Hey,

During my race this weeked the legs of my new Fox 125R seemed to be coated with a small amount of oil. I also have a bunch of crud built up on the seals. Haven't had a chance to call Fox yet, but I remember someone asking me about my seals when I posted a pic of my bike. Anyone hear of leaky seals?

Mine dose the same thing, But a buddy of mine that demos stuff for fox, said its completely normal. Its just to keep the fork nice and smooth for the feel.

:devil: the truth is Fox had one run of forks that had a bad annodizing process. these left the sliders a little rough which cause a little bit of leaking, ok a lot.

something to keep in mind though is that the Fox Forx rely on oil being forced upwards upon compression in between the bushings and sliders. The Fox is a little bit wetter then the average fork however it is a lot smoother

OK. Good to know. Thanks!
