SOURCE: how much oil for 2003 yz 250f fork seals

3 Pints is average but you can adjust it to your riding style and weight. Stock oil height is around 130mm from top but you could set it around the 110 to 100 range for increased bottoming if you do a lot of big jumps ect.. 5w oil is the usual weight but fork oil goes up to 20w.

SOURCE: What are the specs for fork oil in a 99 YZ 125

Use a good quality 5Wt suspension oil (or 7Wt if you want more dampening but this will make it a little more stiff through the small stuff). With the springs removed, fill the forks to the top, cycle the damper rod up and down until it has consistant and firm resistance, top the fluid off to the top, lift the outer tube up about 6" then set it back down, top off, then let it sit until you see no more bubbles. Stroke the damper rod again to ensure there is no air and then **** out fluid until your level is between 110 and 150MM in each tube. Make sure each tube is filled to the same level. One quart per fork is enough to do the job but you might need three quarts to have both filled prior to sucking the excess back out. I usually start with three bottles.

For a firmer feel, use more oil (110MM). For a softer feel, use less fluid (150MM). This is measured from the top of each tube to the level of the oil. Just use a piece of clear tubing and an irrigation syringe - you can get one from a local animal vet. Just mark the tubing with a sharpie at the level you desire.

My standard setting was 135MM from the top using 7Wt oil. I am 160lbs and a mid pack A class rider using essentially stock valving with stock springs.

1976 Yamaha YZ 125 X how to replace the front fork seals

These are pretty easy if these are stock forks,,, you can actually do it without losing any for oil. I used to do it all the time in the dealership. DO NOT remove the fork caps yet,,just loosen the cap about 2 turns. Remove the forks from the bike, Secure them, one at a time in a vertical position, I had a LARGE vice sitting on the floor. You want to remove the cap now and hold onto the fork leg so it does not slide down real fast!!!! Ease it down until the spring shows, remove the spring almost all the way until all the oil drips off the spring, remove it and lay it somewhere clean. Slowly lower the leg into the slider, remove the seal protector, Look at the fork seal, there is a snap ring that holds the seal in, carefully remove it. Take a 4mm drill bit (.160"+-) and drill two holes in the top of the seal, 180 apart. I had a "hook" tool I used to work the seal out. Once its out, slide it up and over the tube, CLEAN the fork tube!! CAREFULLY oil the new seal and carefully work it over the tube, slide it into place and work it down, now with a FLAT drift tap a little at a time until you can install the snap ring fully seated!! Raise the tube, install the spring and cap. Once the tubes are installed in the triple clamps you can fully tighten the caps! Repeat for the other one and reinstall. TAKE YOUR TIME!!

What is the oil capacity in the front forks?

I believe the 2003 YZs were the single chamber design, therefore this answer is based on that assumption. The fill procedure for dual chamber forks is much different, but I think they twin chambers came in 2005.

Use a good quality 5Wt suspension oil (or 7Wt if you want more dampening but this will make it a little more stiff through the small stuff).

With the springs removed, fill the forks to the top, cycle the damper rod up and down until it has consistant and firm resistance, top the fluid off to the top, lift the outer tube up about 6" then set it back down, top off, then let it sit until you see no more bubbles. Stroke the damper rod again to ensure there is no air and then draw out fluid with an irrigation syringe (see below) until your level is between 110 and 150MM in each tube. Make sure each tube is filled to the same level. One quart per fork is enough to do the job but you might need three quarts to have both filled prior to sucking the excess back out. I usually start with three bottles.

For a firmer feel, use more oil (110MM). For a softer feel, use less fluid (150MM). This is measured from the top of each tube to the level of the oil.

Just use a piece of clear tubing and an irrigation syringe - you can get one from a local animal vet. Just mark the tubing with a sharpie at the level you desire.

My standard setting was 135MM from the top using 7Wt oil. I am 160lbs and a mid pack A class rider using essentially stock valving with stock springs racing MX in Virginia, North Carolina and sometimes Maryland.

I hope this has helped.
