Anyone know if this is a big issue? I had some work done on the forks about 3 months ago but just noticed this blue stuff coming out of the steering stem.

 

It's bearing grease. Wipe it off and go for a ride.

 

That's just extra grease. No worries

 

Yep, neck bearing grease. Wipe it off and ride on. You can use marine bearing grease next time you grease that bearing. It won't weep as much.

 

Thanks guys. And sorry for the newbie question. I never saw that on my previous bike.

 

Then it didn't have enough grease in the steering bearings.

 

You get used to it, and the eventual smell. On my bike it has a tendency to land on the front jug of the engine if I don't notice it in time, looks like your bike has a nice little collection tray to keep that from happening. Kept thinking something was wrong with my bike with the smell until I put 2 and 2 together.

 

Just keep it off the tire!

 

Dab a little on your lips before you head off on the next ride. It will keep you lips nice and supple and prevent sunburn and chaffing.

 

Next time you put grease in it use hi temp like Lucas red n tacky.
