Title: Replacement fuel tank for 88-89 KX125
Post by: queen of spodes on January 01, 2014, 02:31:00 PM

I'm not finding a stock replacement fuel tank for the 88/89 KX125.  There may be oversize tanks but I will need a replica OEM tank. 

Is there a vendor who manufactures these?

Don't count on it....I went through this a couple years ago for an 87 KX125....found nothing as far as new OEM size.
The only new I could find was through IMS....but I didn't want 3.2 gallon tank.
Your best bet is to recondition the one you have.
