Bike is coming along great. I wish i would've kept my 06 and redone it.
Still need to mount tires to my wheels and then it will atleast be a roller. From there, I will pry have the motor done in March or April once I’m back to work!
The Shop
Doc says I can ride in about 4 months too, so pretty pumped on that.
As far as the bike, it’s finally into a roller. Next step is to get all my Galfer brake rotors, pads, and lines.
Still trying to figure out what I want to do with the motor. Been thinking about putting a different year motor in the 04 frame to get rid of the cable power valve. What are your guys opinions on the best year for a cr125 motor?
eBay score! Basically brand new raptor pegs!
Motor is completely apart, being a new Oem crank, main bearings, seals, etc in it. And then going to send the cylinder off to Millennium and have it fixed and bored to an over size piston. And I will be placing an order with my WPS rep to get the rest of my motor parts.
Plan is for a big bore, stock crank, full Hinson clutch, v force reeds, possibly a lectron carb, with a Bud Racing pipe and silencer!
With the motor apart and the cylinder getting ready to be sent off and waiting for everything else, I am cleaning up the center cases and will have the right side cover, clutch cover, water pump, and ignition cover cerakoted!
Here’s the cases before cleaning.
I actually just took my 04 out today for the first time in years and it was fun!!! I ended up putting the keihen carb on and the newer air boot, and the bike definitely performed a lot better. The power band is still narrow and it's not easy to go fast, but it's so much better than it was. You aren't going to compete with the new KTM/huskys no matter what you do, but the improvement is absolutely noticeable.
I have a little bit of a parts hord for these things since I was planning on piecing together a motor with parts from the best years, but I ended up deciding against it. DM me if you'd be interested in it, since you're only down in Fresno maybe we can arrange a spot to meet and pick up the parts.
With the center cases started; the right side cover, the clutch cover, water pump cover, ignition cover, and power valve covers are all at the cerakoter getting som magic done! Supposed to be able to pick those up next week.
Still waiting on my piston to come in, to send off the cylinder to get fixed and bored.
Pit Row
Mean while, I received the rest of my parts. New OEM crank, gaskets, seals, and bearings. Full Hinson clutch set up. V force 3 reeds. +2 Wiseco racers choice piston.
Bottom end of the motor is back together! Just waiting on the cylinder and piston to get back from millennium and that will finish off the motor.
Besides the motor, added a light speed carbon disc guard. Looks bitching on there. And had a buddy make up a bracket for a Honda stabilizer I had laying around!!
Waiting on Millennium for my cylinder. Should be back any time.
Then my cylinder showed up after that and got it to my motor builder. Was able to pick it up today! And had some time today so got it in the frame!
If anyone has any ideas of what may be going, please let me know with any advice! Aside from that, if I can’t fix it within the coming days, the whole bike is going to who built the motor to see if he can figure it out.
Sucks, I’m so ready to ride it!!
