With MXA proclaiming the GYTR kit is the absolute best, Ping on the rooftops screaming about the PC engine he has (RV's 125 ride in 2019), how does one choose what direction to go in?
I love the stock powerband, but a touch more power and some more over rev would help carry my plus sized body a bit easier. I no longer race other than VMX and yes, I have more cc's in my 2019 FC 350 to move me along. So, this is all about fun, and not just outright HP numbers.
But unless you are dead, there is nothing like a 125 at full song (groan in my case) to make you heart fill with glee.
Anybody have real world feedback with real world dollars that might help me sort this out?

I had him port and set up for t2 my yz125. For only about $400 the difference is absolutely amazing. Stock bore.
Took him off my radar in 1989 when he said he could fix my CR 250 forks and they were worse than stock after I got them back. And that would seem impossible if you ever raced with the stock 1989 CR 250 fork.
I will give him a call too.
I do want to keep my bike a 125. I have no interest in boring or long stroking this engine.

Have heard good things about TMR as well. PC providing only two options (race fuel or pump) doesn't work for me, but would consider them reputable as well. Call around and see who can have it back with quickest turnaround. If tuners are slammed like new bikes sales and accessories, that may impact your decision as well.
Tom Morgan never worked on my suspension, it was Mike McAndrews. For some reason, I completely lost my mind.
Sorry to all.
I have about $3000 in the Yamaha and it is the best bang for the money.
I do like the idea of a 150, but I certainly would want to ride one first.
Fast forward to the Twenty first century and the VMX group I was racing with opened up a class up to 1989. I went looking for a 1989 CR 250 as I loved that bike (hated the forks) and wanted to take that trip back in time.
Found an awesome low hour bike.
Well, the forks were incredible. Now, I know that sounds insane Lostboy, but I was not the only one to say this. Someone, somehow fixed those shit stick and they were flat out perfect.
After quite a few seasons, a VMX buddy wanted the bike, I sold it with the caveat he gives me first shot if he sells it. Well, he hated the forks and had them revalved, now I hated them. Another buddy approached me and wanted to buy the bike, same deal. Now it came back to me with 2007 CRF 250 forks. I need to ride this bike soon.
Thank you.
Where did you get your HGS pipe from?
Who milled the head, and to what spec?
Pit Row
Between you, Johnny Ringo, alien, YZ133rider, I did receive the real world feedback I asked for.
I did get quite a few referrals, and this will give me some more to think about.
Thank you all that posted.
Gytr must works fine but it's expensive.
For a cheap cost, you can try this :
Vhm head with 100 c dome
Vforce 4
Hgs pipe and silencer (bud racing USA sells it)
bored mikuni to 40mm
Gytr ignition flywheel
It gonna cost you way less than gytr kit and you're gonna have a great and strong motor.
(I had 4 different cylinder head, 6 different pipes, two carbs and 3 different cdi, so I tested many parts)
Gytr pipe seems to be made by hgs, the silencer is made by messico.
Middle inertia vhm crank works well too.
There are some caveats like making sure your engine is running strong before you put it on. If you decide to run oxy fuels baseline jetting won't usually work which is where some of the tuning complaints come from if you google it. That said, every single person in our circle that has bought one or tried one of our bikes with one has been amazed. For $120 for a carb of Ebay + $300 for insert there is no other mod that will come close. I've bought 6 personally. Bonus is you can run a basically stock motor & regular fuel for reliability.......
