Ninja250 Lower Fork Paint Need Help!
Hello Everybody,
I have a 2001 Ninja 250 and I am doing a complete rebuild on it! I have rebuilt for the forks but am wondering how I can remove the black paint on the lower forks? I am assuming it has a clear coat on it as well that I have to get rid of? If you have done anything like this before or know anything about it please let me know! Thank you! |

And believe all the cautions on the container. That stuff is bad to get on your skin or breathe. (methylene chloride)

I don't think you can get paint-stripper with methylene-chloride anymore. It was banned by EPA last year after some kids died.
I've used this stuff since and it works pretty well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SQH6JPY Should still exercise caution with gloves and facemask. |

Edit: It looks like you can still buy methylene chloride, just not paint stripper that contains it. Go figure. |
