This is Justin's 1996 CR125R, that he bought in July of 2010. The bike is in pretty good shape, considering it is 14 years old. Everything seems to work as advertised, but the engine is a little weak...pretty sure the previous owner(s) never changed out the piston for a new one.
As this Blog goes on, I will document it's tear down and rebuild. We started the tear down portion today (3 Sept 2010) and don't expect the bike to be ready until next spring or so. It will be a budget build and we don't plan anything extravagant. Here is a list of items that we are planning or getting done:
- Have frame powder coated...Justin thinks he wants to paint the frame red
- Replace bearings on the rear suspension/linkage
- Replace bearings on steering stem
- Replace piston with new OEM piston
- New chain/sprockets
- New pipe/silencer
Cool build! I have a few questions for you. Email me at alan@1wayracing.com or post your email and I'll email you. Thanks
