Title: MY TM125! :)
Post by: brad747 on March 24, 2008, 08:54:11 pm

Hey, Just thought i would show you guys my new bike, well new to me! I have wanted a tm125 for ages And Now I have my own!
The reason I wanted a tm125 so bad was my Dad had one when he raced as a kid!
I'm going to try my best to restore the old girl as it was 30 odd years ago!

I'm a bit jealous here Brad,

It's a bit better than mine at the moment and sadly mine will be staying that way for a while. :'(

By the way if you decide to convert yours to premix I'd love to get hold of the oil tank and associated parts ;D

Good find!

Brent

You are very lucky to find such a complete bike, most I have seen are usually missing the oil tank/airbox/inner fender/muffler/usable forks............................GOOD LUCK!! I'm still trying to put my three together after 15months

Great find Brad  :) that chamber looks like the factory special , they are different to the standard pipe , the kit pipe , the RM 125M pipe and the S pipe  :o They are rare i had one on my TM and they are way better than the standard pipe.
Dont use that standard muffler  ::)they reduce power by 2 hp Suzuki even tell you so in the owners manual. Put it aside in case you do a full on resto one day .
You can always go for factory graphics

That looks good, but a 72 tank on a 75 rm125 looks a tad odd!
