    Little column by Liam in MCN about it. Sounds good but that £150 is going on getting my full licence ;)

    Im guessing he didn't mention me, as i was the guy that blew the lid off of it all.

    Anyway, glad to see you on the site. Hope you put some photos up of your bike. would be good to get a community going for R-125s. Got 30 R-125 riders on there already :)

    Gents,

    Just wanted to let you know that there is now a full review of the Yamaha R-125 De-restriction on my website. If you're interested I can provide you with the link :)

    Tzr 50 New Exhaust For Xmas help?

    in Naked

    Posted

    Hi guys, I just got a brand new arrow exhaust for my tzr 50 04 model and it's made it slower than when I had my stock exhaust I have NO clue whatsoever what's gone wrong or I've done wrong, Help anyone? :blink:

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd imagine it needs re-jetting if you have a new pipe, or at least an adjustment to the carb as it will more than likely be running rich, which will make it slower.

    I had to do the same thing with my RS when I had it.

    Hi,

    Well I can tell you that Liam from MCN had it set for a much better performance, power / acceleration wise rather than top end. Sadly, you can't seem to have both a better top end aswell as acceleration.

    Top end should see you for another 10mph or so, maybe a bit more. However, it takes ages to get there and in my opinion isn't worth it seeing as it's a 125, so you don't get many roads to get it that fast.

    However, if it's setup for better lower grunt, the bike WILL now pull in all gears (Ever faced a hill on an R125? Then you'll know how it hates them!!!!). With the modification, it will now pull even up steep hills. You can now comfortably overtake where as before you just didn't have the confidence in the bike delivering the power quick enough.

    Also, the bike will now wheelspin (if that's your cup of tea). Best of all, it won't void your warranty as it's using Yamaha parts! :)

    The results are impressive, especially if you have an aftermarket pipe, with the Leo vince showing the most impressive gains from those tested. Also, i'd strongly advise the double bubble screen. it's good for an extra 5mph extra at least, and makes busy dual carriageway rides less nerving (I found with the standard screen, unless I was fully tucked in that the air was so turbulent over 60mph that I lost confidence in the bike as it was terribly twitchy!)

    sign up over at OneTwoFives. It has a dedicated section for R125's and i'm hoping it will become a good community. It's far less hostile than 125ccsportsbikes.

    I'll give you more info very soon, as im due to get it carried out on my own bike in the first few days of January.

    Merry Christmas guys :)

    Urgh I've read about that "derestriction" on that hell hole of a forum 125 sportsbikes. Until I see a significant power gain that isn't down to changing the gearing I'm staying skeptical :rolleyes:

    You've not read much then, except abuse from the 2 strokers. None of them actually know anything about it. It has nothing to do with the gearing either. The only two people that know about the deresriction properly, is myself and Liam from MCN.

    an article will be going up on www.onetwofives.com/forums when it officially launches on 1st Jan. Will have a fair bit of info about it and where it can be done.

    Imanupstart, having seen a bike de-restricted, i can tell you right now you'd be 110% impressed.

    Right took me two hours to completely strip the bike down, give it a bloody good wash and fit the exhaust (and found alot of lines that are not connected to anything dangling about :unsure: ) I wasn't expecting alot of noise as its a tiny little single cylinder thing, you cant go by the youtube vids at all as they all sound pretty much the same (crap) and had the baffel in to break the exhaust in a bit. Oh lord. It sounds sweet! My baby vara has a scorpion can but its not half as loud as this baby :D Not doing the excited teenager who's 125 now sounds like a proper bike bit but lord, it does! Ran it next to my dads zzr600 with micron cans and mine sounds soooo much better! :lol:

    Pics tomorrow as I havn't the energy to whack all the fairings back on today.

    Get the scorpion ;)

    It's close between the Leo and the scorpion, although dealerships will tell you that the Leo offers a slight performance gain, where as the other pipes do not.

    Those of you with R-125's, might be worth taking a look at www.onetwofives.com/forum

    We're a new community dedicated to 4 stroke 125's, with most of us owning the R-125 so far. You'll also be able to find out some exclusive news about how to de-restrict your R-125 by a Yamaha tech who's found the restriction!

    Obviously continue using this great forum aswell, but it's just for those of you with 125's as that is strictly what our forum caters for! :)

    It's still in it's testing stages at the moment, but feel free to sign up, introduce yourself and discuss with other R-125 riders :)
