Fucking speedbump, didn't see it due to the sun shining through the trees and leaving a strange pattern on the floor.

Went over it at 30. (In a 30). Felt fucking harsh.

I hate it when they put them all the way across the road, I don't think they're reasonably sized at all, they fuck you up if you're doing the speed limit even, cunts.

Anyway, the right fork seal seems to be weeping. It's round the back where I can't see, when I put my finger round the back it feels "lubricated" but my finger isn't oily, just dirty when I look.

It must be a minute amount.

In any case, I'd say my bike had a well set up front suspension when I bought it - I've ridden a few bikes and none have felt as good as this - I'm worried I may lose the performance if I do a seal change.

Is there a way to do this whilst maintaining the performance of the forks? Is there a way to tell the viscosity which was used?

No real way to tell. However as standard they are sports bikes, from the factory the oil and set up was 95% there. The rest is dependent on the rider. I'd get it done with the same OEM amount, likely 10W and go from there, it is slightly adjustable anyway right?

I may just get it done and set up at the place near me. Could end up better Thumbs Up
