Tiger out of service

[Jblk9695]

Well I finally had a problem with the Tiger 800, one of my fork seals is leaking and even when standing still I have some oil on the ground so no riding until I can get it fixed.
Will be next week until the seals come in and then I can take the forks off and take them over to my Triumph mechanic.
Guess I'll have to ride my mountain bike to get my two wheel fix:BLAA:

Well that's not a big deal except your a$$ won't understand why it's not bouncing around through turns for a few days. I'm getting ready to do my valve lash check coming up this week so I probably won't be on for a few days either.

Good luck with your forks!

Any chance its just some debris caught in the seal? Sometimes you can wipe the stanchion, bound it, then quickly fully extend it and see the straight line of oil extending up and down the stanchion - indication of debris trapped in the seal preventing full wiper contact. It seems some Bug shells are harder than oil seals!

I figure with about 24K on the clock I might as well do the seals and dust boots on both forks along with the fork oil, not that big of expense so what the heck I can go without food for a week or so:BLAA:

Even though the two bikes are not the same, my seals didn't start leaking until 70k. Just one side, but had both redone.

Yea, kinda surprised me that they started this early, but heck if it didn't leak something it wouldn't be British
