    Posted

    I always nod 9/10 I get one back and you can tell a fair weather rider a mile off lacking the capability to nod

    when some one doesn't nod I feel like its the L plates and the thought of 'your not a real biker'

    the fist on the helmet iv seen and used

    even a bloke in a 4x4 waved and gave a wave and fist on head and sure enough I droped back to 30 and get round the bend

    and theres sat a 2 5-0 waiting to snare

    also if I see some poor sod pushin there 2 wheels and I got time ill pull over and offer to help

    usually they out of petrol, I carry 1lt petrol tank in my bag for emergency's so they suddenly cheer up

    is your idle is set to low the xt is supposed to run at 1650 rpm

    I run mine at 1350 rpm

    how old is your battery more than 3 years could need replacing

    and check the fuel filter float needle

    aint clogged usually bits of plastic from the tank cap seat

    try running a bit of redex through it

    if this doesn't help clean out the carb need any pointers PM me

    iv had mine apart to many times, had to tweek it after a drop ruined my float hight

    and changed the jets iv also used a xt carb on a 150cc project

    could be of help? :)

    illegal or not? :S

    when I do which isn't very often i put one in I don't feel the need

    and it takes to many attempts to get your splat hat on

    go for a over ear (like the 2 way radios for bikes) or the foam inner type

    but you need a good set

    iv been looking to get an aftermarket CDI finally

    you cant directly buy one for an xt (or ybr)

    but you can get one for the ttr 125 but non adjustable/ programable

    with preset timing curve

    same engine, stator and connection

    recently ive learnt that the raptor 125 shares the same engine

    so I get searching and reading

    and found it only has a 6 pin cdi (stock 7)

    im guessing this is due to it not needing a side stand switch

    so a lil rewiring would be needed

    but you can get procom adjustable cdi 9 settings

    top one removeing all restriction off top end revs

    but then looking through people would have tuned up raptor 125s

    have used the raptor 450 cdi this you can completely adjust the CDI digitally

    but the one connector block on it is the same im guessing the other is for water cooling

    so to put it in short is it to far fetched to try fit a raptor 450 Digitally re-pro CDI

    to a xt 125

    I will be buying the ttr 125s CDI (AMR Stage 3)

    and if I come across a 2nd hand yfz 450 performace Cdi on ebay

    im tempted to give it a go

    hello

    im jake (Prichard) im 24

    you can find me riding around the west midlands on my black n gold XT 125 R 09 (2010 plate)

    currently waiting taking the mod 2 direct access :) off with the L plates:)

    I believe you can modify and improve anything

    im all for thinking out side the box when it comes to performance

    I have researched the XT for 2 years to find out what you can actually do to it

    im not saying im a top end mechanic either

    and you can buy performance parts for the 5vl 124cc engine just not a lot directed at the XT

    so any if any one else is trying to do the same message me im sure I can help and/or you can help me

    YBR's aswell

    I also have a Chinese 150cc big bore project converting to a trike just as a an extra lil mess around

    anyway that's my hello

    sound people I might just stick to the local spots there illegal but grew up round there so I know every exit and entrance

    cant beat our local quarry illegal but has a 200 ft sand hill climb not the steepest but great fun loads of lil trax cut it to the flat and at the top

    there wooded area with deep quad trax fun to get stuck in there for 20mins

    and a couple of mile of dirt track going on and off B roads all linking together

    think joining a local clubs the option

    but I herd if you got the time you can got to your local council

    and ask for the local map of open and closed byways in the brough

    they will print them for you with a small fee for the paper work

    well the bike is legal road so don't think that would be an issue

    yeah got to hit the bar guards clipping barbed wire and branches hurt

    also chicanes pot holes snow + hiting 50 doesn't mix your bike ends up in a tree :D and you end up in a bush

    was fun

    as for the police they do there job. . . yeah right the past couple of months a few do gooder local residents of wv11 have been give speed trap guns to catch and fine

    people yet im paying tax for a copper to be stood there

    I think next time I come across one im just gonna ditch the bike let it go sliding down the road and say I though it was a gun hopefully that should put an end to it if they causing accidents

    whats your views on this (not so much ditching the bike )

    iv notice around Dudley 2 big Honda+BMW 4t enduros

    and one undercover 1000cc street bike

    been pulled a fair few times but speak to them like they human and they are usually ok

    I once come very very lucky when caught speeding

    by an undercover Volvo estate

    should have got 21 point and around £2000 fine

    - doing 55 on a 30 (3 points)

    - no L plates (6 points - 3 each)

    - not in accordance with licence (6 point)

    - not in accordance with insurance (6 point)

    - near bold back tire (3 points)

    but because I had the one plate up me jacket and tire was only just touching legal

    they let me off with most things and gave me 3 points £60 fine

    They were sound with me tbh my guess is they were about to clock off

    good job they hadn't seen me about half hour before :)

    taking my main man to work with no foot pegs

    How does your YBR start?

    guessing you have no modifications performance wise

    sound like you got one of two problems

    1) some badly fouled spark plug

    and this will be caused buy dirty injector and/or incorrect fueling

    which means the sparkplug needs to work a damn sight harder

    it could be as simple as running redex through ya system or some slight adjust ment

    or your injectors and sensors could need a damn good clean with carb cleaner or replaceing

    2) Low compression if it needs to be that warm to work

    this could be down to worn piston rings or something similar

    first things first check ya plug for corrosion or colour change

    this will give you a general conclusion google should give you a rough chart or picture guide of this

    if it is blacker than the ace of spades your probably looking at new piston rings

    meaning your getting oil pasing the piston

    if its light and corroded not enough fuel or air leak (burning to hot)

    Grab a Haynes manual for it yeah its 18.99 at Halfords but the money they can save in the long run is worth it

    xt (all years) and ybr (2005 - 2007) were run by 28mm mikuni single slide carb

    where as YBR 2007 onwards were injected

    grouch I no ya pain at the lights its a piss take never seems to happen as much any more

    with a new less restrictive end can and air filter (+jetting) it starts easyer and idle's easyer and sounds better :D

    Big Bore An XT 125 R With TTR125 150cc Bore Kit ???

    I will check it

    but the fly wheel because of European restrictions and to make it L legal will be restricted (made heavyer)

    just don't wana go to light other wise say good bye to top end and smooth gear changes

    every thing is restricted on 4t 125cc L euro bikes

    air feed, exhaust, downpipes, valves, ports, fly wheel, cdi, list can go on

    everything would need to be alterd to get it fully unrestricted

    just depends on how much time and effort you got :)

    Big Bore An XT 125 R With TTR125 150cc Bore Kit ???

    Posted

    well tbh it took a day to get it running spot on with those three lil mods

    it didn't do any thing for the top end but layed on a some more acceleration

    and stock this bike runs a mikuna 28mm single slide manual so does require jeting before tuning any thing (even though this carb is sort after for upgrading 125 4t's)

    the exhaust take a lot of restriction off and sound f**kin sweet

    I think I may try and find a bigger bore but going over a 150cc requires the top of gear box boring ( Easy enough)

    any suggestions welcome (links)

    there are other things to be done on top

    -flywheel lightened

    -larger catless down pipe going from 1 1/8" to 1 1/2"

    -back wheel converted to 19" from 18"

    -monster coil pack

    But if all goes to plan I will post up some pics and a running video in a month or so

    it would be nice to own the fastest xt 125 r on road
