I have an 07 KX 250. There is a grey plastic plug on the bottom you have to pry out. How much do you weigh? Riding level? I have taken a lot of time to adjust mine , I may be able to give you some pointers.

Every time I stop in my local dealer they are out and a few of the guys there ask me if my bike is for sale yet. I just smile and shake my head. It seems even the employees wish they kept their 2 smokers and never went to the thumpers. I think they are hard to come by these days.

I talked to the mechanic that has done some motor work for me on things in the past. He said $60 if I bring him the forks or 130 if I bring the bike in whole. Thats for new seals and dust covers included in that price and also the oil is included. I wish I had the time to read up on it and try it myself but it's prime riding time. Thank you all for the much appreciated advice and tips.

When I had it tied down in the truck it was actually running down the fork and pooling in my truck bed. It's just the one side. I know they all leak a little but this is more than I would say is "normal". It leaks more when they are compressed a little. I dont notice it as bad when I am riding.

Does the dust cover have a spring retainer around it? I have heard about the film trick but not with the brake cleaner. Thanks for the advice I will give it a try.

We used to pack them with fine steel wool when I was a kid. Not sure if the bikes today would 
be ok with it , but it's an option. I need to do mine and the dealer packing is what I will use.

I just bought a new to me 2007 KX 250 and it leaks a small amount of fork oil around the seal on the right side. How hard is it to fix this. I have never had forks apart before. Thanks in advance.
