2 stroke? 48 yrs old, i just bought my 1st dirt bike, a 2012 yz 125 and i took it to a field today to try it out and its intimidatingly', fast!, if i hit a trail like that i feel like it would shoot out from under me on that rock section, lol lot of riding to do before hitting some rocks or small jumps lol any tips or advice would be appreciated from anyone! thank you

Yes, it's a KTM300 2 stroke. Your YZ125 suspension would be too hard for rocks like this. You've got motocross suspension, which is super-hard for jumps. I've got enduro suspension set up to be very soft to handle bashing though rock gardens. The trick with this terrain is to stand up and squeeze the bike with your legs - maintain a consistant speed and stay neutral on the bike. It comes with practice.

You can always put a 17mm into the axle to keep it from spinning....
@brapbrapmafucka19 күн бұрын
Most people dont have a big allen key. Everyones gona have a 10mm in their hand already. I used a bolt and welded a nut to it for bikes that are really stuck lol
@DatGloriaVires2 жыл бұрын
There's a lip on the axle that will pull from the other side so do the pinch bolts up on the other side to do the axle nut up as the axle is flush with the base of the forks on the other side and will pull through as the other side squares up. Then as the video suggests release those pinch nuts. At that point the axle will be done up exactly as it needs to be without pulling the axle through.

Is it normal to hear the front disk when spinning my front wheel? Kinda gritty sound? It's a new bike so I'm paranoid
@george656083 жыл бұрын
Yes, it is normal. Dont worry if you hear it a bit, like it only rubs on a point. If you hear it rubbing a lot and constantly, then you might have a bent brake

Coming from an average height guy, why would anybody listen to that. It’s not entirely helpful. At 6’1 I run 15mm bar risers and 12mm lower pegs. Bars in forward mounting position on my WRF. It’s perfect and doesn’t fuck with the geometry. You have to be comfortable to go fast. Hunching over sucks.

If you don't back those snug nuts off too much, you don't need to do this. Looks like your bushings are worn. Mine was so tight I had to turn my axle bolt in with wrench. Then tighten the 2 snug nuts. If your axle bolt slides in and out by hand, it's the bushings are gone

Years ago I got a second hand 1994 cr125 for $1800 cause dad told the seller the forks were fucked, because the seller had done the axle nut up really tight with 2 bolts on the free side up first and pulled the forks in so much at the bottom of the stanchions that the forks wouldn’t even move, we took it home and loosened it up and they were fine...... I shattered my tib fib and patella on that bike....maybe it was karma 😝

Nothing moves the center of gravity more upwards than being tall. Adjustments is an effort to compensate for this by lowering it back down. Try to ride a kids bike and tell me if if feels the same as your regular bike.
