[QUOTE="69ST, post: 186851, member: 5"] Sweet find!(y) Those were good machines. Didn't see many of them, I imagine the limited power of the 125 motor resulted in more buyers looking toward the 175 & 350 twins. Cleaning and reviving the fuel/induction system should be straightforward. You'll want to verify that the disc brake assembly functions freely and without leaks. If it's healthy, a system flush, with fresh D.O.T. 3 brake fluid should be all it takes. The money question is the motor. If it sat, for all those years, with both valves closed the motor could very well be in the same condition it was back in 1975. OTOH, if one valve was open...there may be rust in the top end. A good shot of oil, some cranking, followed by a compression test can tell you a lot. Or...you could just rebuild the carb, fog the cylinder with oil, add some fresh fuel and attempt taking it for a ride. [/QUOTE]
