I just bought a 2000 rm125 and it has leaking fork seals.Is it hard to change these?I read somewhere something about sticking a business card between the seal to get out the dirt.Does this work??THANKS

It might. If the cause of the leak is just a granule of dirt trapped in the seal, you can take a business card or something similar and push it up under the seal and try to work any dirt out. It's worth a shot, anyway. Wipe up any oil that has leaked, and clean the lower tube real well after you do this. Then, in the morning, check to see if any new fluid has leaked. If so, you'll probably need a new seal.
