Shit. Changed the oil last night and was surprised to find a fair amount of oil in and on the lower fairings. Was a bit perplexed by it until I grabbed the left fork to move the front wheel...
Suddenly it all fell into place. It WASN'T my imagination that the front brake didn't quite have the bite it had before, and that slight porpoising on bumps in corners was not my imagination.
I guess I've learned two things straight up:
I should've trusted my instincts.
If I'd kept the bike clean I may have noticed it sooner.
So I've decided to do the forks and steering bearings while I'm in there.
Any tips for either of these jobs?
