SOURCE: I have a 95 yz 125 head and 98 yz 125 bottom end.

You have a 50/50 chance that they will work okay. All the mounting holes need to line up and the cooling holes as well. Get a head gasket for the '98 and see if all lines up. Will the exhaust pipe fit the '95?

SOURCE: How do I take off the Magneto off a 2003 Yamaha 125

If replacing the piston pin bearing no splitting is needed. If replacing the crank pin bearing splitting is needed. You knew that I am sure but I had to clarify. The flywheel is held in place with one washer and a nut on the end of the crank. Timing is accomplished with a woodruff key on the shaft. Using a flywheel puller tool is the proper method. It is a simple and low cost tool and it sounds like you have enough knowledge of engines to need one now and in the future. In a worst case scenario, use a mallet, striking the flywheel on four points around the perimeter of the wheel and in an "outward" direction. With some luck the flywheel will pop loose.

When you are purchasing the flywheel puller, buy a case splitter also. Also reasonably low cost, it makes the splitting clean and easy. I strongly suggest you install new crank bearings and seals. Whatever caused the crank pin bearing to go bad did not do the crank main bearings any good either. I would hate to see you have to split the case again eight weeks from now.

How are you planning to separate the crank halves, re-assembly and truing of the crank? The dealer should do this part. I can't find a free repair manual on the web but the next best is a parts diagram. Go to the site below where you can see a parts diagram for your specific bike. You will select the actual brand, year, model, etc., once you go to the site. Part numbers and prices are also shown. You can order parts from this site. In the event no price is shown on a particular part, the part is not in stock.

SOURCE: how do i decode yamaha yz 125 engin id number

You don't decode it. It is only a production run series number. Mororcycles are like cars in that respect. It is the frame number, AKA the "VIN number", is what carries all the information. Call a dealer with the frame number and he can tell you year, paint color, specific model and more. They may have a problem if the bike is too old. Yamaha changed to a newer code system a few years back.
Can I get a “very helpful” rating on this answer?

www.bikebandit.com
It's one of the few that has a diagram.
Not sure what you mean by anti-rattle? The springs are for the pressure plate, and allow the clutch to grab, so you can go.

YZ 125 Keeps burnig piston & Ring on Exhaust side cant find problem on 4th or 5th piston & ring

only reason would be your running too lean. which causes more heat, which causes pre-gnition and pinging. Also if timing is off you create more pressure which in turn causes more heat
