    SO IVE DECIDED TO START DOING UPGRADES TO MY BIKE. IM STRICTLY A WOODS RIDER. ONLY THING IVE DONE IS A POWER CORE SILENCER. EVERYTHING ELSE IS BONE STOCK MINUS THE BARK BUSTERS. WHAT HAS ANYONE ELSE DONE TO THEIRS FOR IMPROVEMENTS? I LOVE IT HOW IT IS BUT OF COURSE COULD ALWAYS USE SOME MORE BOTTOM END. IM RUNNING 13/50 SPROCKETS. CANT SEEM TO FIND A GNARLY PIPE FOR IT. ANYTHING WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS. PLUS IM LOOKING FOR STOCK 100TH ANNIVERSARY DECALS. MINE ARE BEET UP.

    They don't make a gnarly for it. Only a fatty.

    Best thing I ever did to any 125 was get the jetting spot on. For me that ended up being through a lectron carb. The stock mikuni was too finicky. You can also flip the reed mount's for more flexibilty/Better low mid. Adjust the powervalve properly and keep the silencer packing in good shape.

    To me the carb upgrade made way more of a difference than upgrading to a fmf fatty ever did.

    Don't forget about suspension. Out of the box the cr suspension is quite harsh for woods riding. This would be the first thing I would do.

    First thing gear it for the woods Even for wide open desert racing I run 13/52 for super tight I run 12/52 Try a 12/50
    to start if you want bottom end and fun factor

    IM USED TO THE GEARING...BUT I WAS THINKING GOING 52 ANYWAYS. I RIDE TIGHT SINGLE TRAIL. SO I MIGHT JUST GIVE THE 12/52 A TRY.

    No Weight needed please try the gearing first you will not need anything after that

    it is a 125 why put any thing on the crank that will make it harder to rotate? I have done King of the Moto 2 times and last Dog Standing 3 times. Never did I want a weight when you find something tighter and tuffer then those event let me know.

    GETTING THE SUSPENSION TUNED FOR WOODS WOULD BE THE BEST UPGRADE YOU CAN MAKE FOR THAT BIKE!

    How is that gearing working in the woods heck start with a 12 tooth cheap quick and easy you will not even have to adjust the chain much

    Assuming top end is in good shape
    RB designs carb mods and head mods while you are at it
    fatty pipe ,
    If it needs a new top end - get a newer model top end - they come up on classifieds when people upgrade
