125-200cc what is the recomended fork oil nr for a 125 2002?

Hi
I just blew out a fork seal and it was immediately a messy sight.

having the seals on the shelf the question i should ask myself earlier is about the oil

looking in the search section it doesn't give me the answer and the parts manual only give me a husky order nr but not the oil weight nr for the fork oil.

any help to find the answer is highly appreciated

I use 5wt with the oil height at 100mm for moto, and 110mm for woods, measuered with fork spring uninstalled and fork fully compressed. I use Honda fork oil because I can allways get it
and its consistant so you don't have to change your settings every time you service your
fork.

thanks for you response

not having the experience with suspension overhauling (only played with settings)
what exactly do you mean with the oil height?

I would think more in the line of volume with oil?

With the cap off and the spring out and the fork completely compressed, measure distance from fork top to oil level. volume can vary depending on how well the fork drained.

that works with open chamber forks... are your forks open, or closed chamber?

Just because you have a WR, doesn't mean they are one or the other... Husky sent out WR's with both open and closed.

In 02 you have 45mm open forks. stock husky recommended 7.5 wt, but oils all labeled the same IE. "5 wt" or "10 wt" all vary significantly in cold and warm performance, so much so that one brands "5wt" may be the same as another brands "10 wt". Whatever brand you choose, be sure to change it in both legs.
