Hey Stan. I like it a lot! How come I have to pay through the nose for everything?  :-\

That was a nice KX Jason. I never realized how much the '79 looked like its bigger brothers. And that little RM is very nice Doc..... ;)

I am coming to the realization that old Jap stuff is as much a pain in the arse as my Monties. Example? I can still buy gaskets for a bike that they only produced 337 of in 1980
(VF 414) but I cant get gaskets for a bike that they produced about 10 zilliion of in 1982 (YZ 80 J) >:( ??? ::)

No photoshop (as I wouldn't know how anyway) it is fitted with a CR125M or M1 engine, beleive it or not.
Actually "fitted" is being very kind to ever put that engine in, butchered would be more acurate. In saying that the guy that gave it to me said it was a good goer when he first got it. My problem is I would like to know what model CR125M that the engine is out of. Can anyone tell me an easy way to tell as the engine number is only partially there thanks to some chain damage. It starts with CR125. Bike is an YZ80F I think. Frame number starts with 2X6.

Stan.

Take the head off, count the ports. 8 ports = CR125M, 9 ports = CR125M1.

Thanks bigk, If you count the bridged inlet port as 2 and the bridged exhaust port as 2 then add the 4 transfer ports = 8. So It must be a CR125M?

WTF? Who are you and what have you done with the real Ross Nimmo?
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Can`t handle the grunt Hoony,
                                          that crash at Wonthaggi was a result of the first time the Nimmo grabbed 3rd gear and look what happened. He could be scarred for ever.  :)
