    fork problems

    the other day i noticed that my forks are bottoming out on my 250 es. any idea why? i thought maybe it is cause of the cold weather and they just froze its been like -25 so idk. and ive been riding it in the snow alot. any way i can fix it? i dont know much about forks and stuff.

    Check your springs... Check/change your fluid (heavier) Keep in mind the ES forks kinda suck, and dont offer alot of travel...
    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    i never really got the time to check the forks but i guess within a day and a half they shot back up, it was pretty warm today. like around 30's so maybe that had something to do with it? thanks for the help

    I would change the oil in them if they are acting up. Some people never change it. Looked like milky sludge on my 200X when I first changed it. 100X better with new fluid, and costs under $1.00 in ATF.
