I'm picking up the 125m from a buddy this morning. I just had him clean the carb and tank. He said it has a gas leak from the fuel petcock, and an oil leak somewhere above the chain cover and it smokes alot when you first start it up. I hoping it will smoke less each time I ride it. As for the oil leak. I guess its too bad to just fill the oil before each use. Where are the common places that they leak? I'll check for loose bolts and bad gaskets before I tear into the motor.

The oil leak appears to be behind the ho-lo switch. I can't tell if it coming from behind the switch or from the case. Are there case bolts right there?

^ Wish you were closer, I have an 85 125M thats useless to me. All the cosmetics are junk, bent front end etc etc but there are some good parts on there.....

Mine is not too bad cosmetically and the electric starter works. The gas leak may just be a bad o-ring. I'll take a look at the oil leak when I get some extra time.
