General topics » Looks like you blew a seal.

So my 2020 1250 rs exclusive with 21k on the odo has blown a fork seal. Rt side only. Has anyone else experienced any suspension problems. Just wondering.

(Probably a lack of replies, because the maintenance schedule should have you changing fork oil - and usually seals - every 18,000 miles.)

My dealer recommended delaying any fork service until the seals fail. I'm at 44K miles

That’s the advice I got from other owners. Unless a seal is failing or you notice a drop in performance because it needs service, you might as well put it off because to do the job properly, you might as well replace the seals as you’ve paid 90% of the labor cost to get to them in the first place. I think only people who ride aggressively will feel the need to replace the fork oil as scheduled, and if that’s so, the odds are they can DIY and save on paying a shop to do it.
