hi guys, I decided that im tired of paying someone else to do fork seals on my bikes so I decided to order the tools from motion pro and do them myself. there are plenty of vids on youtube that show it step by step. seems simple enough. any tips/tricks or things I need to be aware of before I attempt? parts will be here tomorrow. I'm going to try it on my 06 yz first before I decide to order the tools to do them on my 19 kx 450. I will take pics and post the ensuing shit show I'm about to embark on if interested.

A bushing is actually still in good shape as long as you can't see through the black coating. However, if you reuse it you have to consider how many hours it's going to endure before it gets closer to being metal on metal.
Most bushings that get replaced are actually still in good shape and have a lot of life in them. But...better safe than sorry.
By the way, some forks are a bit finicky when it comes to bushing tolerances. Sticking with OEM/KYB issued is a good idea.
