Yamaha RD125LC Parts

Development of RD125LC models

This single cylinder two-stroke Yamaha model was firstly introduced to the UK market in 1982. It was aimed for the learner riders that wanted a more modern equivalent to the air-cooled RD125 twin.

Yamaha RD125LC MK1

The new sporty version (MK1) received besides a liquid cooled engine also bikini faring and a belly pan Even though this 125cc model was restricted to 12 bhp and 75 mph with a micron or Allspeed exhaust (the pipes of choice at that time) it could create a nice speed of 100mph going down a hill.

Furthermore, an alloy beam frame replaced the old-fashioned tubular frame and rear suspension with a mono-shock swing arm.

Yamaha RD125LC MK2

In 1985 Yamaha updated the 125LC with the MK2 version. The new model had rounded clocks, replacing the dated rectangular ones of the MK1. Besides other improvement, wide front forks were fitted, straight spoke wheels meant that the stability and handling improved drastically.

Yamaha RD125LC MK3

Yamaha's final version of RD125LC, the RDZ125 MK3, was introduced in 1987. This model was under a lot of competition from the other Yamaha bikes as well as other Japanese motorcycles.

The only real difference between MK2 and MK3 was the new YPVS motor, the bike itself remained the same. In the UK, the power valve was blanked off for the UK learner riders, but you could get a power valve kit on the black market if you wanted the extra tuning.

In Europe, this model was marketed as the Mk2 LC2 and had a fully functional power valve (YPVS) engine.
