FYI. I thought I needed a new fork seal on my 4RT a few months back after noting oil weeping onto one of the fork legs. Turned out that it was just foreign object/dirt holding the seal ever so slightly open. All it took was a credit card run around the edge of the seal to the leg and restore the oil-tightness to working order.

Better to use a piece of 35mm film.

They are Showa forks but I recommend using Honda (or Montesa) seals for better life and less stiction.

Or the new SKF seals for the same reason...

Now that's funny as I haven't seen a piece of 35mm for at least a couple of years.

If the seal needs cleaning again, I'll try using a jpeg and let you know how it goes. Cheers. R.
