Dude - can you get that idle down ? Fork seals leaking badly. Easy fix. I like the bike - looks like fun ! Nice candidate for a rustoration. Looks like you might be in the Burg. Nice day today wasn't it ?
Yup, the idle came down after a little more tweaking with the carb. Air screw in a little more was the trick. I am in the Pittsburgh area! North hills to be exact. We’ve had some crazy weather for November!
I had a Suzuki DS125 as my 3rd bike, never gonna forget that bike easily my favorite bike I’ve owned
I have a soft spot for Suzukis. My first was a ‘79 RM80 in 1993 when I was 13.
I used to ride my 74 ts125 20 miles to high school every day in 90s
Mid Ohio vintage days are the best
I agree. It’s a yearly visit for me!
Mine leaks from countershaft seal as well. I call it an automatic chain lube system, til I can get around to fixing it!
I may let it go a bit too…constant chain lube! 😆
Good job brother.
Thanks buddy!
It's nice to get a good one m8 🎉
Thanks Andy! After doing a complete engine rebuild on that CT3, the vintage motorcycle gods smiled down on me 😆
I always look on ebay while watching only one ts 125 for sale a little better condition $1900 in England
I don’t see many with this upswept pipe that’s not all smashed in around here

Never seen that old model of an ts before ❤
They go back further than this. I have a 72 TS185 as well!
When is the big bike show in January in PA and what do they call the show?
Not sure, but it’s usually mid January if I remember correctly. York Pa vintage bike swap meet.
January 25th I can’t wait PE PE PE PE😂
Can’t come soon enough!
if you put that carb boot in a bag of ArmorAll for a couple of days it will be like new. It restores them chemically.
Good to know! I’ll have to try that sometime. Thank you!
cool little project. Is the injection system still intact or are you pre mixing? it sounds like the idle is a bit high
Thanks! Yeah the injection is still working which is crucial for the Suzukis. One line lubricates the cylinder and the other handles the main bearings
Did they close the Vermont loophole
Unfortunately yes they did
