Loving all the 125 builds going up so here is the start of mine. I picked this up not too long ago for a great price. After a little tlc, she is (safely) rideable. It needs a strip down, good clean, and fresh coat to the frame. I like the gun metal stock frame paint color but, throw me some options or ideas? Looking for some black rims/blue hubs. Exhaust has a good ding and the silencer bolt mount is broke which wont hold much longer. Going to go with the carbon fiber pro circuit silencer and Id like to find a works pro circuit pipe for it. Anyone know where I can get my hands on one? This will be a slower build due to having too many toys but it sure has my attention at the moment. Shoot me some ideas and other kx builds you all have done. Thanks!

And some works pipe inspiration.

I shall give you a pleasant holiday surprise. You have a 2004 + KX125. The best sign is the black dot on the swingarm that the 2003s do not have. The linkage had a big change that year. Also, the front brake routing. Also, the tenth digit of a VIN is the year code, so you may want to check that out.
I want to say that is 2004 due to the color of the ignition cover. My 2005 is a bit darker. That was one of several 2004 - 2005 changes.
Cool bike! Take it to Sand Mountain MX or Mclarty MX!
03 had the kyb rubber bumper forks and the 04 got the kyb bladder forks. Also different triple clamps along with foot pegs raised 5mm. Also the front brake line routing and guards. Taller seat foam.
Only changes 05 had was graphics taller seat foam again darker coating on clutch and ignition covers and triple clamps. Along with a unmentioned change to the left center case. The bearing the one shaft for the transmission got a better oil groove/channel done.
If you try to buy center cases the part number is now super seceeded to the 05 number.
I had the unfortunate experience with my 04 and that bearing exploding. It's the same shaft the clutch push rod runs through.
The lower bearing in the shock mounting wears out quick it's hidden behind the spacers.

The 2008 KX125 has the same part as the 2007 KX250. I think 2006 - 2008 (KX125 and KX250) have a different part. (-0020)
