    Hi Folks,
    I just bought a 2012 WR125 to replace my 2008 WR125...
    The forks are obviously different but i can't seem to get any set-up info on them
    (my memory stick manual doesn't open!)

    The suspension is very different to my old bike! the forks are hard as rock while the rear shock is like a pogo stick! But to be fair i haven't yet set it up...

    I've been advised to change the fork oil to 5 weight but when i drained the old oil out i found one fork leg had about 200ml while the other was almost empty!!

    So.... to my question at last...

    Can anyone tell me how much Fork oil to put in them...?


    Many thanks

    Ok i think i've figured it out...
    I've got to measure the air gap and that tells me how much oil to put in....
    Phew, that was hard work!

    ah, yer on it. and measure your fork OAL too..(overall lentgh) deduce your projection above the top clamp from there (rarely equal) so the axle goes in easy and your forks aitn sticky. makes a big dif. set that sag man...then the clickers. Huksy AU should have downloads on the clicker settings etc. i think HvNA does too?

    I like the 45mm MZ forks on my 08 better than '11 310

    How many bikes you got ? - I can see 5

    Thanks guys, yes i wanna get the fork oil right then mess about with the settings... I'm just amazed that the suspension is so far out on this new bike! my last 3 Huskies have been almost perfect straight out the box!! - just a few clicks this way or that and they worked perfectly!

    And Rockdancer, they're not all my bikes. I share the workshop with some Supermoto guys (space ain't cheap here in London!!) But the rest of my bikes are at an even more secret location... But to answer the question...15 bikes (only 6 of em Huskies) so yes - I'm busy fixing somthing I've broken on one or the other of them almost all the time! :(

    Cheers guys
