RAD mini Fork seal leak

[SemperVee]

  Both our 2021 Mini's still under warranty have leaky fork seals with less than 500 miles on them.  I am MC rider familiar with dealing with leaky seals  and wondered if anyone else has dealt with this yet?

Rad's forks are made with springs and there is no fluid in them. If they are leaking you may have gotten water in them or over-lubricated them. Just wipe them down and you should be all good.

Forks with springs from my experience in MC's sit in a bath of fork oil.  What makes you sure of your answer?   Unless the seals are lubricated themselves only, which I suppose could be a possibility.   I have wiped them both down.  The oil on the forks comes back from compression of use.

SemperVee, I agree - there is no oil in factory Rad forks, just springs.  If they're leaking water, it might be a good idea to find a way to let the rest out and dry the mechanism before possible oxidation.

 OK, Thanks for the info Gents.  Glad i asked before I tore into looking at disassemply.  That means the seals themselves are "lifetime" lubricated.
