    I went out for a 280 mile ride yesterday and braved the heat it was 98 deg
    yesterday. Remer I change my fork seals ? Well while I was half way into the
    ride I looked down at my forks and saw a drop of fork oil on them. I have
    checked my air pressure today and it was not too high as a mater of a fact
    it was just a bit low which I like for a smother ride. I wiped down the
    forks just to see what happens when it was getting night time when I got
    home there was a film of oil on the fork. I took the bike around the block
    just now an again it is 97 deg here, when I made my first corner I looked
    down a saw a small drop of oil. (cold forks this time) (cold for here) I am
    planning to talk to the mech to see what he can do. I don't think they have
    too much oil in them.

    Ok the Question........Do any of you have a idea what is wrong ?

    I do!

    You have leaky fork seals. Smother your ride and go see the mater mech
    for a remer change. Did you use 10w-30 or 20w-50? Dino or Synth? Did
    you change the filter in each of the forks too?
