MX125B Project

[TM BILL]

I fitted a DT 175 top end to an MX 125 bottom end and a GMC YZ 125 chamber and 34 mm carb and it hauled .

Forget the stock pipe ( very restrictive ) and get a GMC pipe ( order it now for Xmas  ) they really make a huge difference .

Thanks for all the Info everyone, I think I will rebuild it as the 125, stock pipe....for now. And fit the 35mm  forks off of the Carabella Just in case I am forced to race it in Vintage. I have a slew of newer yamaha front hubs and spokes.



Are these forks overkill or not?  And are they Betor or Ceriani?

The forks are Mexican Betor Ceriani knock offs. They came on Coopers and Carabelas and some Can-Ams . They're externally the same as Cerianis and slightly different to Spanish Betors internally....more like Cerianis. I've got them on my Hindall Ducati and Jonesy's got them on Black Betty.......good forks. However, why chop up a rare Carabela for a set of forks. You can get 34mm Yamaha forks off everything from DT1 to DT400 and all 250's and open classers in between. They bolt straight into the MX125. You'll probably have some serious fabrication to mount the Betors. Better to go with your original idea and keep it stock until the girls show that they might want to race.
