picked up a dirt bike today

[johnnym]

so ive been looking for dirtbike for a couple weeks now and this is what i picked up.i got a good deal on it ithink $900
its a 1999 cr125

Nice find if it doesnt need anything. If it does talk to Bhavesh. He put more money into his bike then he paid for it.

Fun bike. I had a 97 CR125 before my 02 KX125. That CR went to me from 6 fingers, got itself beat up on unreasonably for years on end and help up like a top. Enjoy!

looking good! but I need some more information before I can say it's a "good" deal...because of:

...If it does talk to Bhavesh. He put more money into his bike then he paid for it.

and I haven't even touched the motor yet

but if the bike does need work, you can save a lot of money by doing it yourself

otherwise, they're a ton of fun

nice congrats, I actually have brand new Universal radiator braces and skidplate for a cr125 if you want them CHEAP, let me know

[johnnym]

thanks guys

the guy i got from "said" he did the top end last year
im going to do all the small stuff fluid air filter new plug
but as it sits it needs new rear tire,chain + sprockets thats about all i can see
starts up first kick no leaks no smoke no weird engine noises

im excited haven't had a dirt bike in 10 years so it will be good to get out there and ride

If you plan to ride a lot of woods stuff in Franklin and Wrentham, I highly recommend going up a couple teeth on the rear sprocket.

ya ive been doing alittle reading on a different forum about going up on the rear ill keep that in mind thanks

I highly suggest you buy the radiator braces from Seth.

Every dirtbike I buy the braces are the FIRST thing I buy (In retrospect)

New radiators are expensive.

Also, Im sure Seth has a great price on the skid plate too, mine as well pick them both up.

ya not trying to make a sale but I agree. First thing I did on my 09 was radiator braces and frame guards (cuz my boot was hooking on frame). I'll sell both for 25 bucks. They are like 40-50 each msrp. I am pretty positive they are for 99-2000 125

hahah the first thing I DID to my 09 was purchase radiator braces and a skit plate on ebay for $60.00 bucks both.

Wish they came stock with the bikes, oh well.

What bike did you pick up ? I just got the 09 RMZ450. Love it, just ordered
-PCV (eddie custom maps)
- Oversized front brake rotor 270mm
- RC high bend tall bar
- C Cycle suspenion


Im on the fence about spending $300 for RG3 triple clamps, trying to see if their worth it or not .

[seth399]

I have the same bike I had when I saw you at winchester, 09 yz250. The new rmz bikes are definitely badass

TBH, anything is fine when you're starting out .

People will say ohhhh so and so tire is the best but really when you're pouting around, a $100 tire will still feel the same as a $30.00 tire. (If there is a different feeling, it certainly doesn't warrant the price difference)

Now if you're racing, thats a different story.
