Not to derail this thread but you guys having your fork seals replaced should do some searching online about how to clean your seals without taking anything apart. More often than not the seal is fine, just dirty. One of my seals was leaking a few weeks ago as well. Spent 10 minutes cleaning it and leak gone. Not the first time this has worked for me.
Good to know. I have only owned the bike for about 3 months now and 1900 miles. It has just over 11,000 and a leaking fork seal is not an uncommon Honda problem from my personal experience. I have had a couple leaking seals on an ST. Thanks for the information, next time I will make sure to check but mine was leaking pretty bad, I would be surprised if it was from being dirty. Enough that it toasted the left side brake pads..........Literally cleaned it up to get to dealer 15 miles away and it was saturated by the time I got there and here in Az we don't usually have many issues with stuff when street riding. Fairly clean with the exceptions of some dust I guess........

Mine is currently at the shop and the shaft is done, but I had a leaking fork seal which is now being corrected as well. I was tempted to send them off to Daughtery but don't have the time or a stand currently to take the forks off and leave in the garage for 2-3 weeks while they are getting done and we are in our prime riding season now. Pretty soon it'll be so damn hot I'll choose AC more then 2 wheels.........

Since getting mine back it does seem a shade quieter but to be honest I didn't have enough saddle time yet to notice much difference I guess. That said she runs silky smooth like a Honda should. The more I ride this bike, the more I wonder if I will be able to keep my license though.................
