Hello,
A customer of mine just bought a CR125 from us. He wanted a light, revy, two stroke for the woods. A WR would have probably been better, but I only have a CR. This guy is an amazing rider, and some of the bikes he has built for him self are even more amazing. He liked what I did to his Ducati so much, he wants me to prep his CR. I am out of my knowledge zone with this bike. I am a Ducati guy, and all my offroad bike experience is with 4 stroke husky's. I think we have so like 10 two strokes in the last 3 years and all of them went to experienced two stroke guys who set them up themselves.
Here are my questions:
Should we switch to a WR ignition module? Or buy the one Ferracci sells? Is there a better one?
Should I put a different exspansion chamber on? If so, What one?
What muffler should we get him? He needs a spark arrestor on it.
It has a 19" rear wheel. I think he will run that for a bit, but then have us lace up an 18.
Of course we will put proper hand guards and a bash plate on it.
I am not sure about the gearing. It may be fine, but he will have to ride it first to know.
I think I can get the suspension set up for him. I know he likes a fairly soft bike, and we is a little stocky guy who probably weighs about 175.
Any CR or general two stroke tips would be helpfull. I want the bike to work perfect for him. He is putting his dad to sleep this week (yes, like an old dog, Oregon has assisted suicide) after a quick and painfull bout with lung cancer. I think he is probably going to toss a few bikes in his truck (1948 COE on an F250 drive train !!) and head to warmer weather to get his head together.
If time was not an issue, I would probably have Uptite make me one of his 166 kits. At the dealer meeting, I road the CR in the woods quite a bit and loved it. Malcom Smith stated it was one of his favorites besides the TXC 250.
