Forks And Tires

Re: 2009 T100
Fork seals are leaking...gaiters are cracked..have already bought time with a Sealmate. When replacing fork seals should I replace the dust covers also?

Also, anybody having trouble finding the OEM tires? The manual lists a Metzeler ME33 Laser 100/90 19 Bias for the front and a Metzeler ME Z2 130/80 R17 for the rear.

Some tire brands are having a tough time ramping up production and creating shortfalls. Not sure if that's the case here with Metzler. Can try other brands. Avon, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Michelin, Shenko, etc, Don't have to stick with the Bias/Radial set up. Can go full one way or the other.
And your seals probably went bad because your dust seals allowed too much dirt into the seals, so yes I would change them.
