6/25/2024 2:00pm This is my second bike it is a 99 KX125. The person I got the bike from I guess had given the bike to a local shop for a tune up and some repairs and then defaulted on payment so they gave his back completely disassembled, essentially a frame with 2 boxes of parts and a motor torn down to...
