Were the seals you fitted genuine yamaha ones? I have found that the genuine Yamaha ones seem to work best and I personally would always replace the dust seal when replacing the fork seal.
i think do the two of them. sure if the first one failed the second one would be on its way out. plus you'd have one fork with brand new oil and one with old stuff. another thing you couldn't guarantee the volume of the oil in the fork you didn't do. also while you have the bike held up and everything off to get the first one out its a lot quicker to get the second one out
yamzer it could be that the aftermarket seal was a poor fit or it could be how the guy fitted the seals or it could be that the fork itself is damaged
