it'll probably be hard to find a manual for that old a bike. i'd say get a measuring cup and drain all the fluid into it, recording how much came from each side. unless you had a severe seal leak it should be fairly close to how much you will want to replace in each side. just make sure if one has more than the other to go with the side that had more in it as your starting point. and also, make sure they are filled to the same level on each side.

Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions.
Yamaha made a DT100 - DT125 - DT175 in 1978 and every one has different forks.

Call your local Yamaha shop and get the exact specs. You may have to call a few before you find one with a manual that old in there service dept. but if you don't get it right you'll hurt yourself.
