rotors & fork seals
 
my right front fork is leaking, no burrs, no dirt visibly in the seals, so im guessing they are just worn out. 26k+ miles. i was thinkin of taking the forks to racetech since they are an hour away, either that or drop it off at the local dealer.

only problem is racetechs price (if i added right) is the same as the dealer price. the dealer i can drop it off, racetech i need to bring just the forks. i dont have a front stand, or rafters to hang the bike from, so how do you guys support the bike .

rotors
what do u guys think of these?

pick up a front stand, you wont regret it. (get a tripple tree stand if you're removing the forks obviously)

I usually dont trust after market parts that keep me from slamming into a wall at 80mph unless they are name brand or have seen first hand their performance. if they're trying to imitate wave rotors look, i can only imagine their priority wasnt on performance.

but still i doubt they're worse than a bad or warped oem rotor.

i figure as cheap as they are, someone has tryed em. mine are nearing the service limit, but i didnt want to be the guinea pig if some here has already tryed em and they suck lol

the way i see it, triple tree stand is last resort, hate to spend 150+ just to use it once and then sit in a corner

If you're going to take them to Racetech might as well have them revalve it too (unless you're already happy with how it is)

A-frame ladder + tie downs = suspend the front. WIN!

As mentioned already, an a frame ladder works great.

I always used Pro Action to rebuild my forks and shock every season on my dirt bikes. They are fast, very reasonable, and I was very happy with their quality of work. You are in So Cal right? Check them out.
