| My 1996 RM250 needs the fork seals replaced. Anyone done this with any sucess? I've done plenty of repairs; just never done any fork repairs. I ordered a factory manual which never came in. They finally told me the manual was no longer available. I will have to order a Clymers manual which always seem to be too generalized and vague. Thanks......Josh |

| [bI WOULD CHECK THE FOLLOWING:CHECK FOR GOOD COMPRESSION, PREMIX RATIO CORRECT, CORRECT PLUG BEING USED?, AIR/FUEL MIXTURE SCREW SETTING, CLEAN AIR FILTER I TRIED SEVERAL PLUGS UNTIL MY BIKE RAN GOOD. THE STOCK PLUG IS IRIDIUM STYLE (EXPLENSIVE, BUT MAY BE YOUR BEST BET). GOOD LUCK. |
