1987 suzuki rm 125 HOW MUCH OIL???!!! HELP

[cms10balla]

have a 87 suzuki rm 125 and i dont have a book for it nor can i find how much oil or what kind of oil you use for it.. not to mix but to put in the clutch casing... if anyone can tell me what kind of oil i use and how much id greatly appreciate it

Bel-Ray Gear Saver in 80 WT is a safe bet.Look on the case next to the fill and it should be imprinted on the case.Or does it have a dipstick or level screw?Start with 500CC and check the stick.If it has a level screw remove the screw and slowly pour oil into the fill until it begins to run out of the screw hole.Or if it has a dipstick ad 100CC at a time until it is OK on the stick.

it doesnt have a dipstick or a peep hole so im confused on how to tell how much goes in it...

Man I looked around on the 'net and found zip.You tried calling the local Suzuki dealer?

i know i cant find anything and i havent found anything and dont have a manual.. and they wont tell me anything they want me to bring it in for them to look at... its ridiculous-_-

i went and looked on it and it says 950ML but how can i determine what 950ml is?

 

[IndyMX]

950ML = 950CC (32.123 ounces) or 50 ML less than a liter

errrr.. just dump a quart in and call it a day.

thanks alot man

 

[IndyMX]

No problem.

 

[cms10balla]

now do you have any idea on what oil i should use?

Personally, I use Shell Rotella-T 15w40. I've been running it in all of our bikes, with no ill effects.

It's 11.99 per gallon at most Autoparts stores around here, you can even get it at Walmart.

I'm sure there will be many people on here that will tell you only to run the $10 per quart stuff from the dealer, and that's fine if you really feel the need to spend that much on oil. But, I'm guessing you aren't going to be doing any serious racing, so I doubt you really need the highest performance oil.

Rotella-T is a good quality oil. I ran it for many years in my truck. And in that application, we only did oil changes every 15,000 miles. If it can handle that, it'll be just fine in your bike every 3 to 4 rides.

Yeah I run Rotella T in my YZ465.Works great.In fact the clutch seems to really like it over Gear Saver.Cheap too.
