KMX 125 local to me (East Cornwall) £1200

My freind had a sinnis apache and after about 2 years the seals gave up and they were pitted like mad on the forks and they are terrible.... just buy some decent ones off of a mx bike such as the yz .... anything else would be pointless as its not really an upgrade for the effort you will need to put in fabricating parts ...

@Glynn123 Quads are deadly mate. Deadly.

@Louis-James Are we really considering a Chinese Engine for our Japanese bikes?

Just get a Lanza engine, they crop up from time to time.

@declan MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM OK

@dan28 AAAHHHH good ole Wilko to the rescue. :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

@Glynn123 the ride home will always be nicer lol

Lol are you near Nottingham?

@NINJA i know he definitely cheered my week up I can remember them days tho the excitement I’m just a little concerned he’s never rode a geared bike and he stepping up from a 50cc moped. The bike gunna get trashed within the week

£200, but be sure to rebuild it regardless of what the seller tells you.

Obviously the cheaper you can get it the better.

@jamesrandall93 ..... temperature rising quickly? Eerrm it should rise quickly up to normal operating temperature .... you mean in to the red ? ..... im guessing before you posted this you checked the water level ect ? ...... a more detailed description will help us provide you with a better reply 👍

@giles the mixture screw is the smallest one sat in the hole in an angle on the side ...... the bigger one with the adjuster on it is the tickover screw .... hope this helps

On this website they do insurance on vin and it says you can get drive to a pre arranged mot https://ajinsurance.co.uk/personal-insurance/car-insurance/chassis-number-unregistered

The last NOVAs I did, HMRC didn't pass it. They emailed 2 days later requesting a receipt from the previous owner abroad and proof of its age.
Of all the stigma people try and attach to the simple process of registering a legit imported bike with papers there are some genuine hurdles that nobody seems to know about.

To clear it up, for an EU Bike over 10 years old with or without papers you need:

Nova applied for online and a receipt and proof of age, either foreign logbook or dating certificate at the ready incase they email you. MOT V55/5 filled in and sent with the dating certificate if you didn't have logbook.

Also, I've not heard this being done with an EU bike but a non-EU bike can be valued in writing at a dealer if you don't have a receipt.
(Non EU bikes held by private buyers need to fill in the C384 form and email it to Belfast)

For private owners it's worth joining the VJMC for various discounts and get the dating certificate for £25, but they seem to do pre 98 bikes only.

There are people on Facebook who can get a UK reg number for a smallish fee from the frame number of a UK bike.

@jamesrandall93 I’m pretty sure it’s the wr200 system not a direct fit if I reacall correct but close enough there’s threads on here so search them up

@bikemad88 Because only members with sufficient posts and privileges can post on this site. You must have more than 50 posts I believe.

As Scrim says, you can't compare the KDM and KMX as they're two completely different bikes.

Also look at the wr200 as that'll be a solid bike. Again light nimble with a enough poke for them lanes.

When a 2 stroke is left to stand for a while the carb will be gummed up. As someone mentioned, oil change, new 2T oil, new filter, plug and change coolant. Make sure all old petrol is drained and new is put back in. Ride is slow for a 10mins using brakes and clutch etc to break them in again, once your happy all is ok, take it for a good blast, get all tha shit out the exhaust. If it's abit doggy on accelerating, a full carb clean is required. Good luck✊🏻💨
