OK I'm back ... sort of !
I will edit as i go (when i stop for the evening or meal breaks) , but i will try to keep it all in a few posts so you can follow it easier
I make pretty detailed tech posts ,(if you have read any of my other suspension help topics you will have noticed this) , i am far from a expert , but i dont mind sharing the knowledge i have acquired , i dont know everything , but as i posted before , if your stuck on something , just ask and i will usually be able to talk you thru it , or review those videos i posted links to , they are very informative
I will upload reference pics like the one above as i go , so you can use them for reference , they are from my 450X Service Manual , but everything is exactly the same, , and i only have a 250X Owners Manual so it does not show the shock breakdown , just the forks (that is why i said buy a Factory Honda Service Manual for it , it will show everything) , i have Service Manuals in PDF format for a quite few bikes like various Honda's ,Yamaha's,KTM's,Suzuki's,Kawasaki's, , just not the 250X (i have one for the 250R) , but all the Honda shocks are exactly the same so what i show you will look just like yours
I have to do some work around the house during the day (remodeling , so , drywall ,texturing,painting, etc), so i might not come back to post the rest till tomorrow evening after i post this tonight , but i will have everything posted before your ready to tear into it, so you have a chance to familiarize yourself with everything you will be doing beforehand
