KX250 1982

[Davey Crocket]

OK all you team green tragics, how much oil and what weight for the forks on a 1982 KX250, cheers in advance.

[SUZUKI311]

637ml per leg, 10w/20 according to my old book. i think modern 15wt would be the go.

Thanks again S311

Are you letting him work on your bike Brian?!

[foxy999]

 I know where he lives

Oil level 100mm from the top of the fork leg in the collapsed position with the springs removed. 15wt fork oil.
Works fine in my 82 KX250

Watch him Brian ... are you sure you can trust him to be working on your new green machine??

[holeshot buddy]

130mm from top oil level collapsed no springs
10 to 15 weight
can run up to 8psi in forks if there are jumps etc
standard springs a bit soft put a 19mm spacer in

I will say one thing, he does a very good job. He rebuilt our 77 cr 125 last year and and man it flys . No short cuts , he has all the contacts sorted.

Not having ridden this year at all, I'm desperate for a ride mate but I'm not sure i can swing it at the moment.  Catching up with the other TARTs tomorrow night so will see what we can organise.  Might bring the KDX/KX250 Hybrid out for a fang. 

Are you going both Sat and Sunday?

[foxy999]

Yep, all weekend.

If your coming Simo,I can bring that Honda shitbox for you.
