Honda XR150L

Wow, reminds me of the old (unbushed top or bottom) CB750 forks they used to say would visibly flex while you're going down the road.
Exactly ! Both of my SOHC CB750's suffered from that, but they at least lasted 40+ years before they got too bad.
 
The cb750 is the 1st bike I thought of after reading the post. I don't think the xr will be too much of an issue. I have not taken my clone ct70 forks apart and no issues. If anything the buyer has some leverage that high otd would be ridiculous on such technology. I wonder if the hawk, tbr7, raven, xpect have a lower bushing. I cant remember seal issues or excessive slop has ever been reported. Flex has been reported though. The forum gurus will figure out the xr150l. And I bet the forks will have flex complaints way before seal and wear issues. Wonder if flex contributes to wear. Or pinching the sliders with the 70s style axle.
