[QUOTE="MikeT, post: 1410695, member: 21398"] Here is the deal. I have a 2000 YZ250 and my fork seals have been leaking pretty much every time I ride. Last fall, I completely dis-assembled the forks and replaced the dust covers, the seals, the pistons, and the bushings. I cleaned everything off and put new fork oil in. I protected the seals by putting plastic over the top of the tubes when installing them so they wouldn't get cut during installation. I added grease as indicated during installation....... They still leak!.. The lower tubes are not perfect and show some scuffing but no grooves or anything like that. I couldn't feel any sharp protrusions.... I just don't know what to do. I saw on ProCircuit's website that they have as a suspension service where they "Hard anodize" fork tubes. Is is possible that my lower tubes, although they don't look too bad, might actually be bad enough to cause the leaks? Is this anodizing something that can help re-surface the tube and help to stop the leaks? I am about at the end of the line with this problem and do not know anything else I can do to fix it. If I buy another set of used forks they may have exactly the same problem that I have. Please give some input on this situation. Thanks [B]BTW, I don't care who fixes the problem, MX-Tech can have my business if they have a solution. I just want the leaks to STOP!!![/B] [/QUOTE]
