I HAVE A JUST BOUGHT A 1982 MK1 RD 125 LC AND IM LOOKING TO RESTORE IT TO THE FULLEST, BUT ON SOME ADVERTS THEY SELL PARTS AS 10W AND SOME 12A, I UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY MEAN AS IN PERFOMANCE 12A=12 AND 10W=21 FOR EUROPEAN MARKET,,,,
BUT ARE THE OTHER PARTS IDENTICAL OR ARE SOME DIFFERENT....
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Forks are smaller on the mk1 10W.Front wheel is 17" on mk1 and 16" on mk2 12Aand wheels have different spokes.Swingarm is thinner on mk1.Mk1 has upright handlebars instead of clip ons.Think bodywork is all the same though. Gary will tell u every detail if u ask him as he knows quite a bit bout these ;D  |

Gary will tell u every detail if u ask him as he knows quite a bit bout these ;D mk1 front and rear wheel size is 18 inch mk2 16 inch front and 18 inch rear same as the tzr though the swing arms are the same on mk1 and mk2 this why could/can put a mk2 swing arm in a mk1 you can even run a 10w head and barrel on a mk2, mk1 275 by 18inch=90 90 18 front mk1 300 by 18inch = 100 90 rear mk2 90 90 16inch front mk 2 300 by 18inch = 100 90 rear you could go 110 90 rear but this might/can alter the profile eg the way the tyre contacts the road you can used a tzr headlamp on a mk1 |
