Just got back from a little Sunday jaunt 2-up Map of Ride

and I noticed quite a bit of oil coming from one of my fork seals,Evil or Very Mad the question is, am I definitely up for a fork rebuild? or are there things I should check before I do anything rash?

Thanks in anticipation.

Only just run in, 98,000 km, I only replaced the fork oil in February, perhaps I should have left the black gunky oil in Smile "get the forks redone"? I'm a do-it-yourself kind of guy!

Thanks for the input, one reason I'm a bit reluctant is that I'm ready to update, ooops cat just got out of the bag. Shocked
