new jewel find

Hey there vintage nuts
As some of you may know...found a honey a month ago and picked it up yesterday.
1984 XC 125 (See how a old 2 stroke makes ya' smile! Did not even realize it until I saw the pictures.
Very "unmolsted" (meaning a 14 year old kid did not get to it in the barn with a hammer, spray cans, stickers, and vise grips!)

Starts right up. A little rich on bottom. no povervalve means nothing but a mini bike below 6000 RPM. Above that....a ripper!
Clutch pull and engagement is somewhat more worse than typical. Will delve into guts and see maybe she is notchy in the basket or the oil is funky. Has pre 84 kicker but fires up on first kick all the time.
Suspension is ok ut needs new seals and top outs. Gonna give her gold valve treament when in there. Still has OEM Trellys with "H" on each knob.

Thinking abou doing her cosmetis as WR 125? Whats the forums opinion on that?

She will still be able to return to her original "clothes" if needed.

Will have her in modern vintage 175 class at Mid Ohio.

Excuse the silly shorts...

+25,, man that is a very OEM one!!! Good on ya Joe

She's a beaut! I hope to see it at the NE Gathering in August.

Nice scooter find!

I wish the one's here on the West coast weren't all beater's - perhaps I'm looking I'm the wrong places.

At any rate, that's one fine looking machine.

How much $ for the shorts? They are very slimming on you.

Now Now Shane.......don't go there......too many pics of you and photoshop can be so evil......

Besides....I can fit in these shorts.

dang nice bike...makes me wish I still had my '84 CR.

Nice bike Joe! With pic's like that, I wish I still had it....Oh well, I'm on the hunt for my next project...Let me know what was up with that clutch. It always seemed to be sticky until I had about 2 trips around the yard then it was smooth. Kept up pretty well with my 86 XC250 too! Steve D
