[QUOTE="RZ350, post: 1402678, member: 13475"] Funny story on the copper sealing washers on the bottom end of the forks... I got the fork and wheel back together and everything was nice and clean. The next morning, I reached under the end of the left side tube and I was discouraged to feel a drop of oil ready to drip off the bottom. At that point, I was questioning my decision to reuse the copper washers in such a critical spot. I was scheming what was the minimum disassembly I could do to get at that Allen screw to give it a tad more torque (I now know the limit is 50% more, right? lol). Patience was with me that day and I decided to wipe it off and give it a day to see if more drips come. Well, it has been a week now and its still completely bone dry, so no disassembly is required luckily. All I can figure was there was a drip of oil that wept out of the axle joint overnight. I did notice there being a bit of oil on the black ABS disk when putting it together so maybe that was the source. [/QUOTE]
