125-200cc WR125 Questions and Must-Do Mods

Hi all,
I recently got my first Husky, and 07 WR125, and I have a couple questions. The PO used a 50:1 ratio, this sounds like not enough oil, but then again, I'm coming off a KTM 105sx What ratio do you guys run? Also, it needs to be re-jetted, I've read its very hard to jet the TMX right, so should I even bother, or will it have no affect? The bike runs great, but there is a lot of spooge, like, A LOT. The plug is black, and in 0 degree c weather, as soon as it starts the choke needs to be turned off. I'm thinking pilot jet is too rich, but I'm probably wrong :P Lastly, are there any have-to-do mods, to make the bike run better, make it more bulletproof? (Don't say switch the carb to a PWK I'm already contemplating it

Thanks for all your help!

get a WB +40 kit

it makes it a WB 165

the kit is a complete top end job and it should be combined with a 200 pipe (good option is special prepared Fatty for this kit)
get in contact with Motosportz to get the finer details

currently there is some testing going on with APt smart carb and lectron carb

might be a better thing as an airstriker (look at the smart carb thread)

warning

some plastic surgery might be involved in order to put your grin on your face


pre mix ration I run is 1: 35

with a good fresh top end spoodge is manageable with an original carb

when top end wears out it get worse.

I have the same bike as you, run 50:1 amsoil Interceptor with no spooge.Sounds like you need to work on your jetting.I did put a FMF fatty on it and a PWK 38mm with RB didvider plate and my bike runs awesome.

So 50:1 is fine then... What kind of riding do you do? Fast, high RPM, or slow 1-2 gear? Also, if you don't mind, where and how much was the PWK?

I was reading a lot about the lectron and apt, and the die cast apt could be the answer, and i could put it on other bikes! Not to sure about the lectron though, not much info about it.

One last question, do you guys run rotella in the tranny? I did it with my ktm, and I still have a lot left....

I run rotella in tranny, and I wouldn't run 50:1 but that's just me... 40:1 is what i run, and the manual says 33:1.

Thanks for all the info!

Have you guys ever heard of PJ1 Silverfire oil? It was on sale, so I bought 3 litres of it...... If anything, I'll put it into the boat

Great! It was cheaper than non-syn, so it was a no-brainer.

Are there any mods that should be done to the bike, to make it better?

Skid plate,mine has all kinds of dents so it must work!
What is your gearing and what kind of riding do you do?

Oh, I forgot to mention, it has a guts racing seat, with a bump, handguards with bonz mounts, scorpion skidplate, a really quiet silencer (it says husqvarna on the body, and magnum on the endcap) but, it has the stock pipe.

I'm not sure on the gearing, I think I have a 12 front and i don't know about the rear. I'll count and tell tomorrow.

The kind of riding I do, ranges from tight singletrack, to hillclimbs, to fast trails.

50:1 for my 2009 165. 38.5 pilot jet....... The 165 kit deals with the terrible flat spot mid-revs the 2009 bikes have...... forks springs from a TE310 (45nm)and service is all ive done for my 50mm oc zocchi forks (130mm air gap). Rear shock i've a YZF 55nm rear spring and linkage serviced, but the shock bearings need sorting.......fitted a 2012 tc449 front brake, big improvement and one finger pressure on the lever is enough to lift the rear wheel off the floor.

That's the kind of riding I do also.I have a 12/52 gear set up,plenty of power low mid but not so great when you want to do above 50mph(high rpm)riding on roads.Gearing and the pwk carb gave me the best payback,I would think the Lectron or smartcarb would be a step above that and make the bike perfect.

With the 12/52 setup, does the front end come up with a flick of throttle? Also, isn't the sixth gear very tall?
