New to me 89 yz125

[elissama]

Hey all - just wondering if anyone knows the history on this bike.

Bought it off of Idratherberidin yesterday.

Hoping to find out if any mods were done to it so I know what to look for. Sprocket size is 13:52 ... I know I need to RTFM but the stock size isn't in the manual

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

I know the history It use to be Mine. I never had to anything with it but put gas in it.

Come on down and ride in Franklin this Saturday. I might need someone to go with depending if we get PKs bike fixed.

Do you need to be dual sported for Franklin? I only go with a NH sticker and have nothing else.

MA yellow plate is the way to go to ride in MA. I dont think we have any extras but I can look.

Ive never had a problem there but it would be a ride at your own risk if you dont have the plate.

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

I have been There 4 Times and every time the Fish Police have been there. Hassling people

[Awesome]

I'm either going to western mass to ride with Kitt saturday or clough one or both days. NH reg for clough, no reg for Kitt's place. Congrats son the new bike, we're going to have to adjust the suspension or you'll be miserable in the woods. The power will put your XR to shame.

[highsider]

The XR rocks, dont knock it.

No reg needed at highsider's.

The suspension on That bike Is revalved for woods, for someone 180lbs It is by far the best Woods setup I ever rode. And I ride alot of bikes.

[CEO]

That is a great fuckin bike... old and not pretty but it runs like a champ.

Starts easy, runs strong.

I have watched Daniel make a 40 ft geyser of mud with that thing.

Id be up for either of those but I dont have transport for the bike. Franklin is all of 5 miles away from where my bike is. I just need to step up and get a truck I guess as soon as I get a house

Suspension is nice and cushy- probably won't have the yz up and running by this weekend - need to recover the seat, put oil in the case - see if its still pulling, hopefully paint the plastics... then it should be good to go.

I may take you up on that on the xr though. Keep me UTD on where you decide to go! All my stuff is at home in MA so all I need to do is load up and out the door.

Youre going to be sad no matter where you go with that thing

That's what I learned on in a sand pit, chasing YZ60s... with the right motivation they will get the job done... just be prepared for hard landings off anything 3" tall or higher.

[netra709]

Bring it up to clough sometime. There is a pretty good variety of trails, kind of suits all riding levels. Tim

how about with some heavier front fork oil and a ($20) crf100 shock?

back on topic: e-miss, if you (or anyone else) wants a slow/noob riding buddy at Franklin or Oxford (Hodges), I'll reg up the XR80 and join ya

Youre more then welcome to come to Franklin when I go. I still want to go Saturday but I dont know whats going on. My biggest problem is I need someone to fetch my bike which isnt far from the trails.

Hey KB!

Idratherberidin gave me some good info on it but he didn't have it for very long - told me he got it from someone on here so I figured I'd post to see more details. B.Squirrel gave me the detailed DL . Very helpful!

So far: All plastics off - cleaned - ready for paint and zip ties for broken pieces.
Cleaned air filter + air filter box, bought new air filter and installed - keeping old as spare.
Pulled clutch basket (holy crap that bolt was on tight!) Used jewlers file and sandpaper to take burrs off of basket. Reordered plates - were in wrong order when I got it already disassembled. - Had serious adventure in using redi-gasket LOL Discovered I hadn't lined up the clutch lever on the casing right so I had to pull off and put back on a few times
Put case cover on left side back on.
Replaced broken clutch perch (finally got righty tighty lefty loosy down)
Tightened front sprocket bolt - was only finger tight!

Props to Sheppo and Billerica Motorsports for hooking me up with various parts and fluids. Also Sheppo for valuable advice and support.

[Awesome]

I don't know how much luck you're going to have putting paint on plastics.

Bhav, she's not a noob dirt rider by any means, and unless you're 8 years old that 80 is only good for a pitbike. Melissa was on an XR250 for her beginner ride and this 125 is a major step up in power.

You will have fun in the Parking area Of franklin. a 125 2 stroke is the smallest you can get away with there. Its real single track.

time to step it up
