P.s I have a pre 2007 honda mc on my rm125, it bites harder, it doesn't slow you down better though.

Congrats man!

The pic is broken btw, says the owner moved or deleted it.

I moved it into a new folder the other day. Will update the link later!

Been playing with her some more today.

Things I've done so far:
Airbox
Grease Linkage + Wheel Bearings/Axles
Reroute some wiring/cleanup behind the headlight
Check clickers on suspension
Set sag on shock. Stock spring 36mm free, 98mm race. Seems to be in the ballpark.
Remove middle bolt from lower triples, torqued to 12Nm.

Of course I did some jetting runs.
42 N3CJ#3 178 - burble off the bottom, bit lean and tinny just off idle, strong mid to top. Coming out half a turn on the air screw really showed a drop in torque confirming too lean on the diameter.

42 N3EW#2 178 - still burbling off the bottom. Very smooth off idle however fell a little flat before coming onto the pipe very hard. Felt similar to when I ran 40 N3EW#2 178 in my old bike the other day. Wasn't ideal on the trail.

so now I'm off to shuffle some jets around and I'll suspect this will put me into the right place cleaning up the bottom end, still being smooth off the bottom, and retaining some decent mid to top end pull. Who wants to guess what it'll be?

Haha not a chance Stu!

Was it you that had issues with the rear brakes?? I can't even really get the back end to lock up while standing on the pedal. Front is behaving like Simmo said. Very progressive.. reminds me of a Yamaha. I think I prefer a firmer bite so I'm not sure what I'll do to address that.

Suspension seems to have broken in considerably after less than an hour. I'm sure it'll loosen up some more yet, but looking promising. Can't wait to get it into some real nasty crud and work out what needs to be done to make it even better.

Force rad guards bolted up this morning.
P3 Composites Guard under the Christmas tree (and maybe a G2 Quick pull throttle cam too).
Still need to mount up the brush guards, bash plate, and the kill switch.
I'll grab a handful of M5x25 bolts when I'm next in town and will add the 8mm PV spacer on and see what that does to the bottom end grunt.

So far I'm at 40 N3CW#3 178 and its running pretty well. Doesn't feel quite as vibey/rough as the old donk. Power wise I don't think there is much in it. The old one is running 2 rear teeth shorter gearing. I think the new one feels a bit softer/burblier off the bottom but takes revs a bit easier. Reminds me of how my old engine felt before I did the head. I'll likely do the same and have this one machined up ASAP. Just not sure if I want to try and get an S3 working, or just mill down the stocker. Anyway, not sure when I'll have time to drain the coolant to measure that up. I'd like to check the PV tension as well but seeing as last days were spent rebuilding the old girl I think I deserve a bit of time off before hooking back into the next one.

Great tasks on the horizon but in the meantime feed us with some pictures

[Jakobi]

I stil don't have a nice photo of her posing fully dressed.. I'll work on it.

The footpegs seem to sit a bit strange on her too. I think its the actual pegs themselves and that the stops are touching a bit soon. I'll likely just deal with it for a bit and then replace them with something else.





Linkages didn't look massively greased from the outside with not much on the pins. Removing the bushing and inpecting internally there was a decent coating of grease however I wiped them out and repacked em up good.

Jake, are those the S-3 pegs ? sure do look like'em
