[QUOTE="ssaulnier, post: 1330990, member: 34258"] I bought a set of 1993 KX250 forks off the on-line auction site. They will need to be rebuilt (seals, orings, bushings etc) and the blue anodize coating is a bit worn off on spots with a little surface corrosion (my KDX did the same). When I take them apart for rebuild I can sand off the corrosion and get them anozided again. Is there another coating that would be better than anodize? I have always bought factory replacement oil and dust seals, bushings, etc. Is any of the aftermarket stuff longer lived or much less expensive or should I stick with Kawasaki parts? I am looking for a more plush ride and less front wheel deflection in the woods over rocks and roots in 2nd and 3rd gear. I also want to start practicing a little bit of jumping (nothing extreme just single jumps or table top stuff). I am 51 now and do not like crashing. Also is the stock damping ok for trail riding or should I modify it? Are there adjustment that I can make while I am rebuilding them without buying a RaceTech Gold Valve kit? The RaceTech web site lists the stock KX250 springs at 0.377 kg/mm, so they are a little stiffer than the stock KDX250 springs (RaceTech site says 0.34 kg/mm). I guess I will try the KX springs first and see how it feels for my 210 pounds (no gear). [/QUOTE]
