Can i just use some WD40 on it?
Type of fork?

Spraying wd-40 on a fork will ruin the oil inside.. if it's a suspension fork wipe the stantion tube and dust wipers with a rag then drip some nice chain oil w/ teflon mixed in.. let it soak.. compress and uncompress the forks a bit, wipe the grit off the stantion tubs again then leave it.

btw, don't tear up the local trails... not cool !
