My baby is bleeding!!

[KanjiBusa]

today i got home from school and parked the bike outside at the bottom of the driveway because i was going to ride later on. i go in the garage and see a yellow liquid in the spot where i usually park my bike. my stomach dropped. i ran down to my bike to find this. Could it be the seals? or something worse?

dont worry about the white on the front fairing, its not damaged it is just dry wax

Hopefully your forks are not deteriorating.

Do you ride willies?

It just looks like blown seals to me - albeit a severe case of it. I just had mine replaced at the 10k mile mark. It's no big deal - think I paid about $120 or so through my local shop. You probably better get that checked out - it can get on your brakes and cause problems.

Wheelies.....yes

I called smithers customs and they are packed. they said it would be 225 to pull and replace the seals. I am scared to call suzuki and ask them how much they charge. I only have 5000 miles on the bike, so the seals HAVE to be blown, I now say that wheelies are bad, and there is a 100% chance that i will reduce wheelies by 80%

Nothing AT ALL wrong with wheelies --- as long as you set them down nice and smooth.

weelies are the tires best friends(front).They cost and last the same as seals.you choose...

i have done my seals ........... $60 for parts at the dealer, and a 6 pack for my neighbor and I AFTER we were done changing them. If the scrapers dont look bad, there is no need to really change them, i didnt.

 

[KanjiBusa]

Lol, I just called olathe suzuki, and incredibly, it will only run me 125 for a change other than 225 from smithers customs...wow..didnt expect that. I guess I am VIP up at suzuki cause i bought from them.

That's a good way to look at it.

Oh, and $125 sounds like a deal, less than I paid I'm sure.
