They make a simple engine kit, with all the needed parts under one part number, that includes a Hot Rod crankshaft, main bearings, Vertex piston, transmission bearings and all the gaskets you need. With the help of Wrench Rabbit, we had most of our engine needs covered. That was a blessing for MXA’s 1994 Honda CR125. Third, the effect of the boom and surge convinced aftermarket companies that there was demand for replacement parts for bikes as old as the sport. Second, the two-stroke resurgence caught everyone by surprise. Luckily, three things have happened since the 1994 Honda CR125 rolled down the assembly line. We weren’t sure how it was going to look-and we still aren’t. The frame was chrome when we bought the bike off Craigslist. Why do they stop making parts for bikes that are still being used? Three reasons: (1) They couldn’t be expected to foresee a day when anyone would want to ride an almost three-decades-old dirt bike (2) Back in 1994, the dealers had lots of CR125 parts on their shelves and didn’t have the space to keep stockpiling parts year after year for both new and old models (3) Honda is in the business of selling new bikes, and they can’t stop the next year’s production line to run off parts for an old model. Honda stopped making 1994 CR125 replacement parts two decades ago.
It turns out that the hardest part of building any 26-year-old motocross bikes is finding parts for it. Since the clamps had to be built from scratch, we had Applied drill out the front fender bolt holes to accept a 2016 CRF450 front fender because we liked the look.Īt this stage, everything was going okay-not great, but not beyond the realm of the typical resto-mod of a 26-year-old motocross bike. Applied Racing CNC machined us a custom set of triple clamps to accept our fork-updated triple clamps. Of course, the 2008 CRF450 forks didn’t fit in the 1994 CR125 triple clamps.

We had Race Tech re-valve the stock shock and update the Showa forks to work in unison. We tossed out the outdated 1994 Showa forks for a set of 2008 CRF450 forks. With the frame back from polishing, the hard work began. TMR cleaned up the cylinder and head, while V-Force added bolt-on power. We gladly gave him the money, because we thought it was a steal. The frame had been oddly chromed but was straight and crack-free. The bike didn’t run, and it looked in bad shape, but we saw potential. We found a deal on a unique 1994 Honda CR125 and decided to invest our time and money into it. But, even a billionaire like Warren Buffett doesn’t have a perfect track record and neither do we. Billionaire investor Warren Buffet once said, “We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy only when others are fearful.” Buffet knows stocks we know dirt bikes. He is fearful of the potential price tag of getting the old dog running again. When an old bike quits running, the owner pushes it into the back corner of the garage and forgets it. We can see things of value in old bikes that their owners can’t-most of the time. We love working on old bikes that are in need of serious TLC. Wrist pin clips sold as a pair, one pair per piston.This old dog mysteriously blew up two times before we found the fly in the ointment. Since the engine is torn apart, take the time to browse the Engine and Transmission index page for your bike model for anything else you might need like valve guides or measurement tools like a set of micrometers so you can get the job done right the first time.
Wrist pin clips are available for the Honda CB350 / CB360 / CB450 / CB550 engines, so select properly before adding the clips to your cart. We suggest changing our the wrist pin clips each time the piston is removed from the connecting rod, so no need to re-use the old ones. Skip the hours of searching and order some new ones. Why You Need This: When rebuilding the engine from your Honda CB350 / CB360 / CB450 / CB550, there's a good chance that you have ejected at least one of the wrist pin clips across your garage into the black hole where your 10mm socket, countless washers, snap rings, and tiny ball bearings have all disappeared.
