advice needed on NSR 125 fork springs

[jimmyjaffa]

Hi all, I have a Nsr 125 and I am finding the forks to be bottoming out when I brake due to me being a 20 stone fatty. I hear what ur saying poor NSR. Any way the forks are beginning to leak and require new seals. So I am wondering if there are any stiffer springs I can fit to make the front end to go along with some 20w oil. Thanks for any advice, cheers Jaffa

Get some progressive fork springs mate. (Bout £90-£100)

Cheers for the reply, I also need to get the seals. My bike is a 99, would these fit?

Right, its only everywhere i have been they say the size i want are 35 x 47 x 7.5.

My Bad,, i thought yours was the cg125.. Sorry,
(see my link)

Well according to my records i have 35 x 48 x 11 mm

1997-2004 models.
Honda NSR 125 R1 R2 R3/R4 2001-2004
Honda NSR 125 RR/RS 94-96
Honda NSR 125 RV/RW/RX/RY 97-00

35mm is the internal (hole)
48 is the external size
11mm is the height

There does seem to be a couple of sizes.. If i had them here i would use my digital calipers and measure the old ones.
Give the seller in your 1st link a PM to clarify they will fit your bike.
You have the right internal so thats ok,+/- 1mm on the external not a problem, its just the height. 3.5mm either way.. And you need it correct or your snap ring wont go in.

Hope that helps mate.
