Front forks leak or not

[rd400greenhorn]

Hi guys

So Unfortubately i saw that under the dust cover on the fork legs, there was visible oil.
The bike has been stranding in a wheel stand for a week.

Now i have removed the front fork, when compressing Them out on the floor, they dont seem to leak?

What the hell?

I dont think they lost All their oil and was wondering, is there a explanation to this?
Anyone tried anything like it?
.
The forks were put in 2 years ago, brand new.

Did you have the forks compressed for a week?
I ask because my RZ will seep if I tie the front end down too hard on the trailer. Under normal, at times quite vigorous operation they are dry as a bone. If you are uncertain that they are properly serviced them drain and refill them.

Maybe,  because the front wheel stood in a wheel stand Which basically liftet the front end up, my springs are somewhat soft, so it proberly sat a. Few cm down in the legs.

And then After one week for 2 days i had it lifter up under then engine

I Will check today

Do you have the original fork springs installed?  Unless you are under 65 kg or so, they will be too light. Have you checked out RaceTech springs and emulators?

Yes i know the emulator Kit but I went with the 'easy' route and put in progressiv springs.
