My R3 had a blown fork seal coat my front brakes and I never noticed! I brought the bike in for the 20k service, choosing to push the 10k valve ck to 20, and the service writer came walked me back there and showed me the mess! I bought the bike used and just thought the suspension was a pos for a big heavy bike. At +100 mph the thing couldn't hold a line, it used 6-8' of asphalt trying to go strait and I just thought good ole triumph quality, I got what I paid for, lol.
