Ohlins Fork Seal Leaking, 749R ???

iang · 09-Jun-2006, 14:08

Am I right in reading somewhere that some Ohlins fork seals are leaking and are being replaced under warranty with a new design.

I have never had a leaky seal but one of my fork legs looks as though it has a greasy line around it after bouncing the front end up and down, do not know if this is a leaking fork seal or what ?

I rang my local dealer and they say they have never heard of any problems, theres a suprise !

My bike is out of its 2 year warranty next month, does anyone know of anything to get checked out before then, I have had no problems at all with the bike but sods law says that the week after the warranty expires something will go wrong.

Dont Know, Just noticed a line around the fork when I was polishing the bike for the 5th time today !

You better check yours out when we go !

By the way I want a job like yours, hide away somewhere on the internet all shift.

It's pretty common with Ohlins forks i'm afraid. You'll get it sorted under warranty if you register the problem before the warranty is up.
