Had My s1000rr in for fork seals...bike has 3700 miles and is ridden on the roads only..my local bmw said along as stanchions were undamaged then the seals were covered...1 week later I get a call and forks a like new and waiting on seals turning up...2 weeks later and apparently the stanchions have been damaged badly by apparently stone damage..
They fitted new seals and put on mot a light misting...rode 10mins for a coffee and you guessed it...oil everywhere..over wheel,brake caliper and god knows where else's...they did stanchions were £1500 before I took it..how bad can it be...they just mot it.
 
New fork fitted and as I'm off to the tt soon...anyway,thus is what the old fork looked like when a friend took it off...can you believe it ??? Thus is going to bmw uk and Germany.. my disc is covered in oil and pads ruined
