[QUOTE="smellthat?, post: 843177, member: 25266"] Ran a quick look at the bike today before I was going to head out and found some weird fluid on the right-hand side brake rotor. I initially thought I was leaking some brake fluid from the top banjo fitting, but upon closer inspection it appears that I am leaking fork oil from the seal. Not too fatal since I needed to change the fork oil anyway (just got the bike in August last year, but didn't do the forks.) The good news is since I got into the GB for the Ohlins shock, I now can justify (sort of) the front end as well. Since I will have the forks all apart anyway it would be a shame to just reuse old stocks parts right? In the end, it appears I actually have somewhat of a NEED for an add on rather than the usual WANT. A quick question - will fork oil do anything to my front tire? There was some on the rubber and I have no idea if this is bad or not - I did clean the tire off the best I could. I have not ridden it today and may not until I get the front end done. [/QUOTE]
