Very light 125
« on: October 09, 2012, 06:36:29 PM »
Just got it dont  last weekend, had a blast tesing it out..




What its made of is  a tm 125 02 motor  inn a tm 85 junior chassis.

Have also tried it on some  steep hills in the forest too.. it didn`t spin or slip up the hill like before
Could really use low revs and it would not stall

testing diffrent gearings on it..

tried 11 -48 at first go, that was a bit to easy  to wheelie.
Then i went for a 13-42(supermoto gearing)  could get lift 4th gear wide open, but the 3 and 4 had to much gap.
right now its go 13-47..seems much closer

had the bike on a  scale now, and its ruffly 33punds (15kg) lighter than other 125`s

Its not a 100% sure number but it was to get a idea of the weight redution


That model year was dyno tested stock at 38 later models from 05 got 36
highly doubt mine got that but just so you get a idea

Sorry to OP for the hijack. 
Here's all I could find, including DeCoster airing it out! They kept breaking rear fenders as the mud was too much.  The test portion of the article, I recall, was a little lame only because they picked a very muddy day to test the bike, which sort of negated the weight savings due to mud buildup.
