Message: [QUOTE="cyprice, post: 658322, member: 39966"] I bought my 02 YZ250 in May of this year. Forks have felt a little stiff on the initial stroke so I thought I would take a few minutes today and put in some quality 5w. I got them apart and was greeted with this unhealthy sight. [img]http://www.deltainc.net/cyrus/fork1.jpg[/img] The preload washers are mangled beyond belief, the top 2in of the white plastic is smashed and the steel bottoming cones are dented. [img]http://www.deltainc.net/cyrus/fork3.jpg[/img] I got several nickel sized peices of plastic to pour out with the oil which was filthy black and the level seemed quite low. What would cause this? I have bottomed a few times but nothing that felt violent, could have been the previous owner, he was hefty. How should I check the internals for damage? What should I look for beside the obvious bent and broken items? Thanks, Cy [/QUOTE]
