First off I do a lot of wheelies. Anyways the other day I saw a little bit of oil on my forks. I am wondering if I busted my fork seals from coming down to hard. Anybody have this problem or know if this is the correct diagnoses

Anybody have this problem or know if this is the correct diagnoses Try carefully removing dust covers and using a seal mate or film negative to gently clean the inside of the oil seals, as any contaminants make the fork seals leak. Often, the seals are not blown, but rather have some small grit in them which make them leak. Clem
