• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

All balls not very good. My bro tried msr and leaked, he tried puvot works and its sticky and wont rebound easy.
Mine are both leaking after jumping and bottoming out a few times in a race. I will wipe them to see if its debris but not sure. Only 30hrs old!!?? Factory,
Any affordable suggestions guys??
 
Oem or skf seals for me. Have you tried pulling down the dust seal and running some film (can u even get that anymore?) or thin plastic under the actual seals? Also check your lower tubes for any burrs or nicks. That's usually the cause of a leaky seal.
 
The best I have found are SKF. You will find you also need to change your fork oil every year or so. Every time my seals leaked it was because of dirty oil rather than worn seals. Dried mud on a fork leg has a habit of getting past every brand of dust and oil seal.
 
SKF if you can get them are the best by far of any fork seal, less stiction and they last many times longer.
 
SKF GREEN SEALS. They holding up incredible on mine with at least 50 hours and few races on them. No weeping at all.
 
I just thought my 2016te300 with 30hrs on it, seals would lasted longer. I do remember bottoming out at last race a couple times, maybe this was reason
 
Bottoming out the bike won't cause you leaky seals...the only way bottoming out will blow seals is if you never bleed the air out of your forks and it builds up too much..
Most likely scenario is just some very fine grit underneath the oil seal...Invest in a "Rhino seal doctor" or the like to clean out the oil seal. Even a google tear off made into a hook shape can work.
Like the other guys have said, you should be changing the oil at a minimum of every 50hrs. Any longer than that and the degraded oil will slowly wear out the bushes .
