    Hi guys so I’ve got a 1997 zxr250. The tubes are rusty and pitted. Found a set of zxr400rr usd forks for sale and they seem to be the same as zxr250 forks. If anyone could confirm that it would be great or even if anyone could help me find new tubes. Cheers

    From what I can see they dont look too bad

    Try the aluminium foil/WD40 trick

    Scrunch up a piece of foil and spray plenty of WD40 (or INOX) onto the tube and give it a good scrub
