i checked with both, no cigar.  al thought parts and peices from a 175 may be possible. i am basicly looking for anything about that year and size . i can get pretty creative with the plasma cutter and mig welder if i have to

 

JUST A NOTE TO KEEP THIS SUBJECT AT THE TOP OF THE LIST, BY  THE WAY DO YOU HAVE THE OTHER SIDE SIDEPANEL,  IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET THE SET  LEFT AND RIGHT

 

NOPE, FOUND ONE FROME DR.2STROKE, NOW SHOPPING 4 PLASTIC ANY LEADS??

 

yes so when ordering parts what should i ask for? i think i have a gs-125 can i narrow it down somehow by the seirel #s i am still stumped as to why the 125 is in a 250 chassis  any way i just want to figure out what it is for sure  is there a web site with lots and lots of pictures somewhere out in pentonville

 

i think the panel ime looking for was described by  metalfabs post on 3/20 with the obivious triangle with the oval moved down and foward  sounded pretty hard to come by  may be others would work ?  i havent a clue what goes on the right side mine has been missing for a long time   1976 125 ktm motor

 

at 35 a pop count me in

 

i would be interested in side panel, would you have any type of ball park cost in mind??

 

i have the same problem on my 76 125 ive seen picts. of the notched out panels. question, can you flip the shocks over and be any better off ??

 

if you find out the value please post your findings, i am also an upper midwestern, and was wondering same thing

 

KTM motor

 

if i am not mistaken the spring colors are somewhat rated to the riders weight, i could be wrong but i think black is for light, green for medium and i think purple for heavy rider

Chris,
You must either have something bent or the wrong parts. I know your chain adjusters are wrong, they should be stamped metal, formed into a deep "U" shape, with a 8mm square nut welded on the inside, they straddle the end of the swingarm and use a bolt in the end for adjustments.
 
Is your 76 125, KTM or Sachs powered. I ask that because I have a MC5 (KTM) model here, I could find what the dimension of the span should be inside the swingarms.

The make-up of the rear wheel parts should be- a chain adjuster, brake backing plate, hub (wheel), spacer which is apx. 1 13/16" long, and the other chain adjuster.

Make sure you have the correct factory parts, if they're right, then maybe the swingarm got bent somehow. Measure that accurately, and let me know.

DR. 2 stroke thanks for your reply. if i can make sure that is exactly what i need, the price sounds fair enough.  do you have an idea of what shipping would cost?? also how would i go about payment??

i am looking for some help with my 76 125,ktm motor with a bing carb.  once i get the thing started it runs like the champ that it is, how ever there inlies my problem.  starting this bike cold is getting to be quite a prosess, start by kicking and kicking and ect... so after a few deep breaths off the oxygen, pull out the spark plug, its soaked, replace,repeat,same outcome. so the third time i remove the soaked plug, pour about two cap fulls of gas directly into cylinder,put soaked plug back in and presto off she goes.it will spew nasty stuff out the exaust port for a while also. after the bike is warm it will start on the first kick everytime,hmmm. the carb is spotless inside and out,the float levels are correct, and the motor has a fresh top end.   HELP
