Hi guys,
I picked my '04 GoldWing up from the paint shop the other day after getting a couple of places touched up and found a (app 1/2 oz or less) puddle of lube in my front tire rim. :stumped:
I noted that the bike had been sitting on the side stand for the app. 7 days that it was in the paint shop and wondered if thatcould be a possible factor?? I cleaned up the puddle and began to trace back up the fork looking for residue and found that the source of the lube seemed to be coming from the top seal on the right fork. I have to assume that a leaky seal is a failed seal and that it most likely needs replacement. Any thoughts on this subject and what might have caused it? Is it possible to damage a fork seal by having hit a pothole or other such obstruction?
I always appreciate the input! :clapper:
