I have ordered a couple new to me side panels and they should show up in the next week or so. Now I will be down to hunting for Graphics and a mud flap.
Ive taken on the task of rebuilding a 1986 KX125E. Follow along as I delve elbow deep into this greasy worn out mess of a bike.
If this is your first visit find the very first post in the archive and start reading there, it will make more sense.

Its Not done But it Runs!
I got the clutch all sorted out the other day and finally had a chance to put it all together ( thought that would have happened last Sunday.....Nope) so here are some photos of it and a short Vid of it starting.
The sound is not very good because I had supercross playing on the tv and it was louder than I thought. What I said at the beggining is that I was actually starting it for the second time but the first time was only 30 seconds before. It took 4 kicks for it to fire up and the carb is really close to where it needs to be.
Here is the link for vid. I started this project in August of 2011 so to this date it has taken 11 months.

Finally Clutch Problem resolved.
This is the concave washer. Its not a huge cup but it is there. |
I also purchased a new to me clutch basket that was in much better condition then the one that I had. As you can see in the photo the edges of the new basket have very little wear on them compared to the photo in the last post showing the old unit.
Ready to put the covers back on and fill with oil. |
