I have both of the aforementioned bikes. I need to put new fork seals in the 125 but don't have the correct manual for that bike. I do have the manual for the 250. I know they are both showa forks but they do appear a tad different down toward where inner and outer tubes meet.

My question is will the 07 RM 250 manual be close enough to use on the 03 125's forks. I'm mainly wanting to know the oil capacities for the 125. I've done the 250's forks a couple times and i'm familiar with how to do that one and I know that I have to add oil in two different steps. Is the 03 125 gonna be the same and do they hold the same amount of fork oil?

If someone has a correct year manual could you give me the correct amount of oil to use.

Thanks,

Gerald

I have a manual for an 01 which also has twin chambers. It says 115 to 120 mm from the top for the inner chamber and 390 ml for amount in the outer tube. Note...My 06 250 manual has 350ml for the outer. Both the 125 and 250 give the measurement for "stock springs"
