'99 KX250 Rehab (Budget Rebuild)

<< < (25/34) > >>

ecdeyzel:
Hey guys, managed to finish the forks. Got a rebuild kit to replace worn bushings and got new oil and dust seals. Topped up with fresh oil and put'em back together. Very happy. Unfortunately I am having some tech issue so didn't take many photos and lost the few I did, but here is a pic of the old fork oil.



Forks should be much happier now.

I've set the clickers to factory spec, but will play around with them once the bike is up and running and I can do testing.

you should be very happy with them....I'm assuming the springs and valving are all stock?
Factory Connection only re-valved mine, the stock springs were left in there...I weigh either side of 215, and they work great.

Valving most probably will be stock, but the springs don't have and end where the gaps get smaller like the repair manual suggests, butt guess they are also stock? One side of the springs have three lines cut onto the flat ends, like a crosshair and used that for top. *shrug I weigh the same as you Foxx but with a lot less muscle and more flab. HAHAHA! I will definitely look to do some suspension upgrades in the future once the flames have been extinguished on my wallet :lol:

ecdeyzel:
Hi guys, I need some advice. I bought a new Excel spoke kit for the rim I got a while ago but the spoke nipples are a bit too big for the holes. They fit through the original rim though. I need to increase the hole from about 7.8mm to 8.5mm. Will it be safe to drill the holes a little bigger myself?

I've drilled a ton of rims and hubs out but to be certain you should contact the rim manufacture.
