Glad you and your bike are okay!  If you drank I'd recommend a stiff one.  Perhaps a double thick malted would do?

So, after my first tarmac off: http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=71980.0

I discovered I had a leaky fork. I cleaned and inspected and found a dent/scratch. 2mm deep 5mm long...

What to do? How does one fix it? Is this serious?







And apic of my pipe without any baffle in :)

My guess is you need a new fork-tube, but don't take my word for it.

Yeah, I've spoken to my suspension guru (superfoxi), he's sent me to ebay. So far best best option is a stanchion tube (new) from motopartz.co.uk a 100GBP before shipping. I'll see what sootzuki say tomorrow morning. Fail.

Sootzuki : R4000 (no stock in country)
Craigs: no
Crais used: no, only sell whole forks
Bike hospital: lotsa of rmz's, no drz's
Dirtrider: no, phone martin petzol

MP reckon that if the dent is small enough they can clean it and fill it with chrome, then grind it down to the right size. That of course will only work if the inside of the tube works fine. I'll take it to them and let them have a try. The attempt is free. Success will cost me R800.

The dent looks rather deep. I can imagine that the spring will rub on compression...
But it's worth a try.

www.autoparts.co.uk are selling them for 80GBP plus shipping. So for the same price as a chromed-attempt I can get a new one. I think I'm going with that option :) then will take it to my suspension guy superfoxi  :thumleft:
