Is anyone reproducing these? I assume not since the replacement Maier fenders eliminated the rear storage compartment.
A good friend of mine picked up an 85 125M thats in pretty nice shape, one small crack in the fender by the back corner of the seat, small enough i think i will plastic weld it from the bottom just to keep it from spreading and call it good. Other than that its basically 90% original and there, its missing only a few things.
Battery Hold Down
Trunk Lid
Clutch Adjuster Cover
It only needs a few minor repairs, the rear hand brake cable is seized up, the foot brake works fine but needs a little adjustment, and there is an oil leak at the clutch adjuster, suspect the o-ring behind the washer is shot as the oil comes out at the bottom of the washer and trickles down the case. Should be an easy fix, i have to pull the right cover and put in a new gasket when i service it, clean the oil screen and just clean and inspect everything. So far i took it for a little spin and it runs perfect, one pull start and idles smooth as silk. The shifting is ok, a little loose, but someone adjusted the clutch and left the adjuster nut loose so it backed off on its own, a quick adjustment fixed that up, which is how i found out the o-ring was bad when i tightened the nut and it wouldn't stop leaking on my boot and the footpeg.. LOL
Other than that physical condition is great, some small defects to the seat cover but thats about it.
Here is some pictures... Ignore the date on the pictures, camera had a brain fart.
