125-200cc cr125 top end rebuild kit?

Hey everyone,

Been in-active quiet a while, and wanting to get back into riding, can someone point me in the right direction of sourcing a top end rebuild kit with gaskets for my 2013 CR125?

Also, my rear shock is also quiet sagged. Would winding up the coil or adding air improve this?

The shock probably need a rebuild and it contains nitrogen not air. You could try adding nitrogen since it has been sitting it may fix it and it isn't to expensive.

Hi Elias,
You may be able to go OEM, thru Husqvarna but watch out for price. Wossner also do a complete range of aftermarket gear for top end rebuild, they are as good or better than OEM. piston rings, little end and gudgeon plus circlips and gasket set. You will need to pull yours down and ascertain piston size, usually marks on top of piston signify size via a,b,c,d. see bikes and bits website.

re rear suspension.
go to kroozetune website and look at what they recommend for setting sag. if you are over 80-90kg chances are you are too heavy for standard spring which I think is a 4.8 look on this site for what standard is although US bikes may be different.

Wossner rebuild kit is good quality. Just rebuilt mine and everything fit real well. A little hard to find, but I contacted them directly and they were very helpful

Cheers for your help. Should be able to obtain the piston size by pulling the head off and looking on top of the piston?

Also, i'm 79kg, i'll go to that website and check out details about setting sag. Cheers for your help!

Interesting, i thought they'd be air. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks i'll check it out! Wossner seems to be the go. How much did you pay for the kit? Gaskets etc everything included?

Nitrogen is best but you can uuse air, though it's probably the spring. The bladder charge has nothing to do with suspending the bike and I'm 65kg and had to go heavier on the back, lighter on the front. They're not well balanced from the factory

Yeah it has always been a big sagged in the back from the day i got it with only 20 hours on it

there is a basic sag adjustment for these, do you have the owners manual to check the baseline?
if the adjuster is way past half way you will need a stiffer spring
if it way less than half way you should get a lighter spring
this is based off the factory recommended sag check

I've been watching this one for a while. Has everything you need for $152 delivered! Check all ya linkage/shock/swingarm bearings are ok & greased then yeah get the right weight spring & shock oil/gas change

I thought the engine run was from 1998-2014, but then again we did not receive 1997 models in the US.

I think you're right it'll just be a stuff up on their behalf. Hard to get good info on Italian Huskies.

Do you think that piston would be of good enough quality?

Cheers

I'm running one!

Sweet! Guess rip my head off a measure what size piston i need?

i used Mitaka/Aoki Pistons for Years with only good results.

u can also run a Honda CR125 from the mid 90s or a yz125 05- but for the yz piston the cyl.head needs to be machined.

is your bike still running?

No!

Haha ya pair of dicks. Incidentally it died the other day but haven't washed it to look for problem yet. I'm suspecting ignition or stator but hoping just a wire
