heres the story:
i just bought a rd 250 and these forks are covered in old dried oil.
so for me its clear that these forks need some love,new seals,new oil,...
so there are 2 possibilities for me:
either repair them:never done that kinda work,do i need special tools to change the oil and the seals,im a total noob to suspension work.putting them in a pro workshop would be a possibility too,but i heard its extremel expensive.
or change the forks to a matching fork from another bike or buy an aftermarket product,my budget is not that high,but if i spend dollars on that possibility i would like to upgrade the ridaability of my turd.
any thoughts?
has anyone done an rd fork swap or fork repair?
