The thing is that I don’t even have leaking fork seals…
I just keep deliberating if I should replace the fork bushings (and seals) rather soon or sometimes later. When on center stand and front forks fully extended, (front wheel off the ground), I can definitely feel some free play on lower tubes, especially the right one. However with some load of front wheel, either just pushing forward and back with front brake applied, I can’t feel/hear anything. As well when riding over bumps I don’t feel/hear any clunks. Bike has 51k kms, fork oil replaced 15k kms ago, no leaks on seals. Any thoughts?
