General Two Stroke Talk / Any YZ125 owners?
« on: September 18, 2010, 04:07:05 PM »
I am in the market for a newer bike than my 1988 since I can't get some parts for it (suspension, flywheel weight, bigger tank; basically stuff to make it a better trail bike). I was thinking about a 200cc or even a 250cc if I found a deal which I haven't around here, but I keep coming back to how much I enjoy riding 125's. The only two things I don't like about my 1988 KX125 is the power can be explosive so it's easy to lose traction on technical hills and sometimes on bigger hills with a turn right at the bottom or in the middle, it can struggle. So I am trying to decide I just want to buy a newer 125 and add a flywheel weight, and maybe a 134-144 kit in it, and set up the suspension for my weight or just got with a bigger bike. I see a lot of YZ125's in 1999-2002 range in my price range (Which is only about $1500max).
