The TC should be the same piston as the TS. I'm surprised they would have different part numbers.
The difference between the TC and TS was that the TC had a dual range gearbox. Different color scheme, too.
The TM125 would be a different piston than either TS or TC.
FWIW, I used to have a '73 TC100.

Here is a link to scans of the sales brochures for the TC and TS.

Looks like the TC's came from the factory with the dual range gear box.

For a straight trail bike, no racing. That was 1 of, and may still be the best trail bike ever, imo. The dual range tranny was awesome! Vintage Bob

The 100 and 125 had the down pipes. The 185 and 90 had an up pipe.
Never got to ride a TC185, but I'll bet that was the best of the TS/TC line.

Dave,
It's obvious that somehow my local dealer screwed up. I was second owner of the bike, the previous owner didn't like it and sold it to me after just a couple of months. When I got it plated it was listed as a TS125. The owners manual also was for a TS125. If I dig around I bet I can find the manual and papers. Being young I never really made the connection that it was wrong. Looking at the brochures I most definitely had a "TC" 125 and not the TS.

Mully,
I'll bet you have many fond memories of the old Suzuki.
My TC was my first bike, and we went through alot together.
Paid $280 for it in '76. The stock shocks had already been replace, the street equipment was in a box and seller had put knobbies on. Low miles, good paint, no dents in the tank.
I put on Preston Petty fenders and grips and was good to go. Rode it for about 3 years with little more than gas and oil as far as maintenance. The forks sure did not like landing from jumps, lol.
