I thought so. Like I said both my YZ250 and CR125 made a similar noise.
Ha.
What color is the plug?
White shes running lean. I already knew this I just wasn't sure if it was a lean noise or a normal one.
Thanks guys.

Isn't that under warranty? Ride the p!ss out of it and if it breaks use the warranty if its got one. If not, ride it hard anyways, its a new bike

They have, or atleast mine did, a selective warranty which basically means an ultra limited warranty. Obviously pistons/rings, oils, air filters etc etc etc aren't covered on a motocross bike but crankcase failure, crank failure within some small amount of time, and most other limited wear parts are covered according to my warranty booklet.

im pretty sure all motocross bikes are 30 day warranty try pulling the clutch in see if the noise goes away a little bit.
Seems silly. I could do alot of damage in 30 days. Particularly to a 125
In your signature, you say you have a 450 sx? 2003? I didn't realise KTM jumped on the 450 four stroke bandwagon that soon.

I think ya paranoid Stu, they all sound like it, the shock spring on my 01 used to vibrate on my 01 from new, first time I heard it I shat n thought It was gunna blow up til I seen the spring vibrating.

You're not just realising my paranoia NOW are you?
Yeah all is fine, you can't hear it from the saddle on idle. The only way I can make it out is when its idling I would guess because the higher rev just makes it into a smooth consistent sound.
