KX125...do I have an A6 '80 or A7 '81 model?
« on: June 13, 2011, 10:10:16 PM »
Hey guys. I have picked up a KX125, and it is either an 1980 or 1981 A6 or A7.

My dilemma is - Which model is it??? It has no seat or tank (the seat is about the only way I can tell from the colour of the KX lettering!!)

I read somewhere that the 81 models had some "trick" alloy bits and maybe a frame gusset somewhere, but what were they exactly?

Please if any of you KX'perts can assist It would be appreciated!   :)

I to have a 125 but mine is an A6. We have previously covered this and it might be useful. Here's the link http://ozvmx.com/community/index.php?topic=15902.0

Is this the dirt cheap one from Epay?
My A7 has alloy footpegs. I don't know for sure, but I've always assumed they were one of the differences.

Does anyone out there have a tank to suit an 80 / 81 KX125 they are willing to sell?
