Is it a stock front suspension setup or did you lower it any?
When was the last time you serviced the front end - it might have leaked fork oil at the seal or something..

There is a Suspension section in here, which might have been a better place, however give us some more details of your bike. Do you have a BIG problem, or a BIG wheel, which is causing your problem! Tell us what size your wheel is, year and model of bike. Are there any mods to the suspension, such as a lowering kit?
