Not sure what LT Racing used for seal grease on mine. But the old seals he sent back to me were torn before and parallel to the lip. The inside of the seal looked like it’s a black rubber. Ever since he revalved and fully serviced them, no more black fork oil. RockyMountain ATV sells Race Tech Seal grease. I ordered some to do another full servicing this winter.

After talking with Les on the phone, I'll be sending my suspension to him when our riding season shuts down this winter. Don't trust many in the industry, but Les has been in the game for decades and has seen and done tons of Sachs suspension with high praise and reviews. Plus he's local to me and understands the terrain I ride intimately.

Some good reading up on this one. I just picked up my first Beta (2018 300rr) and have talked to Les over at LT after several recommendations. I'll be dropping off the parts this weekend at his shop. Thanks for the info, everyone.
