    I have a 2013 CR 125, quite a nice bike to ride but when I do ride it I struggle to kick it over, fine on a stand, possibly due to short legs. It seems like you have to give it 2 to 3 quick kicks to spin the motor. I was going to try and move the kicker round slightly but can't budge the bloody thing. All this is making me want an electric start, I have just bought an IMS tank and FMF fatty, if I hadn't bought that it definitely would of gone after the weekend and the bottom tad hose split. Rant over.

    Fix your squish band and it will start first kick every time.

    Problem solved

    Thanks guys, will check the squish, what works best, I have got a second hand 150 cylinder I would like to put that on it. I am 5'8" with a 29" leg, so might look into that option

    I'm 5'6" with the same inseam :banana:

    1mm squish, just machine it off the surface of the head, don't touch the chamber. They have really low compression stock so taking a bit off helps a lot.

    i used different base gaskets to get the squish set, and fiddled with the carb, changed the needle...
