does any one know the way to get to it do i need to split the engine apart, it seems like big job just to get to the spring is it there another way to get it done???

Hi Zene, welcome to the forum.
Now, I don't know about the MTX 125, but on my MZ ETZ301 you just needed to take the side cover off of the engine. The hard part was re-tensioning the spring again. The trick was to clamp the kick start shaft in a vice, fit the engine case over the spline and locate the spring in the hole in the cover, then rotate the cover around 1 and a third turns, and fit the kickstart lever.
I realise that might not apply to the MTX, but if the MTX *is* like that then it'll help you out a lot, cos I tore my hair out for ages trying to fit it back together.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another. |
