    One of the best Christmas presents from my parents. A left over 1976 CR125M. One of the most reliable dirt bikes known to mankind, you couldn’t kill it. By 1981 it just sat in my cellar with a worn sprocket, broken tensioner and in desperate need of a rebuild. In 1983 I sold it for a $100. Those were the most carefree, happy years of my life. Thank you for the video.

I can never figure out why, but for a few years between the 70s and about 1985 manufactures kept changing the side the kickstarter was on. It's a mystery to me and I would just love to know why, it just seems like a tremendous amount of work to keep retooling the production lines to switch things around.🤔

    Where you buy parts carburetor and mounting flange? What carb size and throat depth (mm) you took? Your bike

    • @Bradybrandwood
      @Bradybrandwood  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Otto Pennanen Hi I got the 34mm carb from DC Plastics, and the Mikuni intake from a seller on E-Bay.

    • @ottopennanen
      @ottopennanen 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Brady Brandwood what is throath split? 60mm-25mm or 62mm-45mm

    • @Bradybrandwood
      @Bradybrandwood  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Otto Pennanen I don’t know the answer to that. It fits 1974-1978 Honda CR 125 Intake Manifold for 30-34mm Mikuni. I looked back at my notes and see I actually bought the intake manifold from DC Plastics too, or dcvmx.com
