    You can try pushing a feeler gauge up under the seal and run it around to clean out any dirt that may be there causing the leak. You can also buy a tool that does the same thing only better. If it still leaks then look at pulling them out getting them serviced with new seals

    Hey Pikey
    As Jeffro said with the feeler gauge or plastic shim.
    If they are still leaking and if they are 48mm bring them around with new seals and oil.
    What year is she? I’ll try and do a bit of research to find out oil level/air gap and if there is a special spanner for the top. Don’t take them out of the bike until you loosen the top tripple clamp and loosen the top fork nut. May need a special spanner.???
    Let us know how you go
    Cheers

    Hey Murph, if they are the same as the 450 there are no special tools required, first just loosen the top nut while the legs are in the clamp, take the legs out , unscrew the outer tube and drain the oil then pull the spring down enough to get a spanner[17mm i think] on the nut at the top of the rod, then get another spanner on the top fork nut and undo, this will allow the spring to come out.
    Take the dust seal off and undo the circlip which will allow the leg to be removed so the seal can be replaced, then start the rebuild.
    I think the oil level is around 120mm .
    Don’t undo the allen bolt in the bottom of the leg and take it apart that way as it’s a lot easier this way.
    The 450s are 48mm toubs so if the 250s are smaller the oil height might be different.
    Hope this helps ;) ;) ;)
