Aprilia RS 125 2 Stroke - Front Suspension Fork Service

Hi, you're watching Tom Did It.
Here I’ll be showing you how I service the front suspension forks on the Aprilia RS 125 2 stroke. I drain the fluid and dismantle the forks. Then I replace the dust and oil seals. Finally I mix the correct fork oil to make 10W, refill the forks and install them back on the bike.
The main parts I used can be found here.

    Thanks for the video Tom. Another superb video of a job properly done. I like the way you show us all the details in a professional manner with many extra tips like putting a cloth over the alloy fork caps. I bought a motorcycle Lift stand from a different vendor to save some money and it backfired big time. They sent the wrong jack and now refuse to exhange it for the correct one. The quality is terrible with lots of play in the bushes. BEWARE everyone, only buy from a reputable dealer. I will buy from the one you recommend if I get a refund.

    nicely explained Tom, you can also just use the calculator and do, 440 - 67% and it will give you the value, then press = and it automatically gives the 33%, another tip if you dont mind, instead of eyeballing the measurements of oil, use some kitchen scales, you will find a ml is the same weight as a gram, very precise way to measure oils.

    From what I can tell. The correct weight of oil to use, is not the size of the bike. Or the weight of the rider. It is the temperature of the country that you live in. I had this problem trying to work out what oil to use in my forks, Scott

    You could of just seated the fork oil seal first with a socket (gentle taps work fine) ensuring its past the retain clip groove, seat the retainer clip in its groove then insert the stanchion. No need to use an oil seal driver kit with these forks. Apart from that good how to video

    Any chance you can provide measurements of the fork bushings? AF1 Racing is telling me they should be changed with the form maintenance but they have been discontinued in North America. I see they are still available in Europe but cost about 5x normal now. I am looking for aftermarket replacements but need the measurements.

    another great video Tom - Can the oil seal go in the wrong way? it was hard to go in one way, the other I could seat it with my fingers. Also im struggling to get the dust cover back on - should I use a seal ram thing you have? No way can I just clip the dust seal in like you did?
