Hello folks,
a heads up to anyone with leaking fork seals ion the k25's. I purchased a set of seals with scrapers/ oil from a well known Yorkshire based company. They failed almost immediately, initially I thought it must be a fitting error and redid the job. Same result. I then enquired as to the source of the parts , and was told they are pattern, not O.E. , and they could not supply the genuine parts. No mention of a refund.
Any way I then ordered the parts from motorrad and waited for stock delivery. Curious about the pattern parts I measured them and compared the genuine ones, no wonder they leaked, the pattern ones were 0.71mm larger than the Marzocchi ones. Since fitting the correct parts I now have no oil outside the forks.
I wondered if anyone else had similar problems with spurious parts?
