Looking for some advice before I go back to the shop in the morning....
In November I bought my 1992 K75S.
I took it to the BMW Motorcycle dealer in Manhattan where they did oil change, flush brake fluid, flush coolant, flush transmission (i think) and most importantly: new fork seals.
A couple of days later, another different motorcycle mechanic looked at the bike and told me i needed new fork seals. i just wrote him off as being not credible since i have just paid $400+ to have them replaced.
Now another new mechanic, whom i trust a lot, told me again the fork seals are blown on the bike. this is less than 3 months and 400 miles from service date.
my question is:
what can go wrong with fork seals installation to cause this kind of problem? i.e. could there be some inherent problem with my bike that makes the fork seals problematic?
any advice on how to approach this with original mechanic?
