Hi all,
Well was going to have a go at setting up my suspension today but had a little issue with a little weep from the left fork leg, I cleaned it of and took for a little run to warm all the oil up before trying to set the sag but noticed there was another film of oil over the stanchion so rang Bowkers at Preston, they said clean it of and bring it through and they would have a look.
Gets there and just a little film again the trip was about 25/30 miles, fitter took it away and came back 10mins later and said there was a pit under the dust seal and will need a new fork stanchion under warranty, I said the bike had only done 2300mls and was a bit shocked as bike not rode in the rain and dried totally when washed. Then was told mine is the 4th that Bowkers has done so just a little heads up if yours is like mine.
