Fatal flaw in the design and/or factory lube. Lube melts, separates. It's also sticky and picks up dust from the disc. That crap grinds into the quill and chafes it.


The real fix is to drop the trans and replace worn components. I seem to be having good luck with graphite/molybdenum grease in the main fork pivot but not sure long-term because covid. Haven't been driving it much.
