Parking Brake
That's what I was thinking, wasn't sure if there was some kind of return spring I could replace/re-lube to get it back to normal. For now I've just got the switch the pedal contacts unplugged to keep the dash light off, a cheap bungee cord may be the way to go so I can at least have the light...- MC770

First time the trucks been driven since around thanksgiving, fired right up without issue (odd for it, usually needs a little ether after sitting that long with the fuel...- MC770

I plan on going older on the next project for sure lol This one holds a special place for me though I grew up during this era of Supercross & Motocross so I couldn't pass it up when it came up for dirt cheap near me. I did have 2 70's era CB750 street bikes I was working on for a little.. Ended...- MC770

I've got a 2000 RM125 that I'm working on a full restoration of right now, got the frame sandblasted the other day and going to powder coat here soon. The drain bolt was stripped out when I got it so I'm on the hunt for a replacement at the moment, going to put a time-sert or something in the...- MC770

I picked this truck up when I still lived in NC (now in Adams County, PA) after it had sat for ~5 years according to the previous owner. The...- MC770
