I find I am riding mine more than my 2010 TXC250 just because it is so freaking FUN**************************************** Fogging it like a mad man is just good fun. Enjoy.

- just noticed yours does not have the updated head stay mounts. Odd. It's not an issue though. New ones only have one bolt up top to eliminate breakage.

- Also looks like it has the pipe that rubs the resi.

- Lube the linkage and steering stem bearings before you ride it, with real grease.

- Might have someone go through and bleed the forks, seems like they come kinda messed up and are WAY better after done right. I may have a little present for you (Have some light springs that might work great in those for you)

- Stock skid plate is actually pretty good and like $20 it you do kill it.

- Clarke confirmed on the phone today they are making a 3 gallon tank for it.

- Not necessary but the PWK carb sure works better on it, especially with the JD needle.

- unfortunately it needs a sparky. FMF makes one.

WooooHoooo, Woodschick.

Kelly will fix you up with all the trick stuff. If I was doing it over again I would buy the PWK first thing instead of struggling to find the sweet spot on the TMX. Hee Hee, I am pretty quick to spend other peoples money.

Nice bike!

Welcome to the club. I was just thinking about whether or not you decided to get the bike...I guess it wasn't really an option though, after riding one. Now you can join us in talking about how we blew past 450s on the MX track, drag raced corvettes on the street, and placed it in your office as decoration....amazing bike, even if it only makes you feel like a hero on two wheels, ha ha.

A lot of fun ahead of you now.

Congrats on your new bike and welcome to the club. These bikes look sweeeeet even before they are fully assembled. Oh since everybody else is letting you know how you can spen a few bucks theres the EG 144 kit, Walt's spring kit, FMF pipe, and LTR suspension work.

 

[highdez1981430cr]

Nice bike !

Congrats and happy birthday.

How much do the CR 125 weigh?

 

[Dirtdame]

WC probably slept in the garage or had her new bike cuddled up between her and the hubby in bed last night.

 

[PC.]

Congrats!

Enjoy that new bike smell****************************************

I find I am riding mine more than my 2010 TXC250 just because it is so freaking FUN**************************************** Fogging it like a mad man is just good fun. Enjoy.

That's the plan! I've been goofing around on the big bikes ever since I broke my ankle and I fear I've forgotten how to ride hard I'm sure being on a 125 again will make me remember in a hurry

- just noticed yours does not have the updated head stay mounts. Odd. It's not an issue though. New ones only have one bolt up top to eliminate breakage.

So, mine has 2 bolts but it's not an issue? Weren't they part of the "upgrade" package? I didn't even think of that...

- Also looks like it has the pipe that rubs the resi.

Grr...again, there was a new pipe with the "upgrade" kit, but I guess the changes were only internal? I guess I should search for the "fix" for this.

- Lube the linkage and steering stem bearings before you ride it, with real grease.

We usually tear down our new bikes and re-do everything befor riding them. I want to get the suspension broken in a bit before sending it to Les, though, and I figured I'd regrease everything while the suspension was off. Am I gonna kill it by riding if for a few weekends? I mean, is it that bad?

- Might have someone go through and bleed the forks, seems like they come kinda messed up and are WAY better after done right. I may have a little present for you (Have some light springs that might work great in those for you)

Cool! I might need `em. I'll know more once I get some hours on it. My forks are poking up out of the clamps by quite a bit. How far up are most of you running them?

- Stock skid plate is actually pretty good and like $20 it you do kill it.

Yeah, it's cool that they put one on there at all. The fame guards are a nice touch, too.

- Clarke confirmed on the phone today they are making a 3 gallon tank for it.

Wow! Perfect timing! I probably would have bought one of these bikes a long time ago sight unseen had it been equipped with a larger tank from the factory.

- Not necessary but the PWK carb sure works better on it, especially with the JD needle.

What size PWK are you using? It seems to have a rather large carb for a 125.

- unfortunately it needs a sparky. FMF makes one.

Yeah, I didn't realize that til last night. I should have one on my porch tomorrow.


Thanks for the help, Kelly!

Walt

Yeah, thanks, Walt I'll think about the carb, but I'll see if I can get it where I want it without the PWK.

Take the camera!

I did! I forgot to take photos at the shop, though. I was too busy spending money and picking out stuff like pipes and handguards and stuff

Took these when we got home. It just looks like everyone else's stock WR125...only at night

wow that didn't take long!

Well, I'd been thinking about if for a long time. I didn't get serious til I found a good deal on a used one. Not knowing if the 125 would work for me, I couldn't pull the trigger. I PM'd Joshua the next day and asked him if I could test ride his WR. That was really all it took

I'm sure it had nothing to do with her birthday.

Nope! Nothing at all!

saweet!!!

I certainly hope not! I'm tired of breaking bones and bikes, so I figured what better gift for a 47 -year-old busted-up woman than a new 125? Congrats to you on your new bike, too

Yippy! Pics? w/you in them!

 

[Motosportz]

So it looks like you now have the one top bolt head stay? Was it in the box or something?

Thanks, Joshua. And thanks again for letting me experience all that creamy 125 goodness firsthand. I would probably still be thinking y'all were a bunch of liars if I hadn't ridden the thing myself I'm really looking forward to getting back to my "roots," as it were. The one thing I've always enjoyed about 125's is the ability to ride them hard without putting one's life in danger. They really make me feel like I know what I'm doing sometimes, and when it's right on a 125, there's really not much that can compare. Here's hoping I can find that "right" spot on this new machine

Congrats on your new bike and welcome to the club. These bikes look sweeeeet even before they are fully assembled. Oh since everybody else is letting you know how you can spen a few bucks theres the EG 144 kit, Walt's spring kit, FMF pipe, and LTR suspension work.

Thanks, john01 Les was contacted about my suspension almost 3 weeks ago, the FMF pipe should be on my porch tomorrow, I'll probably end up with Walt's springs sooner or later and I've got my eye on the factory 144 kit if Kelly will still give me the sale price That one might have to wait til it's time for a new top end, though.

Oh yeah, my new PivotPegz arrived 2 days ago I'm doomed to buy them forever, as they are a huge benefit for my funky ankle. I love `em!

Nice bike !

Congrats and happy birthday.

How much do the CR 125 weigh?

Thanks, highdez I've found everything from 211lbs dry to 222lbs dry. I'd be curious to know, though. Has anyone weighed their WR/CR125?

WC probably slept in the garage or had her new bike cuddled up between her and the hubby in bed last night.

Believe it or not we managed to wedge it into the garage last night
I should have taken a photo. Maybe tonight!

Congrats!

Enjoy that new bike smell****************************************

Thanks, PC. Nothin' finer than a new dirtbike, that's for sure

[WoodsChick]

So it looks like you now have the one top bolt head stay? Was it in the box or something?

Well, at least someone's paying attention

I don't know, the first photo was taken as it was being put together, so maybe the new stay really was included in the kit?

Anything else I missed?
