Build thread for my recently purchased 02 RM125, I had one of these when I started MX at the age of 17, now 36 and had many bikes inbetween (Honda CRF450, Yahama 250f, KTM250sxf, Ktm450sxf) it was time to go back to where I stared and build a 125 for some fun!
I've just sold my KTM450 SXF as it was a bit savage for me as I don't get to ride much due to a young family
Bought from a FB group with lots of spares/receipts with a fresh crank/piston and gearbox rebuild

Might try and find a set of these decals and do a sort of replica of it
Looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for your RM, first thing I'd do is bolt on a case saver!
Lol... was that an airbox or a tool box?
So plans so far are to powder coat the frame black, new bearings throughout
Polish the swing arm and give it a general clean up and see what happens!
I'll be doing some research on upgrades during the build but understand the front brake is a good place to start
Any suggestions welcome!
In terms of Graphics/Plastics, I would highly recommend giving Ryan Watson at Watson Decals a call. He did a full custom graphics kit, including plastics and fitting for my RMZ450 and did a fantastic job. If you sent him this pic and maybe a few more he would be able to replicate it.
Yuk! New bearings please!
Ready for powercoat, suspension will be going for a service/seals and new spring/powder coating

Just gota do the lower to match now and it will look awesome.
This will be a budget build so don't expect Ti hardware and A kit forks etc! but I'll try and make a tidy usable bike to the best of my ability

Forks/Rear shock have gone for a full service/seals/bump stop
More to follow soon!!

You could get it a bit better by using a polishing wheel for that mirror finish, I have one to hand at my other workshop so will give it a try and get them gleaming!
Next up is a frame repair then it's off to powdercoat
Proper build not just buying new parts...and call that a build
