1973 atmx was created by teamster6
I loved the look of the ltmx so well i liked its bigger brother the 125. Found this one and looks like I am going to grab it. Not in the best of shape but the pipe is in good condition. Oil tank and silencer is gone as well as the oil pump but I think I can find these parts. Interesting part is the left side case is a differant animal on this bike. Front fender and mount are there bent but I think i can straighten that out.

That is the correct left side case for a 73 ATMX. Should be a nice project. Jeff

I know where one of those bikes are. I have touched it, and sat on it........the guy won't sell it. It is leaning against a tree that should grow around it any time.

Around here it is hard to find these bikes I dont think they ever sold many. I raced a 72 model back in the day. Wished I would have kept it. Funny thing I noticed there is a tail light somebody put on there. No lighting coil on this bike so I am wondering what in the world that is about. Anyways I dont think there is one. The ltmx is just a lead to the coil from the mag.

I just watch for one so that I could swap all the stuff from my yellow ATMX to it. Silly but it bugs me that it is a clone. Jeff

If the ignition is stock It has a lighting coil. They used the same stator as the CT`s.

Well Dave without a dought with your knowledge I am sure your right!! Wonder why they would put a lighting coil in it? Also Dave what can you tell me about seat foam on them. Is there anything out there that fits the 125??

Replied by teamster6 on topic 1973 atmx seat
Well we got her home. Not great shape but better than expected. Has a strange set of rear shocks on it. Handlebars changed. Somebody actually wired the tail light and a headlight with controls on the bars so at some point it had lights. Now we have been scrutinizing the seat. Does not look like a original seat but not sure compareing the atmx to a ltmx. The ltmx is kind of high in the back with a arch.goes back to the frame over back fender. The seat on this atmx looks more like a at1 seat lower profile and does not go back to rear frame over fender. Now not sure looking at pictures the atmx looks like a lower profile seat. I thought it would be more like the ltmx.
