This is the walk around video of the #broketobuilt 1989 KX125. This bike was a top 16 in the 2022 contest. This video is with the Jeff Emig inspired accents.
I'm an older guy and I remember these bikes from back in the day so I can really appreciate the work you did on this bike. The attention to detail is over the top.
I raced an 88 version of that bike, your might have a 19" rear hoop, mine had the 18" hoop. I remember that bike can shoot you up into the air if you aint careful, LOL! The engine had some really nice power and the turning was great. It was a fun bike to ride. Yours is cherry!
Hey Jimmy, great build. I'm currently doing a 87 myself and having a little trouble with the rear wheel set up. Can you remember which spacer goes on what side as they are different sizes. Cheers John.
Excellent job..can you give details or make a video on your process of restoring plastic gas tanks? I’m curious about the final stage of buffing mainly. I understand about going from heavy to light grit. Just haven’t found a way to really polish plastic without having the fine scratches even at 2500 grit.
There is a fantastic TH-cam video from my good friend Cameron niemela regardingplastic restoration. Search his channel for it. He posted it not long ago. I still struggle myself with fine scratches
Did you rebuild the front forks? I'm at the moment of doing that and stuck in mid process, I can't find a fork cylinder holder. I can't remove bottom 14mm hex nut.
You are missing the rear brake master cylinder green plastic cover. I can't find a photo of it online, but if you want I can probably send you a pic of mine.

Thank you sir!! This thing turned out really nice! I'm definitely loving that 80s Green and Blue.
Here here had 88 kx 125 in my early 20s loved that creaming little hulk colored beast
This is the nicest classic era Kawasaki kx 125 I've ever seen. It looks like a factory bike. Great job brother.
Thank YOU!! This thing was a stunner in person! Love these old single side radiator KX models.
Absolutely stunning looking bike great job I’m doing a 1989 250 myself I love the Kawasaki thank you for the video 👍
Thanks!! I sure love the old late 80s KXs for sure. Good luck with your 250!!
That is not a bike its a work of art it is beautiful 😊😊😊😊
Thanks! It really is a beautiful bike! Im ready to another one!
Something about them old kawasakis, great work dude
Something about all kawasakis old and new my favorite bikes owned like 7 different ones loved them all
Had 1988 kx 125 back in the day loved that green little hulk monster screamer
Beautiful bike man! You always go all in..
Thank you! I still have a love for these single side radiator Kawi 125s
kawasaki had the best bike designs of the 80's mx bikes, i especially like the numbered fender of the early 80's and the green and gold
Sure did. 87 - 90 had a distinct look that I really liked. But the 93-94 was probably my favorite
Beautiful 1989 Kawasaki KX125. Restoring a 1990 KX250 Myself.
Love the 90s KX models. I did a 94 a couple years ago that was a beaut!

Hey! Thanks! Unfortunately I don't remember. I have gotten in the habit (now) of noting that when I disassemble
This thing is minty!

Actually I sent them to Factory Connection for rebuild. They have really helped me out on these older rebuilds
I have the same bike trying to restore it currently, can’t find a service manual for the life of me. Any tips on how to get my hands on one?
I usually can find used manuals on ebay. I've had good luck doing that.

Amigo desculpa nao falar o seu odioma.. parabéns pelo belo trabalho. Tenho uma kx 125 sou do Brasil!. preciso da pinça de freio e nao acho aqui. Por ai e facil de encontrar ? Estou sem freio
Onde eu encontro essas pinças e qual modelo pra eu poder procurar ?.😢😅
Hi Jimmy I have a 88 kx 125 did you do a video on the polishing the tank ?
I don't. However, there are a few on TH-cam from others that explain the process.
How did u do it ?
What reeds did u use I put boyeson reeds on mine and it a running as good
Boyesen on this one as well.
@@jkiseracing stocks are so much better
@Jacob Ward the stock ones were not readily available and for some reason VERY expensive!
@@jkiseracing can’t find any parts for it 💀
What is name of the grey paint you used ? I am restoring a 1988 kx125
On the covers?
@@jkiseracing yes on side of engine
@Scott Kyle Krylon matte vintage gray. Sticks well to plastic and is a great match.
@@jkiseracing it’s the one for metal casing u used
is this bike for sale is it sold yet
This one sold as soon as I posted it for sale.
Do you export ? Uk ?
I have sold one bike outside the US, yes.
