Yes.I should have said Yamaha's.I had one also, just after a 79 KTM, the Yamaha was a revaluation, light weight, stunning handling, and for a 125 POWER.back off road wrote:i think your memory is starting to fail you fmtb the yz 125 h was the first of the liquid cooled yams , unfortunately i had one and they were crap
The one I had was an X Roger Harvey one, so may have had some tweaks to make it go, but go it certainly did, frequently embarrassing much bigger motors of the day.She came with white power suspension, and other than the fact that in my absence my Dad whilst checking for a spark, by resting the plug on the spark plug hole, and kicking the bike over, and setting light to the whole plot as the accumulated fuel in the crank was forced out of the plug hole, to the waiting sparking plug
, any way, burnt eyebrows regrown, shed replaced, neighbours stopped talking about the time the mad bearded bloke at nb 17 set his shed alight 
, which engulfed my lovely bike that I would probably still own, but for that.I was also racing at Golding Barn , West Sussex, and watched a Suzuki RM490, bouncing over the badly whooped out up hill section, by the time he reached the uppermost part of the track, the seat had gone, side panels ditto, and the tank was flailing around manically, plus one of those vicious RM420s tried to really kill me, good an proper, evil things
.I had a 89 RM250 and if anyone thinks CRM spares are dear, I had to buy a new kick start after several weeks of trying to race without one,
£75.00 for a new one, and that was in 1991, hatamatasui off, I said.Mike
