The trip home was a short one, but the fuel level was low, and I rolled on the throttle several times (where I could) with no problems.  So hopefully that is the end of this saga.

I don't really know exactly how much fuel is in the tank, they said they added 2 gal and it is indicating 2 bars.  I can't go by my trip meter, obviously, is was set from full before the service.  It is probably in the range that would have caused some problems, before the service.  I rode 50 miles last night and had zero issues.  But it still didn't register low fuel warning (which it would have if there were 2 gal to start with and I put 55 miles on it after).  Will will riding another 70 or so today, probably, but will have to fill it up first, so it will be a while before I am 100% certain.  But I am about 99% sure.

Ah, I forgot to finish the update.  Yes, it seems it is completely fixed.  In fact, it seems to perform better even when the tank isn't low.  We will probably never know exactly what caused the freaky behavior, but I am just glad that she is back up to her old performance.

And not having to worry about the forks leaking randomly is also a huge relief.  I can't believe I put up with that for so long.  Very first leak was Jan 2018!  I will try to pay more attention to keeping the fork tubes clean.
