Hey guys, ive got a Boss Stealth (its shit i know) And after leaving it out in the cold and the rain for a few weeks without using it, the front forks have locked, ive tried WD40, hitting it with a hammer, and riding violently with no care, they still are locked, and its getting on my nerves now.

Any suggestions?



Edit:
Just got on it earlier this morning, front forks are still seized up.

Edit:
They have started moving when i jump ramps and land front first, which is bad for the bike anyways.

Go to a bike repair?

Just the first thing that springs to mind...

Haha Mario's bike had liquid rust and the front wheel fell off when he was riding.

i find normal break pads wear out too quickly, usually within a few weeks in the summer when its hot as well.
