1996 RM 125 Questions - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Great site. I have used other forums (e.g. ThumperTalk and KTMTalk) and had hoped that there was one for Suzuki's.

Just purchased a 1996 RM 125 and have a couple of questions that I hope I can get answered since it will take a little while before I get the shop manual.

Does anyone know....

Stock fork oil level and is it measured with the springs out and the fork collapsed?

Stock Compression and rebound for forks and shocks?

Stock jetting?

Thanks very much.

Trying to get it back together by this weekend.

I thought Suzuki had gone back to the upside down forks by 1997 but I guess not.

Thanks again.
