    Hello all!
    I'm setting up my recently purchased 2001 CR125 for woods riding. I have geared it down (13/50), it has a JD Ignition with the fast/faster switch, Pro Circuit pipe and silencer, and the jetting is...getting there. I'm still searching for more low end power, and have read about reed spacers and exhaust spacers. Has anyone on here used one or both? Would it be more beneficial to use one over the other, should I use both, or are they garbage? Any other recommendations for some low end grunt?
    Any and all input is appreciated, Thanks!

    A big bore kit is something I definitely will consider in the future, but that's really a lot more than I care to spend right now, over half of what I paid for the bike. Maybe those carb blade inserts would help?

    not sure what else you could do to the little bikes? perhaps ensure squish is correct & play with PV setting/ignition timing? short of big bore you pretty well done it all with gearing & exhaust. keep eye out for 2nd hand 144 kit or 165 if you can spring for it.

    Go search Husky Forum on Thumper Talk. There are 2 threads on mods for '04 CR125's. They were the biggest Husky threads on TT ever!

    Ahaha, only paid $1k for the bike and so far I'm in it $1300 total. I've never owned a small displacement two stroke and never converted one from MX to enduro style. Guess I had no clue what I was getting into! Its definitely one of the most fun factor for the dollar bikes I've had though.
    Also, I need to replace the right fork seal, does anyone know of a write up on these forks? I have the manual, but its calling for a special tool marzocchi makes that seems unobtainable...
    Thanks for the help, guys!

    If it has the stock forks you just need an impact gun and 45mm fork seal driver.
