It appears so. I've ridden it several hours pretty hard since the tape trick and no sign of a leak. I have new seals on the way for when it does leak I can replace them.

Doc, please consider doing a tutorial when you change the fork seals. You've done it many times, and I'm sure you can make it look easy.

I think I did a turorial when I changed them in the Yamaha XS400 last April or so. They are not too hard, but messy and it helps if you have the right tools. Snap ring pliers (inner style), a good prybar, Allen wrenches on 3/8 sockets, long reach is sometimes necessary, and an air (or electric I suppose) impact wrench. That is not always needed but usually very helpful.
If you can't find my tutorial, or if I didn't do one, I'll post it. Also check out Dansmc.com online course. That's where I learned!

Sorry Doc, I couldn't find it. I even looked at your KZ project to see if that might have been it. Can you point the way?

http://www.dansmc.com/Bible1.htm Of course, you have to use different methods for inverted forks; Brother Dan supplies information for conventional forks on his wonderful website. Spud

I have never done inverted forks. I imagine it's the same but I don't know.

RMATVM is excellent.
Great videos. I only skimmed them. Looks like a more involved process for sure. Doable though. You may need some special tools it seems.
