Front shock oil running all over

Unless you've had your front fork assembly serviced recently, I'd guess you've got blown oil seals in the top of the sliders on your forks. If someone serviced your forks lately, they may have put in too much oil and blown the seals. You'll have to drain the forks, disassemble the fork tube from the lower slider and replace the seal in each leaking tube. Refill the fork tube with the designated about of oil for a "dry" refill. Use this figure because the fork tube was disassembled. When you simply drain the forks without a disassembly, you cannot get all the oil out and the refill quantity is less.

Good Luck

The front forks go down to far on my fxst 2004 nightrain

If you are saying that your front suspension is too soft, you can change the fork oil in the front forks to a heavier viscosity. I think Harley recommends Type E fork oil. I've found that PJB 30 wt. fork oil works best for me.

Since I'm not familiar with the newer forks, I'll have to recommend that you ask the dealer how to drain and refill the forks and how much oil to put back in them. There are usually two amounts of oil to put in the forks. One amount is a "dry" amount to add when you disassemble the forks and then refill them. The "wet" amount is for when you simply drain the forks and then refill them. Naturally, the "wet" amount will be less than the "dry" amount.

Sorry I couldn't give you more information but my expertise is the earlier model Harley bikes.

Good Luck

TO REPLACE THE FRONT FORK OIL ....DO YOU DRAIN IT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE FORK....OR DO YOU NEED TO TAKE THE FORK APART?

You can get it out by removing the bolt(valve) in the bottom of the fork. However, this will not get it all out, so you won't know exactly how much you're putting in. Too little and it'll bottom out real easy. Too much and it'll be very stiff.

Of course, the best way is to totally disassemble and inspect the forks and set the oil amount by measuring the oil level in the fork. But, if you simply want to drain it out and replace it, catch all you drain out and put exactly that amount of new oil back in. This should get you very close, unless your forks have been leaking, then your level will be a little low.

Front suspension must be refilled with oil, how to do it?

There is a drain plug at the bottom of each fork. Just drain them and put the plugs back in then take the caps off the top of each and put in the propper amount of fork oil. You will need actual fork oil, so when you get it ask the shop how many cc's of oil to put in each fork.

KX 125 (2003) motorcycle

its 120 mm or 4.7 inches from the top of the fork
Some measure the oil quantity and fill the fork up, some fill the fork up and measure the oil level. The most correct method is to measure the level, I guess, but many guys measure in quantity.. both ways work well.
