749 leaking fork seal

[BIG-G]

The right fork seal seems to have started leaking on 12 month / 5k miles 749s.
Does any one know if this is a common fault, could it be somethig else and or what might have caused it.
Thanks

mono wheel antics put alot of strain on the seals , heavy landings !!:rolleye:

I had mine go, on oneside...they replaced both forks for brand new ohlins under warranty.

Was told Ducati mechanics are not allowed to touch them :puzzled:

You've got a 749S, so that's Showa forks. It's unusual to have problems with fork seals on those. Ohlins seem very prone to this sort of thing, and not just on Dukes either.

I would guess you've got some grit or a stone up there on the seal and it's worn through, or as Ace says too many wheelies.
