Default Forks leaking a little

I just got done putting on the hour meter and testing it on the bike by just letting it idle. When I shut the bike off and get ready to put it away, I see a little drop of oil coming out of the fork.

Is replacing the seals a big job?

It's not too bad. If you are mechanical and have a manual, then you shouldn't have any issues.

You may not need to replace them. It's possible there's a little bit of dirt got up under there. Try searching on here for the film negative trick.
