yes i know the graphics are bad but it's got the original stickers underneath them which are in good shape
it's a 2006 not sure how many total hours, the owners before us put a hour meter on it after it got a rebuild and it read 1.1 hours before i rode it. but we are gonna give it a check over and get the suspension set to my weight for now but it cleaned up really good with abit of degreaser and scrubbing!

love the look of that track in the pics , where is the gopro footage ??
yeah the track is fun man, haha i put my practice laps on facebook but i'm too embarrassed to put them up on youtube because i'm pretty slow on it since it's the first time i've ridden/raced for 3 months and i haven't rode a 2 stroke for about a year
but i'll chuck one of the better motos up that i actually keep up to the pack on youtube and link it haha

Congrats on the CR. I am not a fan of the graphics but it's not my bike so I don't have to like themi know man i'm not either! but i'm not racing at the moment so i'm not fussed on it except all my mates give me crap about being in the mulisha hahaha
Post by: Critta on September 19, 2012, 02:38:11 PM
That's a nice tidy bike Critta, the bottom of the case and top of the cylinder is just dirt, it hasn't been washed off properly, I used stuff called Alu-brite, just dilute with water in a squirty bottle n a stiff brush, just can't mix it too strong or the Ally goes white. Look forward to the video
And I would be pullin the carby n stripping it, that doesn't look nice that dirt runnin down the back of the slide. Ya got dirt n water comin in thru the top by the looks
i'll get onto it!
haha the video is nothin special i don't ride to be the next chad reed i ride for fun which is what i had! plus someone knocked it so it wasn't sit in the right spot the whole day
yeah well i'll have to get on getting it checked over, but considering i bought it saturday raced it sunday it did alright!

not too bad. try to ride with at least one finger on the clutch at all times, although you have no slap clutching like i see in some of these vids. keep it on the up critta.my clutch is too hard to pull it in with one finger. i need to get asv levers or something

Try a new clutch cable first Logan.. Good chance it is original.

video looks great just tilt your camera up higher so we can see whats coming instead of the front mudguard :-}} great track
Post by: Critta on September 21, 2012, 12:23:38 AM
you can always tell a 2 stroke rider / racer one finger is permanently covering the clutch . i still do it now on every bike i ride weather its the twist and go scooter { covering rear brake } 450 KTM or my full blown ex factory superbike 1 finger covers the clutch .
video looks great just tilt your camera up higher so we can see whats coming instead of the front mudguard :-}} great track
haha yeah i know i used to ride like that but i started getting lesson from a ex pro rider over here and he's like you just gotta tractor it or it'll throw you off which it did when i use to rev it out and bash the clutch haha but oh well i'll sort out
i saw the footage and i gutted! someone knocked it so i just guessed where to put it, but it could of been worse haha

Post by: Critta on September 23, 2012, 02:53:02 AM
Coming off a 450 on to a 125 I'd say you did quite suberbly. One thing I might recommend is hitting the outside line a bit more often. The corner at 2:19 for example. It looks like its got a little bit of a berm on it with softer dirt. I could be completely wrong though it was hard to see. But the biggest advantage yo uhave over the 250Fs is you're ability to take outside lines faster. But don't bother if you're traveling 3 times the distance they are.
Keep it up mate
cheers champ, yeah i gotta try hit outside lines abit more riding the two stroke as i've realised after not riding one for so long, but i'm having a ball so it's awsome but i'm always trying to improve!

with plastic if your patient and want a decent challenge you can fit the newer CRF '10 -12 plastic on it. i saw a vid of a kid who did it with an 01. looked awesome
and you dont need to ALWAYS keep one on. i remember watching the Great Outdoors 2004(another perfect season) and the slow moes show stewart not riding the clutch to much...WHY you ask?? cuz his wrist was on lock down

cheers guys
The 05 CR-125R i just bought has a FMF Factory Fatty Pipe and Shorty Silencer and seems to work pretty good for me but i havent tryed anything else yet so i couldnt say on the others......Have had my eye on 1 of those cone pipes though i wont lie

it depends. If you want nothing but mid range and top end a pro circuit or FMF SST would be ideal. Be prepared to richen up your jetting a bit if you go with the FMF SST cos I've heard of people melting pistons and atleast one person on here said that they fixed that issue with a little richer jetting. Apparently its to do with the steep angle of the expansion chamber.

yeah that sounds good i used to have the hold series and the shorty on my 05, but i've been told the 06 run abit different with pipes because of something to do with the rc valve.. but i'm no mechanic so i have no idea at all haha

The vforce reed also works good, doesn,t have the low to mid boost the rad valve has tho. Youtube vid mx207 Maine state championships 2-stroke 125 class, the helmet cam is on a stock cr125, at 2.58 a mod cr125 passes him, big diff. in hp and awesome sound. Another vid is MSMC 2-stroke Class Moto 3 // uncut , 2 cr125,s pull away from everybody.
Post by: Critta on October 10, 2012, 09:12:03 AM
Congrats on the clean 06, I have the same bike. I got mine to use as a practice bike, to save my stroker crank mod 04 for races. Anyway the stock reeds floodered, get a rad valve for much better low to mid, remove reeds-then polish the inside smooth, polish intake cases too since you,ll have the reed block out, polish both sides of carb. You,ll get on the pipe much quicker, use a higher gear in corners. The older style icat, works better than the new icat ibooster, I tried them both on the 06.In the USA the stock silencers are much shorter, that long silencer is too restrictive. I tried a 03 kx HGS bud pipe, that I pounded, bent and cut to fit on my 04 cr125. The 04 has a radiator hose on the inside of the pipe, that the 06 doesn,t have. That pipe really woke it up, snappier, quicker hit then a much stronger mid pull all the way to 12,000 rpm, then with over rev to about 13,750. An honest 38-39 hp, but very easy to ride and so much more fun.
would you be able to link me somewhere i could get hold of some of that stuff?

Looks good, you could peal the melisha graphics off and run the stock graghics which look great. If your going to add a different seat cover in the future, install the seat cover over the stock cover, that,s what I do. A 04 125 seat works on a 06, it,s a tight fit tho, the 04 seat is softer and a little wider.
yeah i gotta get rid of the mulisha kit but i'm waiting until next season so i'll just beat these ones up while practicing for now and i've got a set of wheels sitting in the shed from my old bike that will look nice on it!
Post by: Stusmoke on November 01, 2012, 09:22:32 AM
Try to get a basic idea of where the dirt is good. Obviously theres no point in going three times the distance just for good dirt, but it makes your job on a hard hitting 125 a little easier.
You seem to be taking the mid line and then switching to an outside line. As in, when you enter the corner you seem to be around about the middle then you tend to head for the outside. This makes for a sharp angle of hitting the berm thats on the outside usually. I would suggest entering the corner on the outside line, leaning it right over (where appropriate) and giving it some serious juice.
Something to note: I only watched the first minute or so of the vid cos my internet is just awful. Its likely that you got better throughout the vid but thats what I picked up from my viewing.
Otherwise, looking really good, you've got excellent control and I didn't hear a single bit of bog from that awesome litlte zinger.
Nice work mate
