Soon completed!
That'll be one sweet ride when it's done...
What did you do for radiators???? I ended up wasting $500.00 on some custom built pieces of crap that won't fit in any way possible. Too thick/bulky cores.
What about the kickstarter? I ended up using a kick lever from a KX250 2 stroke if I remember correctly. Clears everything nicely with just a little clearancing near the knuckle. No room for the brake pedal return spring so I ditched it in favor of the FasstCo one.
Pop the rivets / bolts loose on the silencer and you can rotate it outwards to fill the gap between it and the side panel. Looks better that way.
And then, what did you do for the air boot?
Kickstarter is Honda CR 125 03-07.
Airboot is RM 125 05.
That pro circuit pipe is routed way higher than my De Groot pipe does!
The Shop
It's been build with as small and easy mods as possible. This for being able to get parts quick. If I crash something I want to be able to get a new part and bolt it on without modification.
If I like how it feels, there will be some serious weight taken of, as well as some more mods.
I love the engine, 2007 KX125 that are bored and ported by PBR Racing, matched cases, balanced crank, VHM head abd vforce 3 intake, but the Mikuni carb does not feel as good. There will be a Keihin swap.
I'm thinking of using 2002 kx125 electronics, and go for a 38mm Keihin PWK with powerjet.
Suspension is KX450F 2010 and is revalved with Racetech.
You can get a Lectron 38 for $315 + shipping, and I can tell you without a doubt you'd throw rocks at a Keihin after trying it. It's the same idea as the APT Smartcarb except the Lectron has an adjustable power jet for fine tuning half-to-full throttle application. No jets to change in the float bowl, just a metering rod (like a needle) to adjust, an external adjuster for the power jet and an idle screw. Best thing is once you've got it set you never have to touch it again, it's not weather or altitude sensitive.
Meanwhile in Japan (I newer get tired of this).
Pit Row
Looking forward to see the rest of the project!
*squinting
* picturing that bike.
I want to have sex with that thing.
I would have probably gone with the Mulisha kit myself, though:
Right now i am running the 36MM mikuni from a 2000 yz125 on my 04 RM144
a pwk carb.144 soon to be a 153.
