All 2st Please post pictures of your 2 stroke bikes.

I'll be posting a pic or two, very soon.

Meanwhile...back at the ranch.....

Thats not your 300...

No....it's my 125.

Well....I'd been thinking about it for a long time. I love my 300, but I still like my smaller bikes too. I like the idea of the conversions to the larger displacement top ends. A nice CR came to my local shop, but I wasn't in a good position financially to scoop it up. I thought that it might hang around long enough for me to get it, but alas, it was snatched up fairly quickly. Then I noticed that there was a WR at a dealership about 30 miles away. I thought that it was lucky that it was so far away that I wouldn't just happen to stumble in and take a look at it.....but, it was on the internet ad, so I ended up checking the ad almost every day to see if it was still there. Finally, just before Christmas, I stopped in at the local dealer, Motoforza, and was chatting with the manager. I told him that it was a good thing that the bike was so far away, or else I would have been scheming to get it. He told me that he thought he could probably get the bike from that dealership if I really wanted it. That was a bad thing for him to say!

So on Friday, I walked in and asked if the shop could indeed get the bike. A phone call was made, and the sale process began. Somebody drove down to the other dealer to get the bike, so that I would have it before the weekend, as Motoforza would be closed from Sunday until the day after New Year day. I went in at 4 PM to sign the papers and pick up the bike. The machine was sitting outside the service entrance, and I could see right up the exhaust as I approached. Therein lay a problem....the bike had no spark arrestor. I simply assumed that because the larger models came with a spark arrestor, that the little one would too. So, the rush to get the bike to me was for naught, as the bike couldn't legally be ridden on public land without a spark arrestor.

So I brought it home and wedged it into the garage.

Saturday, saw a day on the trails with my 300. It was the first time I had ridden with the JD kit in the stock Mikuni, and the jetting nailed it for me and the machine. Easy starting and good running all day long.

Sunday, I wheeled the little 125 out on the driveway and began the basic preliminary setting up, positioning of bars, levers, shifter, set preload on the shock, and go over all the fluids, nuts and bolts...and add a few stickers.

I ordered a spark arrestor, which hopefully will get here before next weekend. On a side note, I also ordered a shroud graphic kit for the bike.
I will be riding it as a 125 to begin with. Not sure whether I will switch up to the 144, or skip that and go straight to buying and installing the 165 kit. One step at a time, I guess.

Nice, hope you love that 125. When it is warn I would just send it to Walt and get the 165 straight away. I am on a 09 144 right now wishing it was a 165 which is far better to me. My 144 is a rocket on top, so much so it is nearly unreadable "on the pipe". Going to put my Doma on it to try to move some top to the middle. Also if you have a good bog transitioning form mid to on the pipe see where your PV arm is set. Mine works best for my woods riding with the bott all the way to the top of the PV adjustment slot. I dont believe any size WR comes with a sparky any more.
