Technical / cannot start pw80

I would say replace some of the possible issues cheapest to most expensive, starting with a spark plug, then eventually if you try alot and it still doesnt start, I'd say get valves checked. if those things have em.

General Two Stroke Talk / who rides what?

« on: August 15, 2012, 04:04:39 PM »

I wish I had a newer 02 or up yz125 or 08 or up 250f.

Please tell me the 250f part was a joke

I know I know, but I personally kind of enjoy the fuel injected bikes.

General Two Stroke Talk / 01 YZ125 Project Bike: Part 1

« on: August 15, 2012, 05:53:51 AM »

most of what to do is based on your budget.

motor: id take the motor to a local builder or ship to some big names such as procircuit or even eric gorr. have them do the top and bottom end and the seals everywher on the engine. if you have the extra cash while you have it torn down have the tuner do a port and polish/blue printing or even a big bore kit from 134/139/144. i would even buy a new clutch kit this old and beaten the plates are worn down and the basket might even be notched so id suggest a new clutch basket kit. barnett or even hinson.

susp: 1) you can take the stock suspension to a tuner they can revalve them and refurb them and theyll do pretty good. or 2) search ebay of local listings for 05 ssos forks or 06/newer sss forks (which is standard on new yz's) it would require matching triple clamps mind you and also the 05-newer shock and get a rebuild on them/revalve.

if you want a little extra flavor you can get the carb bored and tuned

tires pick your flavor

your pipe should still be good even with the dent, theres been evidence that a dent actually improved performance, i would get a shorty silencer for it

id get a vforce3 or even a boyesen reed block

also to have the bike run that much better run 50/50 vp 110 or even straight.

Yeah we are going to take it to the shop this weekend and have them strip it and list off all the necessary parts that need to be replaced, get that done first. Then we are getting the whole suspension setup replaced with hopefully RG3 or Factory Connection, and getting it tuned by our local guy Joel Burkett. Then some engine modification like the Reeds, maybe an athena 144 kit. after that hoping to replace the whole exhaust system to make it look good and I hear procircuit performs better. Handle bars and triple clamps, MX51 tires front/rear. after that really its accessories, powder coat frame, asv levers, new gripper ama seat cover, new plastics, graphics, number plate backgrounds, Clutch cover, rad louver decals, renthal kevlar grips, new Solid Black Excel Rims with blue nipples, silver black spokes and blue hubs, all gonna happen eventually.

(oh and my mix I'm running right now is Amsoil 51/50 I think. It kind of makes the exhaust drip oil a little, I don't know a good mix that won't drip oil)

For Sale / Help me find an 01 yz125 black airbox.

« on: August 15, 2012, 05:12:25 AM »

Hey guys I am looking for an 01 yz125 black airbox, no scratches or chips, somewhere for a reasonable price. And if there is none because the ones I have found are pretty sketchy, am I able to paint mine myself or give it to someone else to paint, and it won't chip or. And I'm also worried about if airbox decals would stick to it?

Technical / Updating 06 YZ-250 Plastics!

« on: August 15, 2012, 04:22:54 AM »

there not exactly like the 2015 250f plastics, they were meant to look modern like them though. And You can order custom graphics for the plastics no problem, I think DecalWorks carries the template. heres the difference:
YZ125 with ufo conversion


250f


still looks modern though, just not worth $250 in my opinion...

01 yz125 Project Build: Part 1

The Plan

Hey guys, before I start the topic I want to say TSM inspired me to rebuild my bike apposed to selling it and getting another. I am going to be doing a series on my new project bike. It's an 01 yz125 that I plan on making brand new. Going to make some videos and take pictures of my progress as I move along, and make a new topic when I have a considerable amount of changes. Right now I have no changes just going to give a list of problems, parts, and whatnot about the bike. (Oh and give you guys some pictures) And also I got the bike of craiglist for pretty much free, we traded my 04 ttr125 for it  , the guy said it just sat in the previous owners garage for the longest time and it didn't even run when he got it, but he fixed it up and at least go it running.

Problems (There are probably more, this is just of what we know):
Forkseals need to be changed bad
Forks and rear suspension need to be serviced in general
Rear suspension needs to be dialed in and replaced
petcock leaks
idle is too high
shifter shaft seals are blown
tubes need new routing
need rebuild on top and low end
plastics are banged up
upper triple clamp mounts look like someone took a hammer to them
needs a return spring for the kit starter (it won't even return anymore)

aftermarket parts as of now (they all came with it):
FMF Q Series silencer (replacing for Procircuit)
FMF Gold Series Fatty (Dinged and rusted, getting procircuit platinum)
Answer fat bars (getting protaper contour cr mid bends

(any ideas on what to do with it would help to, parts and what not, suggestions!

I plan on pretty much rebuilding the whole bike to new, so stay tuned! Here are some pictures too

Open Forum / Parents making me do a High School sport :/

« on: August 15, 2012, 03:17:43 AM »

That's easy man, do what they say and do any high school sport, but play the worst you can, and then they realize that you suck and belong to a mx track, everytime you ride, you gotta behave for them to see that you deserve more to pursuit a dream.

btw, how old are you?

haha that's a good idea actually
and I'm 14, 15 in 6 months

General Two Stroke Talk / 01 Yz125 or 02 yz125?

« on: August 15, 2012, 03:16:38 AM »

i think 02 yz 125 came with a 5 speed gearbox besides 6 speed.

you'd better keep up that 01.. i've got a 5 speed 125 and i feel that i need something between gears..

check yz 125 tsm's project, you'll see that with a few mods the bike will look stunning.

yeah im keeping my bike and actually planning on replicating the tsm 125 project, except with blue plastics, blue hubs, and muscle milk graphics, oh different bars

I wouldn't be too quick to idolise too many top pro athlete's.
Many train 6-7 days a week , are home schooled and don't have much of a life outside of their sport.
Sure they seem to live the dream with fame and fortune but most are either washed up or the body has given up by the time they are 30. With most of us living past 80 that leaves alot of life left to survive outside of the sport. ( I am talking about most sport's here. )
For every x pro you see on tv doing well in business/commentry/coaching etc I bet there are 10-20-30 that have fallen on hard times. You just don't hear about them.
It is fine to have hero's but most people will not/can not get to the level of them.
A good grounding in life from a young age is better for all of us.
Go to school , play sport , make lots of friends and if the planets align and you have the necessary skills you may make it in your chosen sport.
Just remember that all teenagers think that their parents are wrong. It's not untill you reach 30+ that you realise they may have been right.

I am completely serious about MX, every morning I get up at 7am and ride my bike across town and back, and then do sit ups and pushups, etc. And honestly I wished I was home schooled so I can focus more on it, I'm not saying my parents are wrong, cause there really is no right or wrong. And yes I have broken a couple bones riding, crashed about 15+ times, dumped the bike practicing corners about 30+ times. I race in 125 C and yes, this sport is pretty much my life. And just like all the pros say, I don't know why I do it, it's really hard to explain but I do. And my 2 inspirations in this sport is adam cianciarulo and a local 15 year old rider.
