Oil on floor under front forks
04/22/14 at 14:09:13
Hello,
I am new to owning a bike. I came out yesterday and saw an oil stain on the floor under the left side front fork. I think this is because of a fork oil seal leaking. Is my diagnosis correct? If needed I can post a picture tonight when I get home from work.
Thank you all for this great forum.

Fork seals?... try cleaning first... it can save a lot of work...
(some weeks back, there was a fork post... there is a fork seal cleaning tool for a few bucks, or you can make one from a plastic pop bottle, or even use a plastic coated playing card... just lift the tubes dust seal, then wrap a "tool", around the tube, and slide down under the seal... give it a few rotations around the tube, and it will scrape the gunk off the seal... works 90% of time... and takes 1 minute)...

You should also check your brake fluid... (the reservoir is on the handlebar. right side)...
