Well my right fork seal is blown. I woke up this morning to a pretty nasty puddle by my front tire and my heart sank. Of course it's Sunday so all shops are closed. Can anyone recommend a good shop in Utah? I don't have the parts to swap fork seals in the field and would rather a service center handle this one. I plan to call Hall's tomorrow and see if I can overnight them. I'm open to any advice at this point as my riding partner has to hit the end of the trail by next Friday due to work. I'm thinking this is a 3 day delay at least and we really didny want to skip trail.

Buy SKF seals if you can. They are more expensive but worth every penny, less stiction and longer lasting.
Thanks Guys! We headed up to Provo,UT last night. Called Edge Powersports this morning and won the lottery. They ended up having 1 fork seal in stock. They had me back on the road in under 2 hours. I'll look into the SKF seals when I get back home. Finding a part number for the seals was a huge pain.
unless you can see visible damage to the seal, get a real thin feeler gauge, push it past the fork seal and run it right around fork..don't mess about doing this cause oil will leak and keep the gauge flat, you don't want to cut the seal, just wipe the lip. Without looking you maybe able to slide the dust seal down and see if there is anything (grease included) between dust seal and fork seal which maybe be lifting the seal during travel, if there is, remove it and your problem maybe gone as simple as that....this is exactly what I did on my Aprilia Dorso and its now dry as a bone.
I cut a piece of an old credit card in the shape of the Motion Pro seal cleaning tool https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/1056/25537/Motion-Pro-Seal-Mate-Fork-Seal-Cleaner Pull the dust seal down and carefully wipe the oil seal and about half the time it quits leaking for a while... the other half you have to replace the seal.
