ajock Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 To be honest have never stripped these and am ignorant of construction. Can you replace bushes, and where in uk might you get them? Also haven't found a good source of seals as yet? Wasn't planning to change damping as yet anyone have any recomendations as to which oil and what volumes. Many thanks in advance.

If this is twinshock TY250 forks, the sliding contact areas in the fork sliders are integrally cast with the sliders ie they don't have removable bushings. The seals John Cane sells work well. Some others do not. Standard oil volume is fine. The first model TY250 oil volume is slightly different to BCDE model forks. Oil weight is personal taste. I find the standard forks work fine with 10 WT or 15 WT fork oil. Spme people use 5WT. The springs may have become shorter if they are originals. New aftermarket springs are available.
