    Hi I've recently purchased a 2010 cr 125 that unfortunately after buying i found out requires a new cylinder, ive decided i might aswell put either a 144 or 165 kit in, as i live in australia i can only find the 144 kits over here, does anybody know where i can find a 165 kit on here? Is it definately worth going the 165 kit over the 144? also some advise on which exhausts work best would be great, ive been told over here that the HGS systems work best with the 144 kits but other opinions would be much apreciated! Would the standard system be okay for now? Also will a rejet of the standard carbie be okay? thanks andrew

    Walt has sent other 165 kits to Australia. Go with the 165.

    The KTM 200sx pipe is considered the best match for the WB165 and I believe Walt has a batch that already have the Husky style spigot and the proper mounts welded on

    Just do 165 with lectron and 200x pipe great off road bike. if your using for mx or track use 144 works good also seems biggest advantage for 165 is off road where whole set up works on low to mid more but still rips on top butt 144 rips on top also and going faster on track you do not use low to mid as much.

    yeah these blokes are all correct. 165, lectron & custom fatty pipe if you want max bottom end. still rev hard up top. stock pipe will work ok just not as much bottom. exchange rate not real good anymore but if $ no issue then go the whole lot. guess with all 3 you be looking around $2k delivered though

    Please stop teasing me........165 kit on its way. I'm now at the mercy of UPS. Postal tracking is like an advent calendar without the chocolate - every time I check it feels no closer and no treat.
    If the 165 is half as good as you all say, I'll be happy.

    Yeah I will be for now. As you covered ,exchange rate is a killer and it used all my budget. I'll look at a pipe later.
