Rebuilding 2001 KX 250 forks

[kimoajaj]

Hi guys!

Last fall I bought a 2001 KX 250 that was suppost to be in top condition with newly rebuild shocks/forks, bike seems to be en great condition but I`ve been storing my bike in my garage this winter and occationally I`ve hade to wipe som oil of the floor around the front tire. Found out that the oil came from the left fork so I guess I have to rebuild it. Luckily a pair of oil seals & dust seals came along with the bike so the only thing I need is oil and some good advice from you guys.

I`ve rebuilt 8 normal bike forks and 2 upside down forks (on my 1993 KX125) but I`ve heard rumours that the newer dirtbike forks is hard to rebuild?.

I thought that the forks from my new 250 would be the same to rebuild as my old 125 ?.

I would really appreciate any tips or info on this one, hoping to have my bike up`n running next weekend.

Thanks on advance ;).

Joakim.

Gees guys help me out :).

Anyone?.

I`m just wondering if rebuilding these shocks will be the same as the old forks from my 1993?.

Should be pretty much the same deal as your 1993.

I hope that my oil will arrive before the weekend, that`s how it is to live on the countryside, no dealers nearby ;).
