I'm looking at a CR125....

Anyone have any experience with them?  Any gremlins to watch out for?

That's a high theft motorcycle.  Leave it where K3 can get at it, and it'll be gone! ;)

1997

  Sweet, nice choice, '97 is a pretty good year for CRs. There really are not too many gremlins in 97s except for steering head and swing arm bearings. If the previous owner did not properly clean/grease you'll simply have to replace them. Not a bad idea anyway. A lightened flywheel will help keep the revs up w/o stalling and improve bottom end response. We sold a '95 CR500R that had a fork swap from a '96 preferred unit. Wish I'd never sold it. That bike rocked the US Forrest Service world. ;D

Alexa,

I see you keep two browsers open...   ;D

[spyderchick]

No, I have several "tabs" open. I can actuall look at unlimited sites with the firefox browser.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

[EX#996]

LOL!!!!

I really should go out and get some stuff done, but this is so much more fun!

 ;)

[spyderchick]

I was thinkin' the same thing. I'll be working all weekend anyway... ::)

love the 2 smoke 125s for the light weight but I find that with hills and tight woods riding the diesels are a lot better and looking to replace my RM125 with a YZF250F or the RM-Z250 4 stroke.
Also for max performance the 2 smoke need to have rings replaced every 5-10 hours and piston every other ring change. For me that meant every weekend of riding the pistons needed to be replaced I was bad about it and stuck a power valve and ruined piston and cylinder. Kicker is the diesels are still so new they are more expensive than a 2 smoke whch can be found a few years older.
Other good thing about the smoker is easier starting but you can find MX diesels with electric start

'97 CR125 have a funny space between 2nd and 3rd gears...a big gap...

[EX#996]

Well, I went to look look at a Honda and ended up with this.....    ;D



Rebuilt forks
Rebuilt rear shock
new sprokets & chain
new plastics
new tires

... and taken care of and gone through by an 'ol dirt tracker (63 years old) who was selling it because, "my hip and knee are getting a bit sore."

Anyone care to guess how much I paid for it.   :)

   Hey hey!!! Nice catch....Kawasakis for $600 Alex?

Nope, guess again!

Paul won't have to touch a thing on this bike.  Every little thing was gone through....  You should see the Triumphs he has rebuilt, is rebuilding, and his latest pick up for the street, a Triumph Daytona 1200.

No, it's a KX125.

We paid $1000.00 for it.  Basically except for a little green paint missing on the side, the bike is brand new.

OK. Here's the deal. We get some busses and line them up. The one that can clear the most wins. Or something like that. :-*
