Blown Seal

[Bertha]

Yep my F4i blew a fork seal... Oil all over the bike and stuff.... I have it removed from the bike... now where to take it to get it fix? Alex??

My buddy Lee here at work replaced the seals for me on the SV, he's been doing all of Alex's work too. Lee- 303 307 9768 olyer(at)hotmail.com

should I get them both done or just one??? how much it cost?

[Hoopty]

I would do them both, but that's just me. How long since they were last replaced? I don't remember the price, shoot him an email and ask him. I already told him you might be calling.

Otherwise you could have Marcus do them at the track, he might be more expensive though.

hmmmm I sure mesure to see how far up my other fork is before I pull it eh...

ok, so you have done, what, 2 races, 4 crashes (that didnt take place during the 2 races) and your fork seals are blown? I think you need to stay away from bikes bro

That may even be a worse average than hoopty! (though his overall numbers outweigh anyone, anywhere... )

If you don't plan on riding before the next race, I'd wait and have Marcus do it. He also may be coming up before the next race weekend for some test-n-tune. While he's in there he can inspect your valving, clean things up nicely, and make sure everything is in good condition.

Either Hoopty is on crack, or he's talking about another Alex, I don't know that friend of his.

My bad, Alex as in PiercedTL. :P
