The 2-stroke thread

im the heaviest out of my friends riding... the honda is a 250x and he weighs about 155 and the Kawasaki is a 450f and he weighs 165... the razor.... that;s a differnt story


edit: im probably close to 200 with gear and my back full of sheeeeeeeeet

 

Yeah honestly I haven't had any issues with the 125. especially once I realized how much it loves being wound alllll the way up basically 24/7

 

right!?!?! my 125 was more reliable than my 250f


this 500 is a whole different story though.... hahahha.


first time riding it on a trail will be sunday.

ive ridden one at the dunes and it was STUPID fast. hahah.

 

I basically taught myself that if I thought I was in the right gear, I should probably down shift

 

hahahahaha thats awesome! that 125 at balleringer was 5th gear EVERYWHERE until i saw some roller/whoops... i just down shifted that bitch and held her wide open

 

If it doesn't sound like about to explode it isn't being revved high enough!!

 

Tough to beat the scenery up here too(not me, thats my buddy on his 250):

 

yeah until it actually blows up

 

How did I miss this thread!!??

 

Lol that's how I got my bike picked it up for $350 will a blown engine, did a full top and bottom end rebuild on it and called it good.

 

that's the way to do it! ive considered since i sold my tacoma to start rebuilding bikes for side profit.

 

For sure. Plus I love anything mechanical so it was more fun than anything to pull everything apart haha

 

ive been looking at a 92 yz125 local for 200 bucks.. might do what you did an put a top/bottom end in it and sell if for 1500 or something like that. i mean it doesnt run and could be as simple as a plug change/carb clean but knowing the bike is in good working order is always a good feeling.

 

Yeah I got my '01 rm125 for $350 but had no idea what was wrong with it. The chick said she thought she might have run the wrong gas but wasn't sure and it locked up on her. So I just did everything to be safe. Top end, bottom end, clutch, and ended up putting a new used cylinder on it too since there was a chip in the plating on the cylinder wall and one of the power valves was busted. Still into the bike less than a grand and it basically a whole new engine and runs like a raped ape

 

hell yea! i blew up my 125 a looooong time ago and had a nasty chip in the cylinder, needless to say with the new cylinder and piston, this bike as been FLAWLESS since.


edit: besides blowing a hole in the piston but i mean that was after holding it wide open for 3-4 minutes in 5th trying to keep up with rzr's/trucks lol.

 

2-smoke powa!!!

I will have to get some pics of my first KX500. I have pics of that beast! I dont think I have any good ones of the new Monster. I also need to figure out how to put photos in a post lol.

All of you guys sound tiny. Granted I am taller and larger then the average bear! lol. But in my experience with my 2 500's they carry this big dude like I am not even there!

 

well ways to add photos to posts is to either send it to tacomaworld live, the post the embeded link here, or go into photobucket and do the same.

i mean im only 170 and it scoots pretty effing quick. i can see why bigger people would ride this bike. the power is endless haha.

 

Hold the kill switch every minute or so for a few seconds when doing extended wot runs :cool.

 

Here's one...an '83YZ100....



Also have a pristine 1973 CZ250 and a 1978 CR125 with a 100cc bore kit.
