    As I sit in the woods waiting on a truck to pick me up (flat rear tire, damn shale) I noticed that my fork seals are weeping. Not gushing, but wet rings after compression. Has anyone else experienced this? The bikes have 2 hours total on each bike.

    I love being in the woods

    the tubes mite a little rough still clean up under the wiper and seal real good and see if it stops

    On my 2015 with zero hours (4' of snow still) the tubes were rough, not sure why or what was on them but it took a bit of elbow grease to clean them up.

    Both of mine weeped a little bit. They stopped after a few hours, haven't had any issue.

    The shock on my 300 did blow out at about 10 hours.

    Good to hear that it stopped leaking. When you say the shock blew out what do you mean. Total loss if fluid?

    It lost quite a bit of fluid. It was leaking right at the shaft. I'm not sure what caused it, but it was my excuse to have it revalved.

    Yeah, I was not thrilled with the leaky seals today, but I'm encouraged to hear that it's possible they'll stop. Seems like an oversight on a pretty integral, yet simple part.

    Did you contact the dealer about your issue? I'm curious if they would have fixed it under warranty

    That did put a stop to the ride pretty quickly - maybe you need heavier heavy duty tubes. Do they make something like 10 mil?

    I never talked to anyone about it. Just sent it off to Zipty.

    WP is the reason my next bike will probably be a Yamaha.

    did you all check fork /axle alignment? seems odd to have seal leaks, for sure its not common.

    The weeping on the forks could be some residual oil between the dust seal and the main seal left over from assembly. Both of mine were just enough to attract dust for the first two or three rides.

    Alignment is fine. Worth a double check. I'll keep an eye on it but it seems strange that two bikes have both fork legs weeping.
