Caps, bloody lovely looking YZ-E. Where did you get the sidecovers and who did the seat cover for you?

The 125E is a bloody good bike.
Its just a shame that they've got to compete against the 1980+ models in the Evo class, which puts them at a definite disadvatage in terms of suspension travel. If they'd been released as a 77 model, they'd be unbeatable (although, I 'spose that's true of a lot of bikes... at least in this case, its only a minor revision of the actual 77 model).



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

The release date of the YZ125E may be October 1977 but it's the factory designated 1978 model and therefore not legal for pre 78.

There's LOTS of little differences between the D and E, but the only obvious performance bit is the alloy swing arm.

If someone turned up at a race meet on an E with a D swing arm and called it a pre-78 bike, it wouldn't offend me in the slightest.

I've raced mine once, and will do again - but who knows when that will be. Can't say that I recall seeing any others racing in NSW.

I found a frame,engine,forks,seat at a swap meet going cheap and was originally going to use it as spares for my 125D but since then Ive transferred stuff from the D onto the E and am racing that in QVMX.Nathan does yours need an airbox I didnt see one in the photos.Ive got one I think if you do.The only other difference(I think one of you guys told me)besides the swingarm are the chain roller placements on the frame and a 180 main jet instead of a 170.
