RM125X -vs- RM125Z

Why does it have 18" of rear travel?

[color=green:be5ea]do you have the top out bumper mounted on the frame Alp? It looks like the rear end is sitting way high with alot of space between the wheel and the fender
You need a Tony D front fender on that bike[/color:be5ea]

My '83 is done!

Thanks to everyone that helped me on this project, it has been fun! Now it's time to ride it and get ready for the AHRMA National at Mid Ohio!

I always wondered what the Hell Suzuki was thinking when they made that front brake cable.[/quote:21b14]

Yeah.... I got roosted once (actually lots!!) on my RM and my front brake locked up halfway down a straight when a big rock hit the cable!!

[quote="PitRacer":d53ae]'83 project is coming along, still need a few odds and ends...

You and ThePipe make me sick, I'm gonna report you two in the morning, just watch and see....

Be careful almost every 81-83 rm 125 I have restored or Built engines for have bad CDI coils. If your bike starts hard acts like the jetting is bad fouls plugs or heat seizes pistons or just plain slow rebuild the stator.
Check with this company they have replacement CDI coils. Its cheap Insurance. http://www.electrosport.com

[color=#008040:6d061]For the longest time in 1982 I couldnt understand why my bikes seemed slow. Thought it was the smoother power of the new reed set up. I got it ported. And it was still the same. Then near the end of the season it stopped running and I traced it to the stator. I shit myself when I put the new stator on. A whole season of riding a dog.That bike ripped with the new stator.I I had a 82 Yamaha at least I could have been sure to have been riding a dog[/color:6d061]

[color=#408040:97b3f]thems tires and rims sure look good there[/color:97b3f]

Thanks for the tip on the stator. I've been riding the bike and tweaking it, actually found several wires in the stator area that would ground out and cause the motor to quit. I've got it running pretty solid right now, waiting for Boyesen Reeds, a new clutch, and some wide footpegs.

I put together a photo gallery for anyone interested:
