Title: 99-02 KX 125 Swingarm Replacement. Do other years fit?
Post by: MXonaKawi on May 22, 2013, 04:24:16 PM

My swingarm has a huge dent in it from it's previous owner and I am in the market for a new or used one in good condition. I was wondering if any later year models swingarms would fit on my bike, preferably a lighter one to save some weight. If any one knows, your help would be greatly appreciated!

Do yourself a huge favor and get a 00-02 KX250 swing arm.
Others may fit but these ones work perfectly.
Weight savings over the years, nearly no difference....

Thanks man. Any reason why you think I should use the 250 swingarm instead of the 125?

Haha no problem. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. Also, are there ways to fill in a dent in a swingarm? Someone mentioned it to me and I was wondering if it's possible and what I would fill it in with, and how sturdy it would hold up?

No problem.
It all depends on where the dent is and how bad it is.
Can you post some pics?

It could be tig welded, smoothed and blended.... But really it's not that bad in that location.
If it was in the side and not the top I might be more concerned..

oh man :-o...I missed that vid....WTF??...I don't understand what could possibly make someone even consider looking into a barrel after a misfire to see what went wrong. I've done some pretty stupid things in my time, but nothing of that caliber!!...pun intended :-)
