Thanks linuxrob, Just trying to figure out where to run the wiring along the frame so that all the connections are in the correct place. Any ideas? Ta

Hi. So I have moved further along with the bike. See photos. Can anyone suggest an alternative exhaust for the bike as I cannot find a good clean one anywhere. Thanks.

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the cylinder head on my KH125 has a nikasel bore? I ask as i believe that if it is I will need it relined rather than honed. Any help appreciated! Many thanks

Hi. So kh125 frame is now blasted, horrific welding ground back and redone. Fork restoration about to begin. I am looking for advice on an engine swap. Can I use a kz125? Any ideas on alternatives? Thank you!!

Hi, I am looking for a complete engine for a Kawasaki KH125. Thanks

Hi, That worked perfectly. Can anyone recommend a cheap and cheerful stand to raise the bike up for working on? I dont want a full length lift just i suppose a jack for under the frame that i can then work on the bike. Thanks

Hi, all. I have to confess some of all of this is lost on me at the moment. But I am saving the pages as i go to make up an advice journal of sorts. Have got the frame stripped of all components and am now deciding whether to media blast or chemically dip the frame. Also i have a stupid question. The fuel tank has some fuel in it, barely any but enough too slosh around. The valve on the bottom is operational but i can't get the fuel to drain. I have left the tank outside my garage in a box, as don't want petrol in an unsealed container in there. what would you advise doing to drain it? Thank you all again.

Hi, Thanks for the honest appraisal Fast Bob and advice ftw. Yep it is a shed but it was cheap, very cheap. Stripped it a little and see that the frame has been bodged a bit here and there with some shocking welding. Will need to sort that. Plan is as follows... 1. Read as much as i can re the bike and two stroke engine rebuilds. 2. Create a parts missing list and a parts to restore list. 3. Strip it down to the frame. 4. Get the frame dipped or stripped weld and repair. 5. Coat the inside of the frame and paint the outside. 6. Build some kind of bike table and then start on the engine. Just need to locate a factory Kawasaki workshop manual that is not £40 and I'm set. Cheers

SO, due to the fact that all the Honda CG125's that were right for me are 300 miles away, I took a 30min drive today to pick up a Kawasaki KH125 from 1992. Needs a lot of attention. My aim is to enjoy the rebuild an i am in no hurry so.... And it has no complete engine!

Hi, When looking into the 2 stroke bike a lot of articles came up regarding banning them for pollution issues! Is this likely to happen? Is this happening? Dont want to restore my first bike and not be able to ride it! Thanks again for all the support!!

Hi, finding the search for a Honda cg125 within shouting distance of Edinburgh a little frustrating. i can source a Kawasaki KH125 locally. Would this be appropriate for a starter project in your opinion?

Hi, Does it make any difference to parts availability or upgrading if a CG125 Honda is 6v? Thanks

Ebay has half a dozen all needing work that seem to be going for about £300 - £500. Will keep an eye and see what i can get. Thanks

Hi, I like the look of the 1970 - 1980's Honda. So I will hopefully find one in the next few weeks that suits. Thanks again!

Thanks for the suggestions and offer of support, i really appreciate both! Will start looking for a Honda CG 125 and or Yamaha Rxs 100. Any specific age of bike best? Will be back in touch when I am successful. Thanks!
