Hello.
Sorry, your 82 seals are a 1 year only item.
81 KX125 fork seal size: 38MM X 50MM X 10.5
82 KX125 fork seal size: 41MM X 53MM X 10.5
83 KX125 fork seal size: 43MM X 55MM X 9.5/10.5/11
If you go to youtube.com and do a fork seal replacement search you will find many video's.

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Just another thought.
Measure your chrome tube diameter.
If it's 41mm then my above statement is good.
If it is a different diameter, let me know.

Thanks for the information.Your help is appreciated. You are right, measured with a micrometer and your right 41mm . Are seals hard to replace ?
