1994 KX125 Retro Rescue Restoration Completed

[@jcrisen5417]

Awesome build. Belongs in a museum!

[@jkiseracing]

Oh it was a beautiful bike once completed. You should have seen how it started!

[@DarrenDarren-bs2gh]

Got the same bike. It sat in my parents shed while i spent the 90’s and 2000’s in the military overseas. Then got married and kids. My parents moved and i needed to get out of the shed. It had an 1/4 of dirt on it. Air filter was disintegrated and a lot of dry rot. Just started ordering parts for it and they are hard to find, especially that carb boot and a boyesen rad valve! nice work and I subscribed!

[@jkiseracing]

Awesome! Exhaust are also tough to find but they come around. Good luck on the build. Great bikes and the best looking OEM graphics of all time imo

[@mikehunt2996]

He never starts any of his bikes?? Best part.

[@jkiseracing]

Other videos of the bikes are when I fire em up! Ill do better!!

[@rockman49er]

Wow that is the best looking kx I've seen in awhile what is this bike worth would love to have it i just recently restored a 98 kx250 almost as nice as this one just didn't buy new rims everything else i did though every nut and bolt was replaced and nickel plated plus i got 3 sets of plastics 2 black sets and one green set allbwith new graphics im not selling mine yet im storing it in my living room for now what did yours sell for i was thinking mine was at least worth 8 grand because i put a little over 4 grand into its rebuild 😮

[@jkiseracing]

I don't remember what I sold this one for but it wasn't enough!! LOL!! The 94 had one of the best OEM graphics theme of any KX model ever IMO.

[@andrewmapes8205]

amazing bike

[@jkiseracing]

Thanks! It was a beautiful bike. The 94 had some.of the best graphics too!

[@basf2220]

very nice work

[@nathanrudsell9392]

Personally do you think older bikes can keep up and are just as good as newer bikes

[@jkiseracing]

Absolutely!! The right rider on an older 2T can give a modern bikes run for his money!

[@fruityykibbles7304]

Do you know if the bud racing exhaust will work on a 94. It says 95. Can’t find anything in stock for the 94

[@jkiseracing]

I have seen that exhaust before and honestly I think that pretty much any exhaust for the 95 will fit the 94 just as well

[@notillegal6771]

Where did you source parts? I just got my frame powder coated and swingarm polished. Time to start engine and suspension work

[@jkiseracing]

The parts were sometimes hard to find. As many OEM parts as I could get. EBay was also my friend!

[@eddietorres7580]

Where did you purchase the fmf fatty ? I recently acquired a 94 125 myself and can’t seem to find a pipe for it !

[@jkiseracing]

I was able to purchase directly from FMF at the time of build. They are pretty difficult to find and getting harder. Keep an eye on ebay daily and one is bound to show up.

[@franciscotavares2817]

I have a 94 kx125 as well and can't seem to find a new carb boot for it. Where did you get yours?

[@jkiseracing]

The carb boot that was on it was still in really good condition believe it or not. I did use a thin layer of silicone on it though to help preserve it.

[@franciscotavares2817]

@@jkiseracing ok yeah I plasti dipped mine, worked great but don't know how long it will hold up.

[@joevdenne1930]

Where do you list the bikes that you are selling?

[@jkiseracing]

I usually post them on Facebook marketplace but I also also will give everyone a heads up on my on my Facebook or Instagram page.

[@swemx7403]

Is it true that the powerband of that bike is bland? Just torque and a slight push in the middle range and thats it? No top end power?

[@jkiseracing]

I didn't get an opportunity to really ride this one other than break in before it sold. 😕

[@swemx7403]

@@jkiseracing Damn.. Thats cind of sad really.

[@kmx509]

Hello! I got a 1996 that I'm starting a resto on. Where did you get your graphics and seat cover? thank you!

[@jkiseracing]

The graphics on this particular build came from a vendor on eBay. I don't remember on the seat cover. I do use a lot of sources though. Are you looking for OEM style On your seat cover?

[@kmx509]

@@jkiseracing Yup. Basically the exact same look as yours. Retro kx with the green and purple and the purple seat. I also have a carved seat on mine. Would that work?

[@kmx509]

@@jkiseracing I really need the graphics if you can find them. I cannot find those graphics and they are really hard to comeby.

[@jkiseracing]

@@kmx509 give evo-mx.com a look. They are UK based but have what you need. I've ordered from them many times. Great folks!

[@jewintheoven9442]

Do you know where you got the metal frame guards?

[@jkiseracing]

I'm almost positive those were still an available OEM part. I'll check

[@jkiseracing]

I just checked and the OEM rear master cylinder guard is an available OEM part

[@imakang4roo218]

So when I search for a fmf shorty silencer nothing comes up that would fit this bike what did you do. Did you do any fab work or what?

[@jkiseracing]

Exhaust and silencer for a 94 is almost non existent. I searched for months with no luck. Finally I decided to buy the FMF exhaust for a 1995 and it worked perfectly. No modifications needed whatsoever.

[@imakang4roo218]

@@jkiseracing ok that’s awesome thanks😁

[@ffspablo8739]

Fantastic build. Any ideas where I could get parts for a 1990 KX250.

[@jkiseracing]

Some oem parts are actually still available for it. Others you may want to search on ebay.

[@ffspablo8739]

Is it Kawasaki that you get OEM parts off? eBay has very little at the minute. It's really only the carb and exhaust and nuts and bolts I need, I can refurb the rest hopefully.

[@jkiseracing]

@ffspablo8739 yes. I buy Kawi OEM parts from any online retailer usually.

[@ffspablo8739]

Appreciated Jimmy 👌

[@rockman49er]

Babits online has all the oem parts available some are discontinued but they have most

[@isaiahfoley942]

How did you find a new set of plastics? I dont see much for a 94. Any other years you know that will work?

[@jkiseracing]

I was able to find the plastic by looking for anything that fit 1994 through 1998. Most of it was pretty readily available on eBay. It's UFO plastic that's on this particular bike

[@rockman49er]

​@@jkiseracingdid you have to drill the ufo plastics way back in the old days 80s and 90s lol you had to thats why i went with polisport plastics

[@liamnorman3118]

Will the 1995-1997 fmf or pro circuit pipes fit the 1994 kx125?

[@jkiseracing]

Yes. The exhaust on this 94 is actually a 95 FMF. Perfect fit

[@nathanrudsell9392]

@@jkiseracing what type of fmf exaust a silencer ? Or shorty and also is it a fattie? Or will any kind of 1995 fmf exaust fit a 1994?

[@jkiseracing]

@@nathanrudsell9392 this one's an fmf fatty with shorty silencer. That was about the only one I could find

[@nathanrudsell9392]

@@jkiseracing okay thankyou

[@Rlip]

Dont cases come as a set ?

[@jkiseracing]

Always best. In this case I was able to make it work. Always best matched if possible.
