Well, DUH, it all LEAKED OUT!   :icon_twisted:

Sorry, I'm bored today.

Seriously...you have RED oil leaking out?   Are you 100% sure it is coming from your bike?   Maybe some a$$hole threw something on your bike and it dripped down?   As TragicImage said, you don't have tranmission oil in your bike.   Er...you didn't PUT transmission fluid in it, did you?

Well if you blew one of your fork seals now would be a good time to upgrade to progressive springs

I doubt it. .  .they will check with suzuki to see if it's still under factory warrenty.  . . I know I got a letter in the mail from them about a month before my warranty expired asking if I wanted to buy the extended warranty.

they didnt send me one tho so i guess he might pass it on warranty..... i know the guy very well and he knows hes about to loose me cause i have a dealer i could get parts cheaper because they give me a discount so if he doesnt help me basically he loses me as a client

Well I think we found the problem. You don't ride the damn thing enough. You know lack of use has been known to make other "things" go bad  :o
