The big end seized and the previous owner had an RM100 as a bitsa and used the crank and top end into the 125 cases.
I have all the original bits,just need to rebuild the 125 crank and re-fit to bring it back to a 125 (one day)
cheers...mario

I am working on 125C I scored for $400 the other day, motor is original bore and looks good, the rest arrived in bits.

Post by: monaro308 on December 30, 2009, 09:50:07 am: Hi loydee,the shocks came on the bike.They are dual rate spring MDI brand and measure 398/400mm eye to eye.
As marcfx said you will need around 15.5 or 390-400mm and if running the body at the top you will need shocks with the extended mounts at the bottom to clear the s/arm.
I just measured my rm100x shocks at 367mm and the rm125c shocks at 372mm.
I wouldnt mind putting original T shocks back in mine if i can find a decent set.
I tried my C shocks but yeah too short and the bottom shock spring end hits.
