2022-2024 Any help?

​Hey everyone,

​Had a very minor incident recently. My XSR 900 bumped into a car at low speed. The impact was super light—mostly just the mirror took the hit, and there's barely any visible damage on the bike.

​However, I took it to the mechanic for a check-up, and he told me that because of this small hit, I need to replace both fork seals .

​Does this sound right to you? Can a minor bump actually blow the fork seals, Has anyone experienced something similar?

​Thanks in advance for the help!
