Dtr 125 1997 Rebuild/Restoration

Putting washers or spacers in the forks doesn’t make them harder. It just pre-compresses the springs. Heavier oil will change the dampening, but also won’t make the suspension harder…
I spent £100 on (progressive) aftermarket springs. They’ve changed the whole feel of the bike for the better. I’m not doing air with it though It’s aimed at road use mainly, a lot more stable at speed…

@SpookDog i just got new front fork from my uncle. He had a yamaha dt 125 back in the day, but i dont know witch year. il send a pic of them soon. The fork has adjustability settings on top and also bottom. They need a oil change but should be good for replacement front forks.

Well, that's no excuse. Look at what @SpookDog has achieved out in the exposed elements. In the brevity of dry spells he's out there smashing a restoration!
Anything is possible.
That said, unless it really needs it, you'd probably get away with just waiting.

Quickly?! …
I’m sorry but I don’t remember where you are in the world, Eastern Europe?
Metal does strange things at those temperatures. You can shatter it like glass if you’re not careful. You can absolutely guarantee that a spanner will slip and you’ll skin your knuckles!…
