Re 2006 Husqvarna WR125 - I want to top up the fork oil, have the measurements and oil but unsure what to open to add oil. Help.

The amount of oil that goes in the forks of a 1982 Suzuki GS 750T will depend on the type of forks that are installed on the motorcycle. It is important to use the correct amount of oil to ensure that the forks are functioning properly.
If your Suzuki GS 750T has standard telescopic forks, you will need to add 10.8 ounces (320 mL) of fork oil to each fork. If your motorcycle has air-assisted forks, you will need to consult the owner's manual to determine the correct amount of oil to use.
To add oil to the forks, you will need to remove the fork caps and use a fork oil level gauge or a piece of wire to measure the amount of oil in the forks. If the oil level is too low, add oil until the forks are filled to the correct level. If the oil level is too high, remove excess oil until the forks are at the correct level.
I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

This is the answer by LostReader that I've found in Google:

I'm fairly certain the stock is 7.5 weight oil.

If starting fresh you'll need almost a quart for each fork, the correct amount isn't determined by volume, it's determined by measurement.





60 mm from the top, spacer installed, fork fully compressed. Or was that with spring installed....? maybe someone can confirm....

you need one of these to correctly measure fork oil.

On ebay you can get a service manual for cheap from a Canadian seller who ships worldwide.
cheers

OK officially you are supposed to measure oil height. Oil quantity is not quite right because you cannot measure the amount of oil remaining in the passages or on the walls. its only a little but to be correct set it at 110mm from the top, compressed, no spring.
if you don't have the tool and don't wanna try to do it properly, 300cc per fork.

Normally, the fork oil level is set with the spring out, and the fork fully compressed. Fill the fork to 110-120mm from the top.

The best way,is to drain a fork leg into a container, and measure the amount. however if you cant do that, start of with about 100ml in each leg, test them out, if to soft, you can always add a little more oil. from memory, a 250ml bottle of fork oil was enough to do both legs on most bikes.

Remove the small plugs at the bottom of each fork slider and drain the forks. Do this by working the forks up and down until the forks are empty. Then, refill the forks with the proper amount of oil. Since you are not disassembling the forks and cleaning them out, you should use the "wet" measure of oil instead of the "dry" measurement.

Since you didn't tell me exactly what year model 883 you have, if the fork tubes are 39mm tubes (measure the top tube) use the following amount of oil. I use 30 wt. fork oil. If this is too stiff, drop down to 20 weight.

883 Hugger --- 10.7 ounces
all others --- 9.0 ounces

That's the only ones I have information for at this time.

Here is a manual for your bike....search for English parts of it.....
http://safemanuals.com/user-guide-instructions-owner-manual/HUSQVARNA/CR%20125-_M

The manual has directions for taking out parts, putting in SAE 5 or SAE 7.5 fork oil, and then measuring the distance from the top of the fork tube to the top of the oil. It should be 3.5 inches. That doesn't sound right, but maybe that is with the forks compressed, the directions may be indicating that. You could judge by the amount you drained out of the forks. Here are the directions in the manual.......
OIL FORK LEVEL
For the regular fork operation,
both legs must be provided with
the necessary oil quantity.
Remove the forkrods from the
fork to check the oil level inside
the forkrods. Work as follows:
- remove the power rod caps;
- remove springs from the stems
letting the oil drop into the
latter;
- bring forks to stroke end;
- check that the level is at
distance “A” below the upper
limit of rods.
(distance A is 3.5 inches)

hi mate once the oil is drained you refill with 5w this is the standard oil and when you add the oil pump the dampers up and down until it stops squiling then you can fill it till it is 90mm/9cm from the top of the forks use a ruler and when it hit 9cm pump the forks then measure again if gotten lower top back up then screw the caps back on

normally they do need oil to operate but how noisy it is depends now.All front fork system has a spring mechanism in it and they do make a bit of noise when working.I suggest you open the top of the fork and check inside carefully if there is any oil with a dipstick or a long piece of metal rod.Else you will need to disassemble the whole forks.Hope this helps and please leave a rating.Thank you.

hi ya poor the oil in with the forks compresed right down . poor oil in until it is a 130 mm from the top
