    Big boring the 90's RM125's is a bit more work and less return than the Husky. 133 is easy, 139 is doable but the liner is getting thinner and the cases need some work to get clearance. Really need to stroke the motor to get those years beyond 139 and that is always more moolaa. If you are going to stroke it then go the route and get it out to 155. Only about $2K realistically by the time you are done. I would consider doing the 139 kit you can buy direct from one of the sleeve companies when the top end is shot. You could always shoe horn a Husky 165 motor in there! Probably cheaper than the stroker kit.

    Probably not going to do any of that on this $200 bike. :D If it was EZ and i liked the bike down the road maybe but sounds like to much effort / $$$ for this loaner sled.

    Hi I had one of the bikes and the gearboxes in them are very poor. I Had to replace 2nd gear twice and then it started dropping out of 2nd gear in to neutral so I sold it. My friend had a 2000 rm 125 and he's gearbox went twice.

    I have a 2000 RM 125 at home and a 2000 Husky CR 125. Both seem to have equal amount of time on them. The RM gearbox is mush compared to the husky. I see barely no wear on the husky gears and I had to replace 4 gears in the RM tranny. Still love my RM though. Nice bike. It's a 134 now...

    Not liking all these transmission issue stories. Hopefully it is OK, rode it around my house up to about 3rd or so and was fine. Old Joe will be EZ on it. He's not a banger.

    Sure but shipping from Canada might not make sense?

    Not sure what. Was just with Jake and he said the same thing. We went up to Woodland and i got a piston kit for the RM as it has low compression. Cylinder looks great. He gave me hand guards, chain and tires. good stuff. Might take Joe riding this weekend if i can find the time. Thanks everyone.

    BUT, I need to talk with you and see what you have, might need to hoard some crap :>)

    BTW i did take the bike for a short shake down ride the other day and it worked pretty darn good. Turns crazy quick, Motor despite being tired was good mid and top. Front brake is crazy husky strong, bike feels smaller and lighter than the huskys, forks works well, shock needs some love. Bike worked fine, Joe should love it.

    these are stock unserviced forks from 1997, as such they work "good" I bet with some love they would be VERY good.
