What did I just buy?

[Nathan S]

Old KX125

80 or 81 model?

I bought it with the intention of combining it with my KDX175 and making a better KDX175, but have already started thinking of different options...

[All Things 414]

Another head-ache I'd be thinking...... :'(

[YZ250H]

I'd say you just bought a bargain - even if it is GREEN 

[facthunt]

Hey Nathan, I think I have a gearbox for one of those.

[Nathan S]

Kurt, I think I love you. 

Will call tomorrow.

Nathan,
I have a T&T test of the '81 125's, yours if you want.......sorry, but it doesn't make for very good reading on the KX.

[Nathan S]

Yeah, I know they're not great bikes - slow and the suspension doesn't work all that well (and the frames break, although I assume that T&T didn't know that back then).

Having said that: Yes, I'd love to see the test.


Kurt, have lost your phone number. Can you please send me a message with it?

[oldyzman]

Congrats  Nathan,
I saw that buy it now for ... I just dont have the head space or garage space as i am moving to a smaller house...
Cheers Brett

They did mention frame breakages on the '80 models.
P.M. me your address and I'll pop it in the mail.

[Nathan S]

So, I got it today. Not as scary as I thought: Its all there exept the side covers & kick start lever.

Sleeved barrel is on a small oversize.
All of the rocker bearings and the shock are trashed - this is the scariest bit.
Forks are excellent.
Seat recently recovered.
Plastics are painted.
Etc.

In other news, the KDX175 frame that also turned up today is a cracker, with excellent side panel and rear guard. This has re-sparked my interest in the KDX175, and killed off the idea of combining it with te KX125.

So the KX is another project bike... (GMC: I know, I know....).
