Leaking front fork
Hi all, Bought my R11S 1 year ago and am enjoying it immensely, Have just put on Staintune exhaust and will slowly add more accessories as funds permit, but I have a small problemm. I just came back from Phillip Island WSBK races and noticed oil leaking from the front left fork, I have a ride day next Thursday and want to know if I will cause damage if it is not repaired prior to the trip and is this a big fix. Do the forks need to be pulled apart?

No real danger unless it drips on your brakes. Go enjoy your ride, and fix it when you return.

No try, do or not do

this is not a big fix, you can pull the leg and replace the seal with little difficulty, the slider is not attached to the leg, so when you pull it out, you just pry out the bad seal and put in a new one.
