hi all, Ive got the chance to get a 1999 TZR125R, but am not sure what to look for on it, other than the obvious signs of damage, crashes etc. Do TZR's have kown problems with them, if so what are they? Its got 10,000 miles on the clock which to me seems too little ( ? ) and has been resprayed which worrys me about a possible crash? Just looking for any buying Advice on TZR125R's and sports bike generally. can anybody help Cheers <>Chris

No one for the Laser Hotcam then .. <>Chris

Laser Exhaust Hands Down for me, looks V. nice, Sounds good, gives good performance too. 380 squid thou.. <>Chris

hi all, any one know of any mods for the R125 that are in production for 2009?? theres gotta' be more than exhausts and dynojets!? does anyone know if renthal will be making sprockets for this bike ? cheers, <>Chris edit : just found out renthal do make sprockets for R125 so dont worry about that part ( only make standard sizes at the moment though:( )

well i like the Scorpion exhaust because it sounds great, but ive herd it gives no power increase what so ever? <>Chris

hi does anyone know yet when the Laser Hotcam exhaust will be readily available for the R125 ?? as i read earlier that noones knows. But some one MUST :D <>Chris

haha thanks for the reply mate, totally for got about braking issues i could bore it and i could get a bigger exhaust but the only one ''performance'' one i could find was ''big one'' which looks stupid on a bike thats as old as mine!! oh well think ill just stick with my R125 then .

Hi all, Im curious to know if i could fit a DT125 engine (or 125cc engine of any sort) im my 1984 DT50MX frame? Ill be getting the R125 next year but i want to make this a project to do in my spare time. The bike is only 6v - would i need to rewire the bike to a 12v to make the engine run properly? Basically can it be done without making any MAJOR modifications to the frame of the bike?? If anyone has done this, advice would be appreciated Cheers, <>Chris P.S sorry if this topic has already been posted - but i cant find it if it has

Haha ooo the tire sounds particularly good fun i know how you feel about the clutch cable though - mine has been stretching for ever now and its finally about to give up working - but hey it dosnt matter as i cant even ride my bike now Cheers, <>Chris

I know, and now its taking it out on me but i still like it because of how easy it is to get to things on it - to work on it. Also ive learnt alot about how it works from just looking at the parts and looking at diagrams in my manual!! <>Chris

It had crossed my mind that i may need to re-build the engine which to be honest i don't have the time to do and i dont really want to. I had a look at the carb today and realised that the screw holding the carb onto the inlet manifold want fully tightened so i tightened it up and then looked at the clamp that the screws goes into and realised that it had half snapped off the body of the carb so i ahd to order a new TK carb from Yamaha Which may take 6 weeks to arrive :@. although its also good as the old carb had black bits in and rust at the bottom of it! Although that could have bee nfrom the tank ( ihave just a bought a fuel filter for it ) pshh overall, this bike is more trouble than its worth - Im 16 and i just want to ride around and get experience !! Thanks, <>Chris

hi all, Im thinknig of getting one of these next year to help ease me into super bike riding. Has anyone seen the new new laser hotcam exhaust for this bike - looks V.nice <>Chris

Cheers guys - i went down to my local Yamaha Garage and discussed the problem with them too and they said about running the bike full blast then turning it off etcc. I havnt done it yet as i think the that the piston started to seize in the engine !! as when i throttled it the power just died and the turned back on like the piston was sticking - this problem was mostly happened when i had had the bike running and was starting it hot! So i also tried replacing the jet to a 95 (from an 88) but it made no noticeable difference and the seizing problems still occurred! so in the end i have gone back to using an 88 jet and using the air box on the bike. but i still ahve the smoking problem !!!!! I think i should have just not bothered !! Although i did notice that (when changing the jets) that there was quite a bit of rust in the bottom of the carb ( which i know is very bad ) and it also had tarnished sections ( black colour ) which could not be removed by carb cleaner. I have had this problem before but could not decide whether it was the air filter or rust from the petrol tank ( as i have run the fuel straight out of the tank and it sometimes comes out brown for the first few squirts). I just cant decide whether i should get a new petrol tank or carb or just sell the bike!! hope some can help and thanks, <>Chris

Ive Just fitted a ''power cone filter'' from wemoto ( for my specific bike ) as Ive herd it can increase acceleration and overall power ( albeit not much ). After fitting the filter i started the bike and a LOT of white smoke was being put out of the exhaust - presumably from the mixture having to much air in it ( correct me if im wrong there ) After riding around for a short time the smoke became less but was still putting out more than usual. Basically Im asking if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to fix it!! I dont have a very good manual for my bike so im hoping i can get some more in depth knowledge!! Thanks, <>Chris

Ermm, I finding it really hard to find any performance parts that are specifically for my 1984 DT50 !! Has anyone got any laces where that get similar parts cheers, <>Chris
