CheckpointGnarly Started a new thread yz125 loss of compression after new rings

10/23/2015 4:40pm Thanks for the detailed post! Honestly I probably didn't give it as much time to warm every time I rode which makes sense after reading that, I'll definitely be more stringent in the warm up's next spring. I've got everything apart now and taking it to a motor shop next week to get measured up, and honed and piston to...

10/21/2015 1:25pm yea the piston will be replaced for sure, i'm in the works of finding a shop that will check my cylinder and give it a quick hone for me. it was brand new about 30 hours ago so it shouldn't be too worn out. hopefully i wont have any more problems with it in the spring. the whole bike is...

10/19/2015 6:10pm i'll have to try and borrow a bore gauge from someone and double check on that, the cylinder is was just replaced by the last guy who owned it over last winter, probably only has about 30-35 hours on it since then

10/19/2015 2:36pm That's what I thought too, just seems odd that I've got 2 or 3 buddy's running 50:1 in their yz' all year long with no proble a

10/19/2015 1:59pm ive been running 32:1 all summer, was out the other day with some friends who have had 2 stroke yz's for many years and they said they've been running 50:1 forever... i was skeptical but decided to give it a try on sunday, rode for about 10 mins with 50:1 before she died. i can run my finger around the...
CheckpointGnarly Started a new thread hard time identifying year of my yz125
9/12/2015 6:25pm So i bought a yz125 a while back and everything has been smooth sailing so far. when i bought it i was told it was a 1998. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago i needed to get new sprockets and the rear shows up and isn't even close to fitting, after some confusion and a bit of research it...

CheckpointGnarly Added a reply to 98 yz125 fork swap questions
7/28/2015 2:03pm thanks for the offer! but i think i've actually found another set locally off an 03 yz250 which if I've done my research correctly, should fit right up, and has stiffer springs which isn't a bad thing since i'm definitely on the heavy side for a yz125 anyways.
CheckpointGnarly Started a new thread 98 yz125 fork swap questions
7/28/2015 2:03pm the fork on my 98 yz125 is toast and i need to get a new one, i've found a fork off a 2004 yz250 for a pretty good price. i'm pretty sure the fork tube diameter is different so i dont think i can use the same tree, but if i got the whole tree set up with the tree...
