[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 653262, member: 18302"] If the fork seal is leaking, it may just be some grit under the lip of the seal. Take a strip of 35mm film or a business card and slide it under the seal and work it around the tube. You would be surprised how often this works. Cutting coils off the fork springs is a cheap way to make them stiffer. If you remove 10% of the coils the spring will be approximately 10% stiffer. Combined with raising the oil level, that should help a bunch. Measure the space between the coils and make sure you will not have coil bind after you shorten the springs. You will need to add spacers to get the right spring preload. It sounds like your shock is shot. Be careful jumping it or riding it until you get that rebuilt! No doubt a newer front end would be a huge improvement, but when you total up the cost and account for your time and labor, it's hard to justify. Afterall, you could find a decent '89 - early '90's KDX for not much more than $1,000. [/QUOTE]
