KX250F fork seals

Post by lerea3 »

I changed my kids fork seals last year and now the one side is leaking again :cry: What is a good seal besides OEM to use?

Thanks Les.

Have you run a feeler gauge up there to clean out any crud that my be there allowing leakage. Happens to me all the time.

I can see the grit around the whipper but didn't know if you could do that.

Here is a video on using it.

I just use a old film negative to clean mine.
