Default HyperPro Steering Damper

I have a triple-clamp mounted Hyperpro damper on my '00 SV650S.

On my commute this morning, I noticed that it is leaking oil out one end.
Does anyone else have a damper of this type? Ever had one start to leak?
Any tips on what to do about it?

Yup... Get it fixed One of the seals has gone, it'll soon stop working.

Can you get rebuild kits? It's only oil and seals isn't it? It's not nitrogen charged or anything dodgy like that is it?

*edit*

Just had a look at their website. They are nitrogen charged, so you would have to get someone to service it for you.

Interesting point. The website does say that the 'active damping' ones are nitro charged.

Not sure what type mine is, better go see.............
