Sticky forks SOLVED

[MotovertRockr]

If anyone is having any troubles with sticky forks i think i found the solution,

Get some oil (4 stroke) put it around the dust seal and there ya have it!

Worked for me

i think it sounds like your fork seals are clogged up with dirt?
and you might just be treating the symptoms, and not the cause.

do a search, and see if you can find a thread on cleaning fork seals, there are a couple here iirc?

Wouldn't that just compromise the seals ability to keep crap out of your forks and make the problem even worse over time? Maybe your forks would be happier with a rebuild?

it was after a good wash thats why

pressure wash? stay away from that area with the cleaner. and always spray your fork leg/seal area with crc/inox after a wash to disperse the water that seeps behind the dust lip on the seal. But I would be a little suspect like the other guys said, maybe the seal is old and is starting to swell a bit?

never pressure was my bike at all,

always with a brush and cloth but its all fixed now
