Penton Talk / 1978 KTM 125 MC5 overhaul
June 04, 2011, 09:06:52 PM
I bought this bike a few years ago and it runs, but its got issues. Its in over all good shape for the year and its mostly complete.
The kick start shaft needs to be  replaced as well as the gears. It also needs crank seals. Gonna buy the entire engine seal/gasket kit. Its got a new oversized piston and bore job already.

I cant get the clutch apart... ant tips?  The bolts/nuts ( weird design) turn about a 1/4 turn then stop. Tried heat and I ended up breaking one off.  Havent split cases yet but when I do will there be anyway to hold the bolt from the back side?

The other big problem is the airbox and original carb is missing. cant find an airbox anywhere... any other years/model airbox that will work?

I dont have the money to "restore it" but an engine over haul with new seat cover and plastics should work.
