Normal water pump issues, but a 81 alloy cover fits.

Tests in the day said they were peaky as hell.
Rear suspension was also sub-par, apparently - although I assume that modern tuning would make big improvements there.

NB: I haven't ridden one, so I'm just regurgitating what I've read.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

I remember mine as a good strong motor. Suspension was the weakest point. Not that bad and easily fixed these days. Good, typically well made Honda. I preferred it over the YZ125J back in the day.
