Title: Newbie here in Texas
Post by: Defy on April 24, 2007, 01:54:30 PM
Well i finaly talked the wife into letting me buy another toy! So i picked up a 2001 KX 125. it's not the best looking bike and needs alot of work but it runs and is a blast to ride.  Alittle about me, My name is Nick i have a wife and 2 dogs (goldens).  As for toys i have had my share but now i am down to my Harley and my KX now and i am looking to pick up a little 4stroke for my wife to start off with so i can get her into rideing.  I have been on and off dirt/street bikes all my life but this is my first 2 stroke and i am not sure yet but i don't think im going back  :-D this thing is wicked fast! Once i build my confidence back up i will most likely buy a 250 but for now this thing is plenty fast.  Anyways thats pretty much it.  You will be hearing alot from me as i pretty much tear my bike apart and put it back together again.  I have a whole list of things to do
 -Change fluids
 -brakes
 -new back tire
 -new expansion chamber/sliencer
 -reeds/intake manifold/carb tuneing
 -rebuild the forks (i think they are leaking)
 -later on down the road tear it all apart and repaint everything  :-D

Welcome,
 I started my boys off an 80 and 150, I probably should have gotten one of those 125 pit bikes to get the hang of things. (you can always de-tune them)
Hope it works out with the wife getting into riding.   Before you know it she'll take your 125 and leave you with the little thumper!  Then you can talk her into a big bore kit. 
 Take Care,
 Tuck \o/
