125-200cc 195lb rider on 2001 CR125

I currently ride @ 07 CRF450X, and I am looking for a fun bike to ride around with some of my "less experienced" friends. I found a 01 Cr125, with and 18" rear wheel, guards, skid plate .. etc, basically set up for woods riding.

My question is can I set up the suspension for a 195lb rider? Can I buy springs that will work with my weight? I bounced around the forum a bit but could find any specifics ...

For woods you can use the stock springs with a LTR revalve of the forks.

I race an 02 Wr125 and I'm at least 195#

I can run rings around my big 4stroke with my tiddler.

Watch it now...I got a new 08 Husky CR125 a few years back as my play bike for my 07 Honda 450R. The Honda and a few others have been sold and I'm still loving my now WB165. BTW I'm 200 lbs and even in stock trim the little 125 was a blast; go for it.

Wont be a problem. I am the same exact weight as you without gear. Plenty of options.

And John is correct. I also bought my WR125 while owning a CRF450. The CRF is now gone.

Great bike and you can always step it up to the 144 or the great 165. I am same weight and it is just plain flat out fun and my WR 250 gets jealous all the time.

Exactl!!, With gear, I'm probably around 235. I came of an 08 450R, and like Kelly said. She's been parked in the garage for months with a paddle, and flag mounted up. The only time I'd put a knobby on is for strictly hill-climbing days, but with my new WB165 kit coming, I don't even know if I'll do that anymore....

I just got back from riding my daugters CR144, and I can assure you that you won't disappointed in the power of these bikes. I weigh in at a portly 210ish, 230ish with gear, did I mention how easy the bike is to handle?

Geez, ease up on the cheetoz there bro...



Later,

No Doubt... As I'm sitting here eating a bag of Jelly Beans...
