Hi all,
this is a general thread to list the differences between the 84-85 110 and the 84-85 125m as a general reference for anyone looking to do an upgrade. I bought a 125m motor to upgrade my trike a bit and ran across quite a few differences. I assumed the bike just used a stroked version of the 110.
You can modify the intake from the 110 to accept the 125m bolt pattern. Even though they look the same they are slightly off. Regardless, the modification is useless as the intake will not fit back into the 110 frame. This leads me to believe that either the jug sits at a different angle, or the intake on the head is located in a different location. the 125m also uses the same engine mounts in the rear and a different front engine mount. Note: Although the front engine mount is a different part number, my 125m motor bolted into the 110 engine mounts with no changes.
the 1984 125m is a downshift model. the 1985 110 is an upshift model. 4 gears for both
the carburetor appears to be the same for the exception of the jets. A carb rebuild kit for the 125m will upgrade the 110 carb.
The 1984 125m has a different rectifier than the 1985 125m. One has 4 wires, other has 4+1 wires.
The forks are the same build except for a small tab to locate the front brake drum on the 125m.
The electronics vary a bit. I believe they both use the same CDI and perhaps the same ignition coil.
The 1984 125m head only has a valve seal on the exhaust side. I believe this was corrected in 1985. I believe the intake valve may not have needed on since it doesnt "sit" in oil
The 125m has a handlebar mounted choke cable. The start button on the handlebars can be added to the 110 assembly.
The 125m runs the exhaust down the side of the bike as where the 110 ran up through the frame.
The 125m uses different sub transmission only available on 84-85 125m.
The trx125 uses many of the same parts. Partzilla and Babbittsonline both have cross reference options to see what parts may fit other bikes.
Please feel free to add to this list.
