[QUOTE="motopuffs, post: 100501, member: 22281"] '01 Cr250 took the forks apart, put in .42 springs, changed the outer oil but not the inner chamber oil, put in 370 cc Maxima (slightly less oil than stock) forks worked great for several rides then one started weeping a little now after yesterday, they are both severely blown (you know how it leaves a puddle wherever you park it) air is bled regularly I do bottom occasionally when I ride, but this shouldn't blow seals! There should not have been enough dirt behind the wipers to cause a problem, I cleaned that all out when I had them apart. What's the deal? Anyone had bad luck with the Maxima oil? As a side note, on a KX100 (with forks way to soft for an adult) I added fork oil until the forks were actually hitting a wall an inch or two before the bottom of the travel. They wouldn't bottom no matter what! Think of how much pressure I created there, and still not as much of a slight weep from the fork seals. I don't get it. Any other cr250 owners out there having the same problems? I just got the bike new this spring, by the way. Thanks in advance for your help... [/QUOTE]
