Hello. Sometimes it is a bit of grit or dirt in the seal and can be cleaned out using a film negative. I have done this with success. Certainly worth a try before stripping your forks. if you're really keen you could buy one of these !!

Paioli or marzocchi forks ??

Mine are Paioli, do you have any info or links to valid info? I'd like to change the oil and seals and to find stiffer springs if possible. Scorpa is '06 SY250. Any other advice would be appreciated of course.

I've had this happen twice since I bought it in January, the one ride it leaked on both legs so much in my van it left a puddle of oil (was strapped down with forks a bit compressed), bought a seal mate and it instantly stopped them leaking.

It's since sorted the left one again, so I wiped it yesterday and all good again.

I drained the forks a couple of weeks back and put new oil in, the forks felt ace afterwards.

I'm thinking of fitting some fork gaitors or tubes, where I ride the bike gets covered in crap.

I would appreciate any info regarding fork oil change (at least grade and quantity of oil), my beloved one does deserve it. Tks

Undo the top nut before you slacken the bottom yoke. It's much easier with the fork still clamped to the bike. First make sure you undo the top yoke bolts, as these can sometimes 'clamp' the top nut and make it more difficult to unscrew.
