Basic neglect I think. Bought the bike from E-bay in perfect nick but the forks were stiff, dropped the lowers to service them and ta-da, look what I found. The guy refunded me so I was pretty lucky. Let it be a lesson kids, service your forks!!!!
Cheers man. No its been a long wet season.. lots of rain rides and the rebound dampening is starting to go.. time to crack some nuts and pop some seals'
