fork seals and suspension

I could not figure out why my bike stopped worse than normal using the front break. I called a local shop and the guy asked if I had any fork seals leaking. Well I did about a month or two ago and the oil saturated the pads and now I could not lock up the front end on ice. I was reading about changing the seals using air pressure on the KLR Faq page. Has anyone else done it that way? I am also interested in getting some of the play out of the front suspension. I read about using 15w oil and maybe even a piece of pvc pipe to help take up some of the spring space. Progressive springs is not an option. no $$$

Hello to the group Would anyone know if the new KLR has the auxiliary 12 V wires like the previous one used for running lights in other countries ? I also remember buying a repair manual on a CD for my A14 and I'm wondering if anyone knows of such CD for the 2008. Thanks and safe ride S
