so with the new forks the kawi and honda are running , what happens if you blow a seal on race day ? does the front end go limp ? do you crash and eat it ?
with the spring foks you blow a seal on race day you leak a little oil and get them fixed monday not a super big deal . but what will it be like with these new forks?

I am guessing the front suspension still has actual springs right?
There is no longer a clicker to adjust the suspension-like 12 compression/10 rebound and instead you use the amount of air to make it softer or stiffer?
Regular forks still have an air chamber. Compressing air gives a different force rate to compressing a spring.
The air replaces the spring not the valving. So there is still comp/rebound clickers but now with a air valve to adjust the psi for different spring weights.
I am guessing you can still adjust the fork oil levels than to make it stiffer or softer or is that gone as well?
