Hi first time on this site anyway got a 75 mt 250.
question #1 can the original rear shocks be rebuilt they look to me completely sealed.
question #2 front forks just installed new (honda seals) cleaned out but same problwm exsists.
that is when I push down on handelbars they works fine but I have to pull back on bars to allow last 2 inchs of travel to come up.cheers every one great site.

I don't think the MT250 shocks can be rebuilt. Perhaps the 14.5" long units from the early CR250 would fit.

Do your forks have all four springs in them? If the shorter springs are missing or the springs are weak, you'd get the sag you describe. If the forks are binding (i.e., they stay up under spring pressure when you pull them back up), they could be bent.
