Bike Model = : GT250R 2011
The forks have been very soft for the last 5k km and it started leaking after i washed my bike (did not wash with pressure).
Im wondering what i should do and if there are any videos of bikes that have the similar system, there is nothing online about disassembling the 250r.
Also if that cant be helped, what oil i should use? and which parts i should replace. Ive already ordered the fork oil seals and dust seals (and will probably buy new oil too) but wondering if there is anything else i should replace on the forks as the bike has ridden 23k km.
Anyways, tell me WHAT i should replace and IF you know any bikes whom have the same forks. Thanks

I did my own seals about 5 years ago when I last intended to get it back on the road, it went well theres one video of a lad in India doing a set of GT250 after getting them painted – I’ll try find it.
I bought a rebuild kit which included the oil, check ebay to see what they pair it with I also used a school measuring beaker that I’d managed to grab for cheap on there to make sure it was an accurate read.
Use 6 point sockets on the top, loosen those first (DON’T FORGET) It’s an easy job if you have a spare day you need to get the driver tool too.
I had one suspiciously leaky leg after buying a set of USD’s on ebay and it turned out there was some blue rag caught in the seal that he must of used to clean the chrome the absolute melt.
I would pay someone to do, even after knowing I can now do it haha.
