So while working my way through a 12pack of Fat Tire, I decided it was as good a time as any to get started on pulling the RM125 apart so I could do a frame up rebuild on it, God knows it needs one. This bike definitely had a hard life and was abandoned at the side of a house for at least a year.

Like many of my sometimes ill-fated projects, I started out with the comment "how hard could it be" and proceeded to begin diassembly. Inside it looks clean, but without a doubt I'll likely have to replace almost every hose, sand, repaint, new seals, rebuild the motor, the tranny etc. I figured it would be a fun side project to screw around with. Yeah, it will likely cost more in the end than it would to just buy one in good shape, but I figure I'll learn a lot in the process.
