2007年12月4日 · It seemed underpowered for some reason and just did not feel as good as the 82, also sort of felt smaller and more low sitting which I did not like. Anyway- back on topic for the KX of the same period- your bike looks superb MaxPower! She is a beauty! I think the 82-85 KX125 was the best looking 125 bike of the time.

2012年2月22日 · My 1st bike was an 82, 2nd an 83 KX 125. While I have memories of them I have no overly fond memories. I now own an 84 that I restored but really want an 85. Such an awesome bike and I made the wrong decision to switch to a YZ in 85. I did see a mint restro 83 125 at a vint race at Budds Creek back in 08 or 09... Tempted to buy. They are out there

2007年11月25日 · I'm showing that IMS offers a 3.2 oversize tank for the 89 KX125, but am striking out on locating a new OEM spec replacement tank. After seeing an ad on Ebay on a '82 KX125 (air cool) tank selling for $999, I'm wondering why anyone hasn't started manufacturing replacement tanks for these machines. Seems like there is money to be made.

2020年3月10日 · Today in the shop things went from bad to worse. First: Got a used subframe. Seemed fine at first but upon trying to put it together realized a piece was broken and it was kinda bent.

2014年7月28日 · I know the crank bearings went out of my 82 KX125 really fast using Bel-Ray. I was at a LL qualifier, Mike Roths mechanic told me I screwed up. It took less than 10hours to ruin the bottom end. I am racing a 85 KX125 now on Yamalube at 32:1 seems to be ok in it.

2011年7月20日 · Back in 81 I had a 81 CR125, my best riding buddy had a 81 KX125, and a friend of his (maybe it was his cousin) had a 81 YZ125. After riding the other guy's bikes, I realized that my CR was a turd. I really liked the KX125, but my buddy and his friend both liked the YZ125 best and hated my CR. This was until we got to ride the new RM125.

2013年12月4日 · I've raced 125s offroad since I got my first full size bike in '82, an Husqvarna 125XC. [LINK TO IMAGE] I've got an '82 Husqvarna 125XC now that I race in vintage off road races.

2011年10月14日 · I have a 83 now,,,and had a 82 back in the day. Kawasaki always produced less bikes each year,,,but honestly ,,,this model where notorious for wearing out fast..Frames broke left/and right from cheap steel and lack of gusseting to save weight, back by the foot-pegs and bottom of steering head and back bone at back of tank cracked or broke after a season.., the cylinders Electrofusion plating ...

2020年7月5日 · My ‘82 KX125 -stuck- in a “mud hole”’at the very 1st LL’s... When ya tried to pull it out there’s was this “swooshing-sucking” sound and it WOULD NOT COME OUT...it was stuck in a suck-hole!

2011年1月24日 · Back in the day..1986 when I freshened the '85 KX125 with TUF seat cover bike,,I remember raising the exhaust port a small amount...020" and that made it hit harder up top. Gave the feeling it was faster with harder hit...but the other '85 was done by Barr Comp in (NC I believe) and it was faster and easier to ride with wider powerband.
