hello all, im going to replace my fork seals by my self and was wondering what is the best oil to use for a 2004 yamaha yzf250? also how many mills of oil do i put in? thanks

wow thanks for all the replys! i posted the same question on http://yamahaforum.com/ a week before and had no replys! and within a day i get a 4 replys on this! i am putting my seal problem when tieing the bike down i did compress the seals a couple of inces for over a hour! ive seen a few great how to do vids on you tube so im going to get a few quotes of dealers and if the worst comes to the worst im going to try myself as a feel able to if i follow some vids on you tube! cheers

hi guys! i have just purchased a 2004 yzf250! i got home had a rip around then realised the two forks were covered in oil! its coming from the fork seal, every time i push down it creates a ring of oil on both forks! i wanted to know if it is normal for both seals to go at the same time? also how much roughly will it cost to replace by a mechanic also is it straight foward to do it myself because i have hardy any mechanical ability. many thanks!
