In an almost exact copy from last year, I went to the garage this morning to find a leaky front fork. Nothing dramatic, but not something I'd like to worsen during the riding season.Like last year, this didn't manifest itself till the cold season. My riding even mirrored last season's (a few long hauls, a 300 mile off road rally, and a few cold weather rides after the snow flew). Is this something that hard-ish off-roading would cause? I will admit to a few nudges against the bump stops after a poorly chosen line, at maybe too enthusiastic a speed. I can change them out myself, but it's a bit of a pain. The fork is properly sprung with straight rate springs, 57mm of sag. Compression damping is 6 clicks from full hard. I would go stiffer, but find that I'm already getting hammered on freeway expansion joints.
I would be open to investing a considerable amount of money to alleviate this problem, and if this means upgrading both ends, so be it. Thoughts?
