I own a 2001 Honda CR 125R. I just replaced my fork seals 2 weeks ago, rode a little bit and they started to leak again. I want to know do they make a more hevier duty seal? Should I adjust my front suspension or will I always run into this problem?

Sounds like you didn't install the seals properly. If the seals are not greased upon install, or the forks are not thourougly cleaned while disasembeled, they will prematurley fail. You could have "nicked" them on the top of the fork tube as well. Try again grasshopper.

No, they don't make a "more hevier duty seal",
No, you don't need to adjust the suspencion to prevent blown fork seals.
