I just bought a 2003 honda cr 250 and i am pretty sure i need new fork seals and maybe bearings. I was wondering if anybody could tell me what this might cost to get done.

Are you planning to do it; or have it done?  A lot of dealers can do it but I generally use a true suspension shop (Factory Connection is my choice but there are a number of good ones).  Most if not all will give you an estimate if you call or email.

Doing it yourself does require some special tools.

Use a suspension shop. You will get a better price and most of the time a better job because that is there specialty.  
I love this dirt stuff.

You could even send them to Pro Circuit. They will tune the suspension according to your weight. The shock and forks are probably overdue for an oil change anyway.

Yea, pretty much any suspension tuner can do this. Except one difference, they are cheaper.

Just because they have a big name does not mean better quality.

Do it yourself, its so simple that once you do it you will wonder why you ever paid such a rediculous amount to do something so simple.

And other suspension companies don't?
