    Been swamped and just got around to installing the 144 kit last night. Very nice kit. Stuffing the 125 piston in the 144 barrel really shows how much is gained which seems like a lot. I knew my jetting was rich but the bike ran real good. After taking it apart it was running far richer than i thought.

    These are for Walt. It looks like the end cuts are exactly the same as the updated replacements for the 125. The only difference is the length overall.

    You need to build the assembly before dropping it in...

    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    Drop them in and then install the rod and lever. Make sure you notice the reaces hole for the set screw on the lever, install and rotate tot he positions so the set screw goes in the depression...

    Piston goes in arrow forward, ring goes on lettering up. I also install the far side pin clip before installing the piston on the rod.

    [IMG]

    Also note that there is a locating pin for the ring gap, make sure all is lined up nice before dropping the cylinder on.

    [IMG]

    Gasket goes red strip side down, can only go on one way due to the collars around the two cylinder studs.

    [IMG]

    All ready for the cylinder...

    [IMG]

    Install the bolts and button it up. then reattach the linkage arm and put the cover back on.

    [IMG]

    Kicking it over at this point slowly to make sure everything rotates well. I alway lube the cylinder a little with 2 stroke oil. Seem like it had a lot more compression. This is going to be fun. Wish the freaking rain would go away.

    That is going to be a fun bike. I've always wanted to try a 144 or 200. Small bores are fun but a lot of work. I had a yz125 (1st bike) until Oct. I like the red paint on the head.

    Kelly :thumbsup: :cheers: :applause:

    Thanks for the picks. The stock power valve has a ~5 mm sealing surface. I raised the bottom edge 3 mm and parallel to the top. Turned the motor into an extremely torquey motor below the power valve opening rpm. It actually climbs better than my WR 250 just because it finds and maintains traction on the steepest and loosest climbs motoring up below the power valve hit. I sent a gopro vid to Kevin in Boise so he could hear how the bike runs and maybe I can have him post it. My connection speed is so slow that posting a 1 gig video would be an 8 hour upload. I haven't tried chopping it up as I am new to the gopro and vids in general.

    Kelly any advice on a posting site and software for manipulating the video?

    Congrats on your new 144.
    Walt

    I use Picasa to crop the video and then to upload to youtube. Real EZ to do and all free.

    Don't forget the pin that holds the power valve rod in. It doesn't ship with the kit.

    Other than starting it up and running it up and down the black a few times i have not ridden it yet. Maybe this evening. Dunno what the jetting should be but I was rich before so I'll be richer now.

    There are several very good jetting threads here on the 125, do a search. Here is where I was at with the 125. Ran good but was a little rich the warmer it was getting. The red is probably what I will try for this kit and the changing weather.

    Year & Bike Model = 2009 WR125
    Carb = Keihin PWK 38
    Pipe & Silencer = 04 Doma pipe and PC SA
    40:1 Amsoil
    Temperature range (deg F) = 55-65f
    Elevation (feet) = 50-2500
    Main jet = 178 172
    Pilot jet = 45 42
    Needle = JD blue in the middle JD red in the middle
    Clip position = #3
    Air screw setting = 1.5 - 2
    Slide = 7
