WR pre-season maintenance

Time to do some pre-season maintenance on the trusted WR250R.

On my last ride, I had noticed some fork oil leaking from under the seals. This was caused by the frigid temperature and the fact that any water that splashed onto the forks froze almost immediately. But, the seals were damaged, so it's time for new ones.

While I'm at it, I'll be tackling the rear shock (oil and nitrogen charge), reinstalling my powdercoated subframe (still waiting for it), changing brake fluid, greasing the swingarm and all pivot points, greasing head bearings, and a bunch of other things.

I'll be posting as the work progresses. For now, I'll leave you with a sad, sad picture of my WRR.
