| cunnibra | So, do seals ever really "blow"? And if so, what does that look like? Tear? Stretching? |

| cunnibra | Wow. Never heard of Seal Mate. Can't wait to try this. |

I hope you get this minor issue sorted so that you can get out and enjoy your bike. Like most of the people here I am really love riding my Vee2. I've done 15,000 miles on mine with no fork seal weeping and no other concerns, other than the poor paint on the rack which was replaced under warranty. I guess you have just been unlucky with this issue. |

Suzuki, even if prodded by two different dealers and even if the bike had 2,100 miles on it, flatly refused to cover the fix, as my bike was already out of its ridiculous short warranty (1-year only, when my Ducatis carry a 2- year warranty and my Kawasaki Concours a 3-year warranty). One of the two dealerships I dealt with kindly suggested Seal Mate and even gave me one to try. I did but no luck. The fork kept on leaking. The other dealership gave me a discount on replacing the seals, but it still came to about $240. DOUBLE SHAME Suzuki, first for its cheap warranty coverage and second for not taking responsibility for a leak fork on a virtually new bike with 2,100 miles!!!
