125-200cc 04 CR125 - first ride

Drove to an area i do not ride much but was the only thing ridable right now due to unusual snow. I have to say I really liked riding the 125. The light weight in the mud made it EZ to manage. I'm really thinking evil thoughts about a 09 WR125 now.







Adam finding out trials tires suc in the mud / snow

Shotgun on sat

having ridden yours and this one I would say yours lugs better and this one has a lot more mid. It is very strong in the mid. I really like the older ergos on this bike.

It sure took some relearning after the TXC450 rekluse LTR couch. Keep it in the mid / top all day. Ride it like you just stole it and the cops are on your tail. I have to admit it was really nice having very little weight and no top heavy feeling in the slick mud. Other than a challenging hill or two I think i had just as much speed, maybe more in some sections, than on my 450. I rode with Adam whom i ride with a lot and he was having a bad day or the 125 works for me as it seemed i had to wait more than usual on the single track. he did say he was whipped form working the day before. Time / more rides will tell.

Was just about to type that. It also allows the tire to 'stay' out with what little traction there is with the sidewall flex i.e. the bike can move around a little bit without moving the tire itself.


But my trial tires don't seem that great in those conditions regardless.

Kelly - did you put up a report letting us know how the tires you sell handle?

The Motoz? Yes, there are several posts about them.

On this bike i had a kenda Trackmaster in a 19" here so I mounted that and a Kends Southwick (mud / sand) tire up. Both worked very well there.

Yes the MotoZ tires.

Did not notice how well they worked in the snow/ice/frozen ground conditions, and I followed the link to your site and saw nothing there. I probably missed it in some other threads.


Those are the conditions where I'm truly disappointed with my trials tires and if I go on this Baja trip... trials tires won't work there either.

I liked the trials tires but when putting them on I was afraid that they would not hold up as they seemed so thin. 300 miles later I tore the sidewall out. Not confidence inspiring. I also heard the rim smashing rocks to much even at 10 psi. Like the hookup on most stuff just real leery about running them again.

Norm, I really look forward to your assessment of the 09 WR125. I'm sure thinking about one now.

- anyone know if the 08 jug works on the older generation 125 bottom end? If i could put the new jug on the 04 and gain a bunch of power I would be all over that.

DUDE, how do you get yours to throw dirt

FUN is right. eeeeeee eeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
