Clean those forks.!!!

On my way back from Beaver I noticed oil on my rim. I said awww shit what the hell is this! First I thought brake fluid, everything is okay then i noticed my forks seals were bad, by looking. Took the bike off the trailer and it was all wobbly.

I thought I strapped the bike to tight, but after I dropped it off to Ron at WCW he showed me "RECORD GROOVES" on the fork sleeves that comes from dirt, sand, mainly from the straights ETC that causes the seals to rip and leave those grooves on the sleeves and being it rained on that last day at Beaver (Sunday) it probably got worse.

save yourself a few hundred dollars, stress and get in a few extra track days with that money. because $700 to $800 to redo them isnt cheap!

So clean off those sleeves or the entire forks for that matter after every track day and street riding
