After 45.000 km the left fork seal failed. I went to Race Tech Chile to change both seal and add fresh oil. They did a very good job that including to modify the bushing borders (a small trick that they developed with the experience)

What a change! The little roughness disappeared completely! Now the bike ride softly.

If your bike is over 30.000 km I may suggest you to do a fork service, you will note the difference.

[Edit]Ups, sorry, but the folks from Race Tech did a very good job on my forks! hehehehe

I see you are from Chile, so just a small language issue: I think you mean "fork" not "folk"; "folk" means "people" (pronounced to rhyme with "poke" - what a strange and difficult language English is).

[SIZE=12pt]Nice![/SIZE] If your relationship is very good with Race Tech Chile, maybe you could have them provide instructions to us northerners?

[SIZE=8pt]... my '04 forks seem to be doing well, though.[/SIZE]
