I have a 62 year old friend battling throat cancer. I'm sure he'd rather die on the track than at home in bed from his cancer. I know I would.

BMB.......fine looking machine. i see you used the later model fenders. I did the same. If you plan to ride/race the bike, pull those forks up in the triples, about 3". It will corner MUCH better and not handle like a "chopper". Sitting on the bike, the rake angle will be even more noticeable. The 38mm forks on those bikes are extremely longer than the 43's I adapted on my bike.

Rode a '79 250 back in day, darn good bike. Got back into MX in '09, bought a '79 to ride VMX. It was a low hour stocker when I began modding it over the years. Now with 43mm forks, DLS front brakes, racetech suspension, rear shock dual spring, reservoir. No engine mods.......it has loads of power. Even the vintage "squid kids" ride it and are impressed.

bmb Started a new thread YZ125 sits low in rear
10/2/2014 5:20am I just bought my daughter a 2006 YZ125. It looks like it is squatting in the rear about an inch or two when I got it. There is only 12 inches between the rear tire and the rear fender. I had the suspension revalved for her weight and I have set the sag. The shock was normal and feels great...

10/2/2014 2:52am I thought it was the shock when I bought the bike. Sent it to be revalved and resprung for her 120lbs. I told him to look and see if it had been lowered with the shock. He said everything looked good. Not lowered there. Sag is set at 100. Sag has been checked after 3 rides, still 100. Bike on...

10/1/2014 6:00pm No. The linkage looks OEM Yamaha. Could it be off a 250f or something?
