I just purchased a 2001 RM 250. The guy I bought it from told me the right front fork is leaking. He said by the time I got home I should expect to see fork oil in the bed of my truck. That didn't happen. AS a matter of a fact I have seen no evidence of leaking at all. This makes me wonder if there is just no oil in the front forks. I am not familiar with this type of fork. I haven't owned a dirt bike for over 12 years. I didn't get an owners manual with the bike. Can anyone please tell me how to check the oil and/or point me in the direction of a place to see maintenance information on this bike and especially the front forks?
