2001 RM125 Project

[StealthRider93]

Hey guys, this is my first post but I have been reading threads from this forum for a long time. Good to finally join! 

So, I bought a real project bike, a 2001 Suzuki RM125 that is already torn apart. Had a good condition Hotrods crank but it looks to have the original Koyo bearings still in it. The left side case has a small hole and crack in it, that I am working on repairing, and the crank bearing has some surface rust but doesn't seem to be in bad shape. Also, the previous owner bought the number 3 shift fork to replace one, but I believe he really needed number 2.

I am trying to keep costs as low as possible on this bike while still doing it properly. With that said, if you were me, what would you absolutely have to buy and replace and what can be salvaged? Thanks guys.

I appreciate the reply. I have already repaired the crankcase and have decided to buy all new bearings and shift forks.
