4/28/2026 10:27am That’s great to know! I’m still gleaning all the archived info regarding the bike, so learning all this is great. How have you liked the 150 kit? I rode a 200 for a while, but I think I still like the 125 for the lively power

4/27/2026 7:41am That's definitely a good way to go! Fingers crossed for the best, though I'll probably have the crank rebuilt soon regardless.

Try and run what comes out of that motor through a fine screen or filter of some sort and then you can see what was floating around in there. Might give you some idea as to what kind of damage was done.

Do yourself a favor too if you haven't done the carb mod with the slide and everything it will make that bike run so much better.

4/27/2026 7:38am Notching the slide? That's the only mod my googling found out. I'd be very interested in trying that out. Idle has been fine so far, but I've been hunting after a mystery low end bog, so maybe that could help.

4/26/2026 6:23pm Just looking to see if the cross hatching is fine, and what the skirt of the piston is like. It’s just a rough way of getting the lay of the land on an engine than I’ve never personally opened up. I’m definitely not going to ride the bike until it’s been rebuilt.

Not sure what the point is of looking up the exhaust port as no way to tell if everything looks fine. If you passed dirt through the motor it did accelerate the wear on everything, so rebuild it now before it blows up and ruins the cylinder.

4/26/2026 10:37am Thanks for the excellent advice! For the sake of budget, I’ll try and get away with just cleaning out any of the grit. Hopefully I can save up and get the crank rebuilt later this season. Since there’s only 70 total hours of very easy riding by the prior owner, I’m not too worried about the rest of the bottom...

4/25/2026 9:50pm Hi all, I've got a new (to me) as of last fall 2016 TE 125 that I've put some decent hours on. It's still got the stock top end in it around 70 hours, and I'm planning on switching that out very soon. I went to do some work after a recent ride, and found a small gap in the...

2/18/2026 5:37pm I bumped into him after the race at Glendale getting dinner. Such a good natured guy. He was coming off a disappointing result and still took the time to say hi to myself and the others in my group. Hopefully this helps re-fire some of the speed he has coming back from the break.
SomeoneSuperRandom Started a new thread Selling a bad bike
5/31/2025 6:04pm Hey all, I've sold a 2015 KX250f recently that has been sitting for a while. I hopped on and rode it several times to make sure everything was working, but overall, had zero time to do any detailed overview and look inside the engine. I sold it at a very competitive price for my current area's market, some $400-500 cheaper...

4/11/2025 11:17pm Ever seen the payouts for a mountain bike downhill national? Elite mens get €3,750 for a win. Junior categories (sometimes putting down race runs as fast as elites) don't even reach four digits.
SomeoneSuperRandom Added a reply to Phantom power issue (2005, YZ 125)
2/13/2025 11:45am It's cutting power when at operating temp, and doesn't improve at all when warmer. The float has been spot on. I did replace the stator a year ago and it has excellent spark. As said in a a different reply, I just realized it may be the powerjet in the lectron carb. I've got the stock carb, but it isn't...
SomeoneSuperRandom Added a reply to Phantom power issue (2005, YZ 125)
2/13/2025 11:42am I'll be home this weekend and can diagnose. Wiring should be all good. Fuel is working correctly. I just realized it could be the powerjet in the lectron carb. It might be tuned way too rich and is flooding the engine when pulling vacuum. I returned the lectron to their recommended tuning settings after the top end, accounting for elevation...

2/12/2025 9:58pm By absolutely no means am I a profesional, but I've been told by a good friend who is an unbelievably talented PT doctor who specializes in injury prevention, that "strength" doesn't necessarily reduce an injury. This of course isn't the case where they need strength to wrestle a bucking bike back into line. I feel I grew up with the...

2/12/2025 8:03pm Hey all, I've got an odd issue going on with a new top end on a yz 125. It was running alright before the top end, definitely lower on power. The new top end went well, nothing to note, and I did the full recommended break in, also tuning the Lectron carb a bit richer since that was an issue...

2/10/2025 1:39pm Hardly a devil's advocate stance, but the sponsor segments are what make it free. Same with youtube, same with the web banners on vital. Of couse that doesn't require that you love every second of the ad segment, but don't call something freely distributed "crap"
