Title: 2006 CR125 Build complete!
Post by: Howorks on February 26, 2011, 11:01:32 AM
Just finished my son's next ride and thought I would share some pics with some 2 stroke enthusiasts.  Bought the bike bone stock for $1,800.  It was totally mint and had only been ridden a couple time, then the owner crashed (bent bars) and sat in his garage for 4 years.  It really was a great find.


Some of the mods:

I was just looking at that closeup, and it looks like there is something wrong with the bolt holding the rear brake lever. It's sticking out a little. Same thing happened to my bike. It snapped in half...

Thanks all.

The carbon covers are hard to find now.  They were made by a company that no longer exist.  Try ebay

I checked the rear brake bolt and its in there nice and tight- Thanks for the heads up thought.

I can't believe what a difference the Keihin carb on the snappiness of the bike.  It really rips just like his 85 and supermini.

Seriously?
a seat bump on a 125?
 HA HA HA HA!!

it is obviously a scoop out of the foam to lower the seat hieght, but at first glance i spit my coffee on the key board laughing.
It really is a nice bike, let us know how that CArbon fiber clutch cover holds oil, I hear they warp when the get hot and leak.

And welcome to the forum.

Glad to provide some humor.  Amazing what you can do with an electric knife and a dremel.

The rider is 12 years old, so he needs a little help touching the ground.

Here are a couple videos of the rider:

Oh cool, you guys are in Washington. Did you go to Port Angeles last weekend? I thought I saw an 85 that looked like that... But it wasn't running right. Probably not jetted for the cold temp.

We live in Camas, WA.  But didn't go to Port Angeles.  We will be going to the P.R.O race next weekend at Horn.

Very sharp cr125 rare find in new condition. I see the rad valve too, there great for low to mid improvment. With the 36mm carb you must be going for a quicker responding motor. I saw the carbon fiber covers,forsale in western Canada, a carbon and fiber glass mix, very sharp. I have 2 cr125,s my 06 is stock motor,with rad valve, pc silencer, icat  improves throttle response alot.

Since my son is riding 85's and superminis right now he complained that the stock CR125 rev a little slow.  The rad valve and carb did the trick.

Tell me more about the icat?  Seen them but not familiar with their function.

Not too bad considering I got the bike for $1,800.  But it turned out ok.

The icat screws into the coil wire and spark plug wire. It changes the pulse of the coil, improves throttle response, jetting, they claim fuel economy,etc. Throttle response is improved alot, makes the bike rip in the mid range, it,s basically the same as a after market ignition. Last summer I tried to order a icat from motosport,the sales guy was surprised that they didn,t carry them anymore. They said there a smaller unit coming out,with a different name. I found a icat in Alaska,the shipping was a bit steep. Your cr125 is  HOT, your kid is gonna Love it, the owners kid of factoryconnection rides a cr125, they handle amazing. You can run up to 110mm of sag and it will corner like it,s on rails yet. JM racing builds the fastest super mini in the country, and the fastest cr125,s  if your looking to mod the motor. JM racing helped SRS with there motor program when 125,s where racing world champ., he built Ryan Dungee,s RM125, Josh Grant,s cr125,s Team grean,s KX125,s, etc.  He built my 04 cr125 porting,carb borred to 40mm, then I had a stroker crank installed,with a 2mm overborred cylinder, it,s a big track engine  built for millville, 22 lbs. of torque-40 plus hp, it eats KTM 150 for lunch. :o

ST, that sounds like a great bike you got. Are you still gonna sell one of them?
I had no idea about that history. Thanks for the info.

No I,m keeping both cr125,s  I don,t have time to sell one. My days off are teus,wed. or wed. thurs.,I won,t have weekend days off until the riding season is over. I have to do rail training yet, I wanted to get it done right away,but a trainer wasn,t available. I know where the rail yards r in Chicago,but I need a trainer to get on railroad property,I need to get finger printed,get a picture of my eye ball, and get my personal code assigned by the r.r. The good news is the higher the fuel price goes, the busier we get in intermodal. The co. delivered over 1 million intermodal loads in 2010, no other co. is close to that #, so I,LL be busy. I might ride the mod bike to get it setup better,but the 06 cr125 is the bike I,LL be riding  on a regular basis.
