    simple answer is no but i guess you could do some mods but the top hose dont match check out this link has full diagrams of most bikes including yours only bummer is it dont have parts numbers

    ps which side are you after ive got a cr250 right side some were at home that looks kinda the same may be worth a look at if its that side your after ive also got some contacts through work that can fix some bike radiators.

    I wouldn't do it really as im not sure if the size of the radiators are the same. if the 125 radiator is smaller then the 250 (which could be possible) if the radiator is too small obviously their wont be enough cold air flowing/requirements through the radiators to coool all the vital parts of the motor.

    Both of my radiators have had a bit of a knock, but the left hand side on is the one that bugs me the most. it doesn' leak at all and I've had no problems, but about 1/3 of it is pushed in from when my bike fell off the trailer.

    I spoke to albany radiators and they said it would probably cost about $100 to fix.

    if you can make mounting brackets up and get the right size hoses any radiator will fit, i'd say go for it, and instead of giving up and saying "it cant be done" use a bit of thinking and make it work.

    Or you could buy a new one (prob be cheaper in the long run!)
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    $100 to fix sounds quite good, better than gambling some coin on a "cheap" radiator on ebay that probably wont fit. I'd probably just go for the repair myself.

    Fit is also a problem, but what I was trying to say was that 125 radiators may not have the same fluid capacity, fins, or whatever to cool a 250 sized bike. but depends i guess.
