2003 XR250R shock problem
Recently I have noticed that the left front shock has been leaking a little fluid. Its not very much, I just wanna make sure its not a major problem. If it is what would fix it?

these are non inverted shocks meaning its super easy to replace the seals.

well non inverted forks means no draining oil and you just pull the seals out.

they are non inverted forks so you are just able to take the forks off the bike and then pull the dust seals and slide them off. then pull off any retaining clips and pull out the oil seals.
