Yea that was me on facebook.
It could be 82-84 from what I read. They all had full floter From then I think.
Can get any info on top speeds or what sort of power they had. What psi of compression etc

That was me who told you it was an 83/84

Compression will probably be around 150lbs. Top speed isn't really a 'tech' thing. Because you can regear to change speed and all that.

I just wanna be sure what year it is! I hear the 83 wasnt one of the best years to have! Need an airbox and I might order some new plastics. No air boxes on ebay tho :( the tail end of my frame is broken to! Would love a new frame.

Post a picture or two of it. I assume it has a drum rear brake. I had a 87 125 back in the day, fun bike but. That's when I could still ride a dirt bike properly....lol

Looks like an 84 to me.

Doesn't look TOO bad, I've seen worse...
