Has any one changed fork seals on a Gen Ii and found the bushings worn and sloppy? The bike had 6k on it and the seals were leaking because the bushings were worn. Racetec never heard of such a thing. I think maybe it was assembled with the wrong parts when it was made. I had to make a special tool to seat the bushings. Let me know if anybody has had a similar problem.

The fork bushings are an annual maintenance item along with the fork oil. I let mine go too long and the handle bars started to wobble just a bit on decel or steady 50 ot 60 mph speeds. Now have GP Suspension and a Penske shock - much better than stock, it is like having a completely different bike.
