Message: [QUOTE="akagalford, post: 1397822, member: 120192"] So end of last season I picked up a KX125 not running of course as a project to fix up. Previous owner said it was in an accident that crushed the exhaust pipe and said just needed a new one to get it running again. What a load of crap.... So the positive side: It was pitched as a 1996 KX125, turns out after a VIN check its actually a 1998 + for me. Did get it for $325 but even at that price wasn't really a deal now that I'm looking back on how much work it really needs to get running again. On the bad side: Was missing or had a bunch of improper bolts/misc parts missing, had to buy a new expansion chamber pipe, new tires, levers, handle bars, fork rebuild kit, etc, etc. Put everything together today to do a running test and go to kick it and it has no resistance.... Uh-oh.... Pull the plug and put my finger on the spark plug hole and give it a kick, sure enough no compression. AHH @#$#@%^$#^#! :bang: So now I have a top end to fix along with everything else... gonna have more into this bike than its worth now, and to top it off I bought it originally for the wife only to find out its way to tall for her so I have to get rid of it in the end. So, anyone have recommendations on where to have a cylinder bored and possibly sleeved? Its looking like it may needed it. [/QUOTE]
