Its your fork seals, the replacement is as per the thread that AJ posted. It happens to all bikes after a while, but the things that speed it up are not servicing the forks frequently enough and not cleaning the fork legs, especially on a RWU bike.

have a good read of that thread first.......and if you can, print it out and have it handy with you.
the one time ive done it took me half a day with help............
make sure you have all the tools as well.....no point taking forks off and then realising you dont have the bolt/allen key to take the cap off

apparently they leak or have a very short life?
Probably bodgy installation, but I wouldn't look past it. Biggest issue is buying quality components for the thing thats keeping you on a direct, controllable course while at 100km/h or more. I'd say people frequenting eBay for such parts may not always be looking for the item with the best quality.

That said, I personally wouldn't doubt a set of seals from eBay.
