Dirtbikes motocross?

Question

Hello i have a 2005 yz250f and i think my suspension is shot...................... Can anyone tell me how i can tell if its shot????

Answer 1

You should be able to tell pretty easily, if u go over a jump or anything small and it bottems out than yes its shot. Id take it to ur dealer and have them rebuild it its not that expensive.

Answer 2

What do you mean by shot? Does it feel different than it used to? Is it leaking oil? If your race sag is properly adjusted for your weight it shouldn't sag more than about 4", but an incorrect race sag doesn't mean it's broken. If you see a big change in the suspension obviously something is wrong. You also didn't say whether it was the front or back suspension. The more details you give the more help you will get.

Answer 3

shot? Do you mean broken? Its pretty easy to tell if your suspension is not working properly. If you sit on it and it sags more than like 5 or 6 inches then yes. Any less you might have to adjust your settings.

Answer 4

i have the same bike. you might need a mechanic to re valve it, you might need new sprigs, or your fork seals might need to be replaced. But i bet you just need some routine maintenance on them.

Answer 5

Check and see if it has any bullet holes.
