Hi Matthew

The FG9050 forks on the SP models almost always leak some oil, especially if the bike's been standing. My own bike does this - but it clears if the bike's used more regularly. Some race gurus say that they were designed to 'weep' slightly, in order to overcome the problem of 'sticktion'.

Certain unique tools are needed to rebuild these forks, so I'd go to a specialist if you decide to have them stripped.
