Thanks for all of the suggestions, but tomorrow im taking the bike to Enzo Racing to have the forks rebuilt, oil replaced, and front and rear Kayaba springs put in. I was thinking of revalving the forks and shock but I don't want to pour a bunch of money into this bike. I still want an exhaust and jet kit!
Sounds like a plan
Since they're gonna have it open anyway, did you ask how much extra a revalve would be? 
I know it's tempting you

Really??
I've heard of harbor seals, harp seals and navy seals but never fork seals.
Did they like it??
Sorry dude but you hung that right over the plate.
Good luck with the warranty. You're right. Since they have to be torn down anyway nows the time to beef things up.

Alright, just dropped the bike off at Enzo Racing an hour ago. I should be getting it back some time week next according to one of the mechanics there. Hopefully I'll get it back sooner.

The thread was about blowing seals. If a KTM can be BOTM in a Kawi forum then a blown seal can be any kind of blown seal.

They're just going to replace what needs to be replaced with Kayaba parts and Kayaba fork oil. No revalving or anything major. They will also be putting in Kayaba springs front and rear.

Good question. I have no idea! I suppose they will determine the right fork oil to use based on the weight of the rider and type of riding I put down. I will ask when I pick the bike up from the shop.
