I have just started restoring a 1979 YZ125F. It looks a lot like the 125G, except the drive chain and exhaust are on the left side. I spent most of yesterday trying to free the (badly rusted)swing arm pivot bolt. I had to disassemble my press, than reassemble it with the bike frame inside. But my efforts were rewarded with a BANG as the bolt finally broke loose. Needless to say the bearings were shot, and fell out in pieces when I pulled out the pivot bolt. Of course that was the last part to be taken off the frame, now I can start the restoration phase! Very excited. Brian John,

Hope that YZ get a good home. It`s I think the only european yellow, (american version) restorated version: And certainly the BEST!!! I think that John had two or more tears when he have builted it for shipping! If the new owner see this: ” keep us YZ-guys In touch” on Bikepicks, or Mail. Ismoh from Finland Congratulations John.
