I have a 2004 KLX125L that I blew the motor up on. Snaped the camshaft in 2 pieces. Ive been trying to find a complete engine assembly but not having any luck. Does anyone know where I can find one. I have also been throwing the idea around (which id prefer) of putting in a 250 in it and fabricating everything else up to make it work. Does anyone have an idea of what engine would be the easiest to work with? I know its not going to be a direct bolt up so im gonna be fabricating anyways.

Thanks, Mike

i think i 250 4 banger would be too big and bulky to fit in the smaller frame even with fabrication. now if you wanted to go two stroke 250 that sounds like a fun bike. even a 125 would haul that bike around pretty quick, and plus two stroke engines are easy to maintain and much more available good luck

I was watching a DR-Z125 motor on ebay for a while, but it's been sold.
I highly doubt a 250 motor would fit. However, I've put a SP200 motor in with minimal effort. Other options are DR100, DR125, DR200 and SP125 as these all use identical cases, on the 200s, the cylinders are taller, so you need to fabricate upper motor mount brackets.
Also, I'm nearly certain I've got a spare cam if you want to replace just that.

KLX 125 is the little bigger. Powered by a torque and responsive air-cooled 125cc four-stroke single, both the KLX125 and KLX125L pump out plenty of rider-friendly power. The engine has been simple low & mid-range power, smooth shifting 5-speed transmission.
