    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have a GS850GN and one of the forks are leaking.I bought this bike of ebay and the guy who sold it to me said he had changed the fork seals.I noticed quite soon after i bought the bike that the amount of oil on the top of the fork travel area was alot more than the other.I don't know what this could be?Any answers or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jo
 
Hi Jo, He must have damaged the seal on assembly, probably will require a new seal. The other posibility is a bad surface on the inner fork tube, rusted, chipped or gouged. Ray
 
it takes very little to eat seals, I went through three seals in a very short time before I discovered the very tiny ding that was eating them
 
Fork seals.
