[QUOTE="530ktm, post: 90338, member: 586"] Leaving the forks compressed could possibly have and effect on the seals because of the continuous pressure. The process of compressing the forks will have an effect on the seals and when they are kept compressed the pressure is still there. I do not like leaving my forks compressed and I compress them as little as possible when I tie it down. I also use my fork bleeders to relieve any pressure in the tubes. It would be like leaving your car parked with a few hundred pounds of bricks in the trunk and the thing is sitting on the ground in the rear end. I don't think that is doing any good on the suspension components, which would be like the front forks being compressed for a few days. A couple of hours is one thing but a few days I would not want to do. That is my story and I'm sticking to it. :prof: [/QUOTE]
