    Seal gone awol..

    Well, would you believe it - went to get the TA out of the garage this morning to come to work, and there's a small pool of oil under the rhs fork leg. The oil seems to be coming out of the bottom od the rubber gaiter, so I guess it's a fork seal gone! The bike's only got 12k miles on it too - not much at all, I know it's not the end of the world, but it's a pain. Ho hum, off to get some new ones....

    Not very impressed. Bike went in last Saturday for a new fork seal (under warrenty) - still haven't got it back yet! Hoping to get it back later today

    They reckon the bushes have gone too, and we've spent a whole week waiting for new parts! I was expecting better/quicker from Honda.

    Sound's like the dealer has been dragging his feet, I have never had to wait for more than three days, even for part's coming from main depot in Holland !!.
    Hope it works out

    Well, got it back now, boy was I missing it - more than I thought. Even in the pi$$ing rain I enjoyed the ride home.
