Gday.
I started out on dirt when I was much younger, but havent been on a dirt bike for years and years.
My dad (back when we spoke) and I used to go and buy fucked dirt bikes and do them up, ride them a while and sell them. Went through about 15 bikes in 2 and a half years before I stopped counting, and soon found my way to big sportsbikes not too long thereafter.
As fate would have it, my mate recently got his hands on a very rough CR 125. about the same time his missus announced that he was about to be a dad - so wanting to start saving for the next 18 years of poverty, he offered me the CR. the princely sum of $400 seemed about right to me.
So Im back to dirt. The bike is rough as fuck, but complete. the guys that had it last clearly had little respect for it, but it does run - though not well. She is going to be a bit of a project.
Im wondering if anyone else on here has one of these (1991 CR 125) and can give me some info?
A manual would be bloody handy.
I tipped some gas in her and she fired right up and ran ok - ish. she idles nidely but will not rev out. Im thinking it may have fucked rings judging by the smoke, but thats just a guess. I guess forst step is find a manual, and do a compression test, then go from there.
anyway i have rambled but thought I should venture into the dirt section and say gday
