well, i seem to have lost my keys to my recently purchased 1990 TZR 125. I was wondering if, to a complete mechanical virgin like myself, is it difficult to change the ignition barrel and the one in the seat and petrol tank too?

I am devistated as i was so proud that it lasted on my 700 mile adventure up and down the country (which is pretty much all the riding i have done on it so far), and now i cant even ride it.

ok i have removed the whole ignition from the bike, but dont know how to get the barrel out from the rest of it.

any help would be greatly apreciated

Hi mate theres 2 bolts hold the ignition of a tzr 125 rk to the top yoke take them both out and remove the whole barrel and disconnect it from the loom,

You will have to drill out the seat lock and the tank lock once drilled the seat lock is held on with 2 10mm nuts and the fuel tank lock is held on with allen bolts.

If you get stuck for a fuel tank cap and seat lock send me a pm and i will see what i can find in the garage as i spent the summer breaking tzr 125's and still have a few bits lyin around
