I need to get new fork seals for my forks and have the oil changed in them. Anyone on here rebuild these? How much do you charge? E-mail me at xcr600sp96@hotmail.com

Rebuilding forks is super easy, you could easily do it yourself in an afternoon.

I have never done a set on a tri-z but they can't be much different than the 250r's I have done. Get yourself a manual and do it yerself. Make sure you have a bench vise and a large/clean bench to work on so you can put everything in order as you take it apart. When it comes to driving the new seals in, go to a plumbing/hardware store, find a pieve of PVC pipe that fits tightest over the upper fork tube and use that as your seal driver. No expensive/special tools required.

Good Luck.

Except snap ring pliers and you might already have some.

True, I forgot about them but Sears has them and they are probably less than ten bucks.

Yea, forks are really simple, just get a manual o ave someone scan the pages,,,, Don't wast the money having them done,,,,, if you can remove them from the bike, you can rebuild them
