a fork seal's a fork seal... apparently not

[skyflyer80]

I just installed new K&S fork seals on my A5 a week ago, and today I was disapointed to discover that a few tablespoons or so of oil had pooled up in the fork boots... The sliders are clean and smooth, so I'm assuming that the seals are at fault. I had got them off ebay for 11 bucks, and now I'm thinking I should have checked the list archives before assuming any old seal would do the job. So it looks like some good seals are the Kawasakis? Is there anyplace on the net that sells them at a decent price? And what about fork oil? I used a 10W as per the manual, but maybe a 15W would be better? Oh well, I'm glad to know the much quicker air pressure method of seal extraction(thanks to this group)... Dan Gilk A5
