Coming off of an xr75, I wanted something bigger, I searched craigslist night and day, and finally, one day at school, I found a very reasonable deal on a 94 rm125. I immediately jumped on it. Brought it home, and loved it.
A month later, I decided it was time to get it good looking, heres my rebuild proces...
BEFORE...
DURING...
AFTER...
first off, i replaced the clutch basket and plates, then all the levers and cables, used gasket remover and a scotch-brite pad (a very strong acid) to get all the crap off of my plastics, took the motor out, checked it out, put in some boysen reeds, twinair air filter, fmf gold series fatty and an fmf powercore silencer. then threw in a wiseco piston and ring (huge difference). new rear tire to get all that new power to the ground, now all i need is a new gripper seat cover because when i do wheelies on the seat my foot slips off the leather, and rear fender for appearance purposes, then hopefully someone will buy it, then i will buy a blaster, restore that, then sell it, and buy an rm250
