82' xj750 maxim repairs.

I haven't posted in awhile but I've been plugging along but made a bone head mistake. I didn't have much to do, at a stand still while the 750 seca tank is being prepped, and I put some air into my forks since the rebuild. I had a little pocket hand held bike pump and greatly mistook it's abilities haha. I put 4-5 strokes into the forks and then tested the pressure with a gauge at it was at 20 psi. I immediately drained them. I read the limit is 17.5 awhile back and now I have some minor oil residue on my forks after a good handful of full compressions. I removed the forks, and I was hoping maybe I could salvage the new oil seals by drying everything out, and creating a tight dry seal again? I ordered new oil seals in case it doesn't work out but they won't be here for a couple weeks. Has anyone ever done this. Can 3-4 psi really ruin the new oil seal and it's spring ?

Thanks in advance

 

oil does transfer to forks from seal. 17 psi is max if you did not ride bike like that probally no damage done

 

Thanks man! So a little fork oil on the tubes is normal? There's none collecting around the seals or anything, just oil residue that'll leave your finger tip wet around the fork tubes. I did not ride the bike at all, filled, tested with gauge, then drained. Maybe I'm just over reacting.. which can be normal haha
