I would consider fork seals a wear item and have no idea why the dealer claimed them as a warranty item the 2nd time. When I noticed them leaking, I mentioned it to the mechanic who was going to do my water pump repair. He found the cracked muffler and then claimed the seal(s), the muffler and the water pump as warranty items and Honda granted the claim. My dealer didn't have the fork bushings in stock and while they were waiting on them, I used the Motion Pro fork seal tool (that little piece of thin blue plastic) and the seal wasn't leaking when the bushings came in. But since the forks had to come off to put the Triumph gaitors on, they replaced the seals and bushings. Like I said, I did have to pay for the bushings.
