I've just bought a 2001 nsr 125 and the front suspension is sagging so i've bought some new oil but as the suspension does not currently have the correct amount of oil in it i am unsure how much to put in. does anybody know how much oil should be used? Any help would be appreciated as i am a new rider. Very Happy

which oil have you got ? honda recommand ATF10 , but for me it's too soft , better ATF15 or ATF20 . the quantity is 280 cc each .

Not too sure, went to my local shop and bought some Fuchs SAE 10W. I asked the person behind the counter and he said that 10 weight was the usual for nsr's but sadly i forgot to ask him how much oil to put in.

280cc, or 13cm from the top of the fork tubes to the top of the oil level. Remember to fill it with the springs OUT. To stiffen the forks up put a bit more fluid in at a time until you are happy, you can also increase the preload by using coins as spacers.
