Title: Another RM125 for me!
Post by: gerpster on March 15, 2008, 07:04:58 pm

I just bought this as a parts bike to go with RM125D in Brissy.    :o

Hopefully I can salvage some stuff off it. Thought it may be cheaper than shipping stuff in from the US. Am still missing the airbox!!!!    :-[

Ummm well I paid a bit more than what was on bid at the time but I think for what is there it's still a good price...mostly was after the suspension, wheels and engine bits..tank and forks look ok too.... ;)
Will be an interesting project..
First job is to actually get them here!!!    ::)

This one is a 125Z(1982)Many parts are interchangeable.Carby,radiator,  reed block,head, barrel can be used on D with only minor porting changes-(81-84 were all same bore and stroke),but81 and 84 were case reed induction,while 82 &83 were like the one in the picture.The centre cases on the 81,82 &83 are all different as the crankshafts are all different.The 83 was the first of the 125 RM's with compression adjustment on the reservoir.The 83 swingarm is longer than the Z swingarm but otherwise identical.Really there is no notable difference in the airboxes.The 83 chamber and silencer is different to the 81 &82 which were interchangeable-I learnt these things from doing a ground up resto and am happy to help with info and parts if I can.PM me .

I just noticed the 125D you bought has the twin leading shoe front end off the 250D on it-the 125D was single leading shoe,going to twin leading shoe only in 84 on the 125E. I have a correct 125D front end that has been rebuilt by Mr Pons-sell or swap? PM me if you like .Thanks,Bill.
