Title: Brought this home today
Post by: pecrazy on September 13, 2014, 06:16:40 pm
A diamond in the rough, 81 RM125, feels like it has reasonable compression but has no spark. Needs the full treatment, PE almost done so roll one out and the other straight in.(http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah196/plymoth1/87018c2a-be43-4ec9-a588-41e18c9bf6e5_zps4db1d6f9.jpg) (http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/plymoth1/media/87018c2a-be43-4ec9-a588-41e18c9bf6e5_zps4db1d6f9.jpg.html)

  Front forks a immediate giveaway plus the struts and reed valve engine.

Yellow fork legs, blue seat and alloy struts on rear suspension. You'll find there are some other minor differences not visible to the naked eye, most importantly in the rear suspension area.

Is this how you slow done your compeditors or the kids?  Found this when I was making one good pipe out of two, yes it is a bearing wedged in tight, looks to have been in there for a while.(http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah196/plymoth1/IMG_1610_zps4ba8408a.jpg) (http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/plymoth1/media/IMG_1610_zps4ba8408a.jpg.html)

Can you imagine trying to work out why your freshly rebuilt motor wouldn't pull the hat of your head.

Muffler bearing, I heard most models have them.

I can see the problem.... the bearing is dry.  I would replace it with a Timken or similar quality muffler bearing.  I believe there is a mod on the internet somewhere that suggests using a bearing with a larger inner diameter to help flow. 
Cheers,

It's a design to make the noise level a bit more bearable  ;)
