SAVERS ON THEM AND THEY ARE SOAKED IN FLUID..........HELP!

Hasn't been a problem for me.

If stoppies would blow fork seals, imagine what jumping would do? I'm sure the stoppies are totally unrelated to the seal leaking.

it is probably that they were leaking before.... you only notice it after the stopies because there is continuous pressure on them, so they leak more than if it is 'on-off-on-off'

You shouldn't let your pet seals try stoppies. All their mass is centrally located and it's hard for them to adjust when they hit the balance point. Makes a nice blubbery endo though.

Sorry, it was a late night ;)
