I have a YY250T that I bought new August 2011. Right from the start the front forks would bottom out on almost any bump. Then the left side started leaking. replaced the left side. No more bottoming out. Now after about 5000 miles the right side is leaking.
Are there fork seals available? The people I bought it from say "No". On line sellers list only the whole strut assembly.
Will seals for a Honda Reflex fit. The set is only $17. (It is cloned from a Reflex I think.)

Thanks, Sky

I bought fork seals from Honda for a CN250 (under $20) that look right. I will report back when I have a chance to install them.
Here is a link for a pair of struts for what one would cost from where I bought the scoot.

The first one Superior sent me when the other side leaked was that kind and was too small in diameter to fit the fork assembly.

The Honda seals that I ordered fit perfectly. I only ordered one kit (one seal and one dust cover) because I didn't know for sure that they fit and I had replaced the whole strut on the other side just last fall. Less than $20 from the Honda dealer. I had a chance tonight to install them.
Honda part #51490-KL8-900 for a CN250 Honda Reflex.
