m0agi Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hi There I have a 2003 txt pro 125 for my lad and wish to replace the fork oil with new. I have read the posts on how to do the job and am quite confident about doing it as i have done his motocross bike several times. What i was wondering is do i need to fully dis-assemble the forks or just drain the old oil out and flush the legs out. If only flushing is required with what do i flush them with. I undersatnd i need to put in about 300cc of 5W fork oil, is this correct?? Any comments greatfully received. Thanks Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysv1k Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 i guess the consideration is whatever you flush them with has to be able to be fully removed, ie if water it can be dried or left to evaporate. How about flushing with the actual new fork oil, you need 600cc to fill them so use the spare 300cc to clean them out? only a suggestion, never tried it as to be honest it was easy to strip the internals out so flushed mine with water, forced a rag down the fork leg too to completely wipe it clean.
