Seals for that type of cooling system are rare and expensive for the 81 125. If the frame is not rotted, a by pass could be done to get away from the stem routed cooling setup.
That bike was only a busted front wheel away from the 250 National Championship in 1982.
Just took a look at the parts diagram. The coolant routes through the stem on that bike. Seals are tough to find.

Ideally, I'd like an 87 Rm. As a kid I had an 87 rm80. It was my favorite bike. Although I'm too big for an 80, an RM125 would still bring me back to that time period. I'll keep my eyes open.
Thanks for the feedback.

Ricky Johnson rode an almost stock 1982 YZ250 and just missed being 250 National champ. Only a brroken wheel in the last moto of the season cost him the title.
Hannah hated the water cooled OW125, and moved to Honda for 1983.
