Plastics as always are the big ticket stuff other than than fastidiously maintain the KIPS mechanism if it has one.

They were supposed to be the best 125 in '88. One of the few Kawasakis I'd be happy to own.

I know this doesn't add a real lot of value to the thread, but the local bike shop guy services one, and more than once, he's complained about difficulties in finding parts - even basic stuff like air-filter elements...

DON'T GIVE UP !!!! just when things look bleak and every bolt you undo reveals one more thing that needs fixing you find something good, whether its a bargain part from ebay or a lucky find at the wreckers. Give yourself the appropriate amount of time for every part or detail you want to achieve, I bought a 1981 YZ465 stripped it down to restore for racing and it took over a year to get it to this state
