125-200cc new to the forum and new husky owner

hello from sunny England. i've been thinking of starting ridding again after i retired from racing three years ago. i rode four strokes towards the end of racing and to be fair i became bored. anyway i was reading a copy of motocross action just last week and there was an article about buying 2 strokes and re-building them. they chose a kx 125 and bored it to 144. it got me thinking, and i started to check ebay to see what was around. i found this 2008 husky cr 125 for the low sum of £720. i purchased it and now the re-build begins

the original ebay photos where terrible and the bike is far better that i thought. as an added bonus it has been a well prepped race bike in the past. i shall strip the motor over the next few weeks. there are some parts missing from the carb (slider needle spring) no idea why lol and i need radiator and fork guards.
can anyone recommend a good supplier of oem parts here in the uk.
im hoping the buzz of a 125 will give me the boost i need to race again

Welcome, congrats on the purchase. For carb parts I used Allens when I was living in the
UK:

I'm sure others can chip in on where to find the other parts you need.

Don't forget to post photos of your rebuild!

Welcome, what a cheap bike, £720! You'd have paid more than twice that for a Yam or KTM. Husky Sport or SS Racing are both good sources for genuine parts but there are a couple of chaps on eBay who advertise loads of bits for Husky's, lots of models share many of the parts.

Hi

welcome to the forum

the bike is indeed a good priced one.

what are you riding? track or single trail?

there are few nice mods out there depending what you want to do.

transforming it to a 144 is nice but a 165 is nicer and a 177 is in development

hey guys
northern center motocross meetings for me. i have found a very helpful husqvarna dealer quite close to me here in Cumbria http://www.southlakesoffroad.co.uk/
as far as mods go im over 13 stone and im a little worried the 125 may struggle and its been a long time since i rode a tiddler. im yet to check over the top end but if any work is needed it would be rude not to go 165. who could help me with this

Send Kelly @ Motosportz a pm or e-mail. He will get you fixed up with all the details. You send me your top end and I do the work and return. If you don't want a long down time I can build you one with a core charge that would be refunded when I receive your parts. Several riders in the UK with the 165.

what a result, popped the head off today as you never know what nastiness lies within and find this

av done a quick check and its a 144cc +1 with new piston and sleeve.
I've not started it yet as i like to prep things properly before use.
I've noticed there is a wire hanging loose and which appears to be connected to the kill switch

question is what should it connect to?

Most logic for me is that you connect it to the frame and see if it starts

if not check your kill switch button for a proper functioning

just ride that baby as is
