This is just a quick point to watch out for when trying to get your 125s .
I have had few of these bikes and had no issues with bog recently but I have noticed my bikes have run well with leaner pilot settings .
When I first tried the 09 model CR I t had a bog down log and a rich blubber up high. It seemed to run cleaner when I lean out the needle setting .
Going to the 144 fixed issues with bogging and to me I think it was because it sucked more air due to displacement increase.
So it doesn't seem to be a lean bog I was getting.
On my older 08 165 ( with older carb hence leaner jets) I was running a 17.5 pilot and 370 main and its always runs well but still getting fairly dark plugs. It never felt like it was starved for fuel .
However I was a bit worried about how lean the settings were and tried a 27.5 pilot and 380 main on the weekend and low and behold instead of being rich it bogged badly a couple of times . Tried letting more air in through air screw and problem fixed . Very happy with how it ran - good power.
So to me the bog was due to too much fuel at low throttle openings . Ive heard of others experiencing similar situations and saying that they felt that maybe the bikes don't breath as well as they should.
Some may say this is a load of crap but its been something Ive noticed a lot and think that others may be going the wrong way when they get this bog problem .
So worth a try -
