Leaking fork seal - how serious?
I'm prepping my TT600R for a 2 week trip. 99 percent asphalt in Europe and leaving early next week.
I've got neoprene fork gaiters mounted and today I noticed that the lower part of the gaiter, on the right fork (opposite the brake disc), was soaked in oil.
I lifted up the gaiter and my fork seal is leaking. I don't know how long its been leaking or how much its leaking.
I don't have the tools, parts or workshop to fix it myself.
How serious a problem is it? I could get it fixed at my dealer, but it'll blow my vacation budget and I'll probably have to cut my trip short. As it is now, I can't feel any stability problems.
Would I be asking for trouble to head out anyway and fixing it later?
