Hi I’ve recently purchased a 1984 Honda XL125R (Front Drum Brake Model) This is my first restoration project and have recently done the frame, swing arm, suspension, wheels and the front forks so it’s basically a rolling frame and I’ve just started the on the engine (I wasn’t there when I collected the bike but was told it had compression and started but was abit boggy) and was hoping to do a full rebuild on it but I don’t have a clue where to start and and the parts I need for the rebuild e.g. piston kit, gasket kit and how to go about it do I strip the entire engine down to each individual piece, clean, list and reassemble in order and rebuild from there or do I do the top end and then the bottom thanks for any replies

Hi I’ve recently purchased a 1984 Honda XL 125R (Front Drum Brake Model) this is my first restoration and I’ve got it to a rolling frame (Swingarm, suspension, Wheels) and I’ve just started on the engine. I wasn’t there when I purchased the bike but was told it had compression and started but was a little boggy so was doing a full engine rebuild build on it but wasn’t sure how to go about it whether I should strip it down in to every piece, label it clean it and reassemble from there or do the top end then the bottom end and also what I would need for the rebuild e.g. piston kit, head gasket kit any information would be great thanks
