1997 YZ125???

[kxdude258]

Hey my dad knows this guy who is selling a '97 YZ125 in good running condition with only a broken rear fender for only $450 I havn't seen pictures yet so i don't know what it looks like but if its ok should i go ahead and buy it. Is this a good year or what??? I'm gonna put at least $200 bucks in it to fix it up a little. If i don't like it i can always sell my 100 and this bike to get a newer on. What do yall think?

P.S. I get some pics up as soon as i get them

[psycho393]

well if it runs and nothing is obviously beyond repairing it'd be a good deal. I'd consider getting it if it was here in my area.

Fix it up, and turn around and sell it for 1500.

Hey Man yeah i would definitely buy this bike. My buddy just bought the same bike for 500 bucks and the guy told me to rejet it. **** I'm 14 years old but I figured ok i've jetted 2 strokes before its not that bad. So we rejetted it and all and it still didn't run so i tore the cylinder apart and checked out the top end. Too bad it was losing compression cause it had a gouge in the cylinder wall. I sent the cylinder away to phathead racing in California and they big bored it to a 134 for me and sent me a pistion kit for 300 bucks. Thats a steal a 134 that runs like a bat out of hell for all of 800 bucks. But one problem I need the original settings I don't have a manual and want the suspension settings. Does anybody have these?

cool thanx for the info, my dad and i are still talkin about it so.....

$450 dollars would be a steal here in SoCal. Even if you had to put a couple hundy into it I think it is still a good deal.

If it was local here and it runs, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[kxdude258]

I'm still waitin to check it out though the man said it was his sons and he hasn't stoped by his sons house to see about it so i'll find out tomarrow i guess.

Let us know how it goes.

That is a bargain if it only needs what you say it does!

Good Luck!
