Hi,

Last fall I noticed a fork seal was leaking oil. I finally got around to replacing the seals and all the parts it suggests. I just got the dust seals reassembled on both and was going to fill with oil when I noticed one fork would have the inner tube slide down slowly under gravity where the other fork would remain fully extended. I didn't take notice of how they felt before hand so I am unsure if this normal behavior or not. I've paused my work for now, hoping to figure out if I need to tear one back apart again.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
 
Just stiction on the fork seals and dust seals (one more than the other it sounds like). If they aren't leaking they're good to go.
