Hi all; just had my front forks serviced - the dust seal rubber was corroded and I don't think the forks had been serviced before I'd bought the bike three years ago. New oil, seals and yay! ...but having brought it back from the garage, I'm wondering if seepage is normal after they've been done - or if I should go back to the garage and frown at someone?
I'd made sure the forks and seals were clean and dry before I left - home a couple of miles later and the right fork has a small drop of oil on top of the dust seal. You can also see from the fork stanchions a "tide line" where oil from the fork has left an indication of how far the fork travels (quite far, I'd never considered!)
So ...worry, or expected?
