The 1975 YZ 125 was a Twinshock, the 250 and 360 were first year monoshock bikes.The only differnce in the 74 and 75 YZ 125 is the color.

October 14, 200915 yr yep sure enough you are right thank you very much for your knowledge on the subject if you find anyone with airbox and pipe or know of aftermarket suppliers please tell me thanks twinshock You can find the airbox on E BAY often. The 74 and 75 MX125 and MX 175 use the same air box.You will see the inner rear fender and the air box riveted to it.
October 16, 201014 yr tapeworm, try Reproduction Decals they have plastic too. If they don't show the graphics for your year, they might be able to make it for you. Source backup ignition parts, I found those bikes seemed to have electrical issues, but hey it's 35 years old! That's what caused my 76 YZ125 to die. Great bikes, no low end, some mid range, top end...... well mine comes on VERY strong!
