    Is it OK?

    Can I still ride my bike before I get the fork seals fixed? I can't stand to see it sitting in the driveway any longer.

    Might not handle as well...less dampening. Make sure the oil doesn't leak down on the brake pads/disks = bad.

    Other than that, it shouldn't damage anything as far as I know.

    oil on rotors= bad news. damaged a few this way too. I'd get the seals replaced before riding honestly... god forbid something were to happen due to the bike not being mechanically sound.. you might be kicking yourself later. Don't ask me how I know
