[QUOTE="DAVE C, post: 344602, member: 27145"] I broke down my forks last night to replace a blown fork seal and the oil in that particular fork leg was very milky, which usually indicates that there was water in there (I guess). The other fork's oil looked fresh. The forks were re-sealed with new oil immediately before I bought the bike. How did the water get in there? Powerwashing? I put this in this forum b/c I also wanted to ask for recommendations on oil level in the forks. I have a 2001 YZ 125 and no mods have been done to the forks. Stock 41 springs and stock valves. I plan on running Silkolene 2.5 wt fork oil, but I need to find the right level. When I broke the good fork down, the level was 71 mm from the top of the outer tube. However, the manual says it should be b/w 80-150mm. Could the excess oil be what caused the seal to blow on my second ride? What level would you guys recommend for track riding (40-50ft doubles, etc). I weigh about 175 lbs. Any suggestions? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
