Amount of oil in each front fork? 1992 Yamaha DT50R.
Does anyone know how much oil to add to the front forks on this bike?

Take springs out and collapse suspension. Put in enough to cover damper rod would be a good starting point.

According to the Motul oil adviser, each fork leg needs 0.22 liters of 10W oil.

I'm a bit sceptical to that advisor. It shows totally wrong amount for the gear oil.

I am amazed anyone here knows this for a DT50R... I tried to buy one (an MX model) once back in 1991, it was an early 80s 'thing' and was in a scrapyard in the uk... that was the last (and worst) DT50 Ive seen... :/
Joking aside tho, you may well be better to locate a forum for mopeds, I thought there was a few northern Eu (Sweden based?) forums for small bikes, failing that the Dutch had a lot of Brommers back in the day... I had MT5 and MB50 and TS50 back in the mid 80s when i was a lad and a friend had a new (83) DT, it was wonderful compared to our old bikes... Anyway... just trying to help, not scare you off.

I've had two of these before so I remember most of the tech stuff. Including everything that fails on these. :P Just forgot about the fork oil since I've only done an overhaul once on this model.
