[QUOTE="SterlingYZ, post: 620910, member: 40452"] I was wondering everyone's opinion on this. I went to load my bike up last weekend for a day of riding, and noticed a puddle of oil on the ground right under my fork. YEP, it has blown a fork seal. I love this sport SO much, but sometimes I feel like I work ON my bike more than I get to enjoy riding it, which isn't cool, but I digress. Since I am going to have my fork seals changed (I have heard it is easy, but I am just not at the point where I WANT to spend another Saturday with tools and my bike apart), is it worth the extra money\necessary to have the fork revalved, or should I just stick with the fork caps and dust seals being changed. I am speaking of the bang for buck value here. I am not a serious racer, just a weekend rider who will also be entering a few races later this summer (riding a '97 YZ125). I am being charged $150 including parts for the seal and cap swap, including oil (with a 24 hour turnaround time!). Does this sound about right to have a professional perform this service? I just would like to have SOME idea of whether it is worth what I am paying for. ALSO, In the back of some MX magazines, I see revalving for under $100 (I think), but he gave me an estimate of more than double that, IF I wanted it done, all Race tech stuff he said. What are the other hidden costs with this/ would this include a seal and cap swap if needed? All in all, what is it I should be looking at spending/having done, considering the type of riding/racing I do? Am I fine sticking to the original plan? Sorry for the long post everyone, and thanks in advance for the feedback! -Sterling [/QUOTE]
