Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Front brake antilocked up. when hitting a severe bump in the road, not a pothole, the left fork seal blew outward, releasing a massive amout of suspension oil covering the left front of the bike including saturating the left front brake pads and rotors. i replaced the failed seal with a new one and examined the anti dive valve for operation. it operated normaly at that time, but on further examanation at a later date was found to again be locked up, and at that time i replaces the deffective plunger mechanism on the top of the anti dive unit that operates it with front brake pressure. not sure of the exact dates. initial failure was in late 2003, and the second was in late 2004. *ak
