My new toy

I thought I'd try something different.  My first  bike was a Honda XL250S  back in 1981 and since then all my bikes have been road bikes. So I thought I'd maybe get this for new adventures

Best of the Paris Dakar reps 

Little tip mate take off the front and fork stanchion guard and check the swept area sitting at 12 - 3 O'clock for pits and small bits of crud.  This area often never gets cleaned and the crud left can and will either tear the dust/oil seals and/or pitt the stanchion, both will cause leaks.  USD forks are costly to replace oil/dust seals as specialist tools are required to do the job both safely and properly.

Hey Gnasher, thanks for the great advice

Beg to differ, I find them neither difficult or requiring specialist tools.
TBH I find them easier than traditional forks.
