Title: 95 KX125 carb question!
Post by: ph3nom on October 04, 2012, 08:21:33 AM
Hey all!

New to the forum, I just recently purchased a 1995 KX125 project bike off a buddy, he had it all tore down due to a blown motor. Anywho, I found the parts to repair the motor and during the search I noticed I don't have a carb for the bike!  :-o I've been hunting all over the internet for used carbs or possible swaps I can use with no luck at all. The bike is stock except for FMF manifold pipe and silencer. What all carbs can be used on this bike? Different years or model bikes?

Thank you!
Matt

Welcome to the forum Matt.
The book says 95 only.

I'm sure there are other years and makes that will fit but I have never tried.

I managed to find that diagram and was kinda why I asked if anyone else has ran in to this issue haha! I'm sure other carbs would fit the given boots and all, but would there be other issues with putting for example, a 93 kx125 carb on or something along those lines.

The 93 KX125 carb is the "Regular" size PWK, which is a decent amount larger than your 95 model 35 PWK. The 95/96/97 models should have the same size carb if memory serves.

The '93 was just an example haha! I'll have to try and source on of those stated year carbs perhaps, cause I can't for the life of me find a '95 carb  :?  Now, will using one of those carbs effect anything? Jetting, Air screw, etc. ?
