So I went out to start the 1090R after having it stored in stands since the end of September.
To get a little close:
I had cleaned up a bit, but you can see the spot on the concrete from the drips and it was wet (lite oil) down over the caliper mount. It's only on the left side, but was fine when I parked it.
Could excessive cold cause the fork oil to pressure by the seal or is it more likely the seal got damaged just prior to storage? I thought maybe something got under the seal and is holding it out a bit. Is there a better way to clean the seal in place to see if that would fix it?
