Got back today at 6pm after leaving at 10am to go get this 125m that I found on craigslist for parts, guy said that his kid was riding it and it was making the sound that ice Cubes in a blender makes and then just stopped moving and he couldnt get it into any gear.

I have my 125m that threw the chain threw the cases, so I had a good tranny. Off I went to get it, when I got there it was in the back of the shed, he dragged it out and it started 1st pull, I tried shifting it between H and L and that felt fine, and tried shifting it threw the gears which also felt fine.

Got it home and pulled it out of the truck, pulled the chain cover off and found the chain just chilling on the bottom. Then I got looking at the rear carrier and saw that there was no chain adjuster, looked a little more and saw that out of the 4 bolts that hold the carrier to the frame, 3 where gone and the one that was in there was loose.

Swapped 3 bolts and the chain adjuster off my old machine to this one and took it for a nice ride, motor is sound and tranny is perfect, guess its not a parts machine anymore.shens And he also gave me a new battery and tube for one of the tires. Im going to swap my plastics, racks and tires to this one and part the other.

Put the rear end together last night and went for a ride, it runs great and shifts threw all gears. Only problem that I see is that when shifiting threw gears riding sometimes it will go in between a gear like when shifting from 2-3 it will get inbetween them. But it wont pop out of a gear.
