...getting down to the bike is the hardest part for me for some reason i don't know why.... but the front forks have been leaking sense I got the bike and they need to be fixed. so this summer looks like a good time to do it.
it shouldn't be a big job at all once I can get to the forks but it may take a day for me just to get to the silly forks ! HAHAHA
i expect it will take me 3 days to complete it simply because I will not rush myself...i'm retired and I don't have to work hard anymore so I won't ! 
.....
the manual does explain how to put the seals in and if there are special tools to do it I am sure I can rig something up that will work. 
....never done forks on a 250R Ninja before so this may well be a learning experience for this old man !

You are braver than myself, planning to do the job yourself..
Would be interesting to hear about your experiences later, if you find the time. Good luck!
