2003 RM125 gas mixture

[O3RM125]

Can anyone verify for me that the recommended mixture for this bike is 40:1 please?

Also, I was given about 2qts of Maxima superM premix oil from the previous owner, I am unsure how long it may have been sitting and the bottles are unsealed.. didnt want to mix it with a fresh 5 gal. of gas and have it be no good, does premix oil ever go bad from sitting too long?

One more thing while Im at it, is there a website I can buy a factory manual for this bike from? or do I need to go to the dealer for that?

Thanks for any replies.

I have an RM85L and it has a 32:1 ratio, just call your suzuki dealer and ask. I do not think that premix oil goes bad, I would not take a chance though.

The manual states 32:1 for that bike which is what we ran on ours without issue, I would think the premix is fine. Manuals you will need to get from the dealer usually although you can sometimes find guys selling them on CD's on E-Bay. If you happen to be French I'd be happy to send you the French manual for it as we get both when you buy a new bike in Canada and when we sold it the new owner only took the English manual.

One more question..

Could someone recommend an oil to use and what wt.?, engine/crankcase oil I mean. I used to use Castrol GTX 10-40 in my bikes in the late 80s but not sure if this is still suitable..

Damn I need a manual! :bang:

Thanks again!

10w-40 should be fine. I use 10w-30 in winter and Shell rotella 15W-40 in summer.....some people use ATF

there are 100's of posts all over the internet on this topic.....you can read for hours....

We ran whatever cheap 10-40 we could get and changed it every ride or two in my son's 03. If you get one that seems a bit finicky you could try ATF Type F as well.

You can find a Clymer manual on bikebandit.com. They have a link for bike manuals on the upper-right side of the page when you're looking at OEM parts schematics for your specific bike. It says "Need a manual" in blue writing. (that's the link)
