Default Fork seal warranty

Anyone know if fork seals are covered under warranty? Indy told me they might be a small leak.

My right one has a small link and the bike is under warranty. Bump for answer if it is covered...

Just call up a dealer and ask. My guess is that they will be considered a wear/tear, or consumable, item. They all need replaced eventually, but the dealer might accept it since it is so new. Depends on how many miles are on the bike.

Anything like that (seals/gaskets/etc...) probably would be considered maint./service parts so these might not be covered...did you call the dealer/service dept?

I think it should be covered, unless there is a nick in the tube from a rock that then damaged the seal.

Unlimited miles for 2 years should cover everything, except brakes, oil and tires. (and maybe light bulbs.)

My RK had a leak in the primary, and they fixed that under warranty.
