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?
Sold: 2007 S2R1000 for canyon carving and commuting - DP ECU, PCIII, BMC air filter with open box, Zard full exhaust, Race-tech fork internals, Ohlins steering damper, and a Penske 8987 triple clicker

2000 996XU (extra ugly) for track days - BST carbon wheels, Ohlins shock, reworked fork, FBF exhaust, and a bunch of megacycle rocker arms. The rest of it is junk - Hey, I'm just happy that it runs...

Have they always been like that or did it just start.  If it just started, something is either bent or out of alignment/binding.
