Title: Wanted YZ250 1979, IT250 81 Inner tube dia 38mm x 650-700mm long
Post by: oldyzman on April 06, 2009, 10:25:37 pm

Hello Guys,
The forks on my yz250 have just been re-assembled after a placing new seals, I cleaned them out and used 15 wt oil. one works fine the other seems to work well when compressed slow but when compressed fast it seems to feela bit like a stapler- this happens at different ranges of the forks, I then swapped the inner tube from the good one to the bad and that fixed the problem. The chrome is getting was bit thin down the lower end. I also removed the inner tube and fine honed the inner of the fork tube with lite scothbrite as there seemed to be a bit of pitting inside, this seemed to help the prob a bit. Any ideas guys. Or does anyone know if there is a fork inner available some where.

Thanks LWC will check it out. do you think the pitting on the inside of the inner tube will matter much as the dampener plunger euns in there.....

I've probably got a nice pair of forks spare.
Will have to wait until I get home on Friday arvo to check.

Call me sometime over the weekend and I'll check for you.

The pitting is not too bad< I honed the inner of the inner with lite scothchbrite. seemed to make it better. But not perfect.
I am really after a couple of inner tubes for yz250f only as the IT ones previously mentioned have a slightly different setup. As the YZ ones do not seem to have the lower metal slide bush on them, is this normal or is something wrong?
