The fork on my S2R1K has a lot of stiction (like around 25mm). The lowers are clean, and the bike has never been down so I don't think anything is bent. I've systematically loosened all of the front-end hardware and re-torqued everything, to take care of any potential misalignment issues. I'm thinking that the seals and/or bushings are the cause.
Are there after-market seals/bushings that are designed specifically to minimize stiction?
Have they always been like that or did it just start. If it just started, something is either bent or out of alignment/binding.
