Was it months of intense negotiations to make sure it was viable for both parties or did it just make sense from the offset? (and there must be some stories...

Does anyone know how...

12/29/2015 1:15pm Thanks for the reply, so the idea behind it is Thread all the way through socket up against bearing with a washer and nut behind it Tighten nut so it pushes up against the washers, thus pushing the bearing Is that about right?

10/12/2015 5:07am Hi guys, So little accident over the weekend with my upper clamp. Was trying to remove the handle bar clamp mounts but they would not budge at all, almost seemed siezed on ( by the way is there a way to remove these? ). So had to resort to angle grinding the bolts off to remove, in the process though...

10/9/2015 12:16am Hi Guys, Apologies for not updating this sooner, the issue seems to have been resolved but we (@Spydee112) are not sure how. We took the card off again, sprayed more carb cleaner to clear all nooks and crannies, put everything back together and now now more fuel leaking, very strange but fixed (for now) Thanks for all who replied, hopefully...

9/17/2015 1:21am Hi Been out a few times now on my kx125 and something I have noticed is a lack of power in 1st and 2nd, especially corners. I know that this is a common thing with 125's, to compensate I can increase the teeth on the rear sprocket or Lower the amount of teeth on the front sprocket. I currently have...

9/14/2015 4:02pm Thanks for the reply, I do understand that a 125 is meant to be ridden up top, but I just wanted something there to help me out :-) I'll leave the countershaft sprocket at 13, and try the 52 rear... I can always put it back if it doesn't work out, thanks for the advice, appreciated
