Hi Unfazed yeah it is definitely leaking, I have wiped under the dust seal before but I tried it again yesterday and just riding 12 miles today to college and back was enough to leave quite a big line of oil, doesn't help that the roads directly around my house are really bumpy. Yeah darrsi that's why I mentioned the damage could well be something to do with it, I will take a photo at some point but been busy lately and want a pic in the daylight really, will probably take one tomorrow. Hmmm not good I dont know how I didn't spot it on the test ride (I was actually pillion for the ride and my dad took me out as I was still on 33bhp restriction at the time :rolleyes ) or how the dealer didn't spot it during the MOT and small service they did :\ .... I asked Markbubble but he has sold the forks already unfortunately. I guess I have 2 options then; replace the seals again with genuine Yamaha ones and dust seals too which will be £40 for both and cross my fingers or sell a kidney and get some replacement forks. Where would be good to try and get 2nd hand decent condition ones at a similar age for my bike do you reckon? Thanks again for all the help!
