Picked up this 04 CR125 about 2 weeks ago for $600. Not too bad, but cylinder and piston are trashed. Picked it up just how it sits in the picture. Top end off, along with the radiator and pipe.
As of now, this is going to be a pretty much all out build. I will not be doing anything special, like one of parts or anything like that. But I do have a few things in mind to make it a nice looking bike and motor.
This will be a slow build over the next couple months as I am having ACL/meniscus surgery on Dec 20th. So I will have plenty of time to make this bike exactly how I want it.
Now the bike is in pieces, and I am starting the cleaning process. Starting with cleaning up the linkage and removing the casting marks.

Another clean Gen3 CR125 here: http://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/2003-CR-125-build-finshed…
Agree 100% on the unnecessary bad-rap these bikes got. With a little fine tuning, they're a blast!
I will cut the spokes out of the rims since they are all stuck together. Once apart, I will remove casting marks from the stock hubs.
Then I will sand blast the linkage pieces and triple clamps and polish the linkage. Then I will send out the triple clamps and hubs to get coated!
Also need to clean this nasty swing arm and bring it back to life!
Finished the linkage pieces today and got them back together so there are not bearings just laying around waiting to disappear lol. After thinking on the linkage pieces, I didn’t polish them. Instead left the dull look from the sand blasting. Just took a scrotch bright and wd40 to finish them off.
Got started on cleaning the frame and subframe. Still have a ways to go on the inside of the frame with all the little holes. But got the subframe back to life. Just need to finish off the frame cleaning and polish her up!
Pit Row
Surgery went good as far as what the doc said. But he did say it was worse then what they thought. Surgery was only supposed to be an hour or hour and a half. It was over 3 hours.
Thanks in advance!
Little update on the knee. Been using the knee machine for the last couple days and have the degrees up to about 70. And full range of motion is 120. So pretty pumped on that!
