I found all the bearings at the local bearing shop along with the seals. The bushes, collars etc were all still available from Yamaha a couple of months back (unless I got the last ones)

You could try here for a complete kit. Excellent value if they have a kit to suit the 125.

When you ring, they can't get them anymore but will order them from Yamaha for you, you can just do that yourself here and dodge the woefull service you get frrom XYZ

All balls is the way to go.  Very cheap and seem to do the job.  Partsfixation on Ebay.  Make contact and he will organise it all for you.  Unless you want to give your arm and leg away ::)
Genuine Yamaha for YZ250H close to $300.  All Balls was about $60 US from memory.   I was prepared to take the gamble - how about you ???.  Along with E74 I have heard heaps of bad stories about XYZ.  He would know better than I would.
Just a suggestion - at the end of the day it's up to you

XYZ's Kit he advertises is too suit a 250 465 and they are different to the 125. He is a very small shop and has bitten off a little more than he can chew being so small..  :-\ 
 His people that make his swing arm kits F@!$ed him around with making enough stock.. so that f$#k around was passed onto customers! He is getting more kits in as they are being done as we speak.
I Had no problems dealing with him, but maybe i won the jackpot and was lucky ..
 I got alot of parts from Partsfixation for a few bikes and they were great, but i dont think ALLBALLS make a swing arm rebuild kit for the 125f.. If they do i want one!

Have a chat to him.  I can dig out his email if you want or just find it on Ebay.  I would say he would make the kit you guys are after.  He is very helpful.

All Balls is good stuff - have had a bit of their gear - can recommend it.
