Hey,
So on Sunday I picked myself up a 2001 RS125. 14000kms, in decent condition new chain and sprockets tyres are good and it runs well and handles amazing.

Stripped the bike down today after work, and started inspecting, to see whats what as i was given little info when i bought the bike.
28mm Carb 120 main jet 62 pilot, running a 9 plug with an aftermarket airfilter. Plug chop looks perfect.
Drained all the oil as it smelt like it was running Victa lawnmower blend, and put some proper stuff in.
Tomorrow will do the Gearbox oil, as i seemed to run out of daylight.
Plans for the future will be do clean up the bodywork a bit and maybe a respray?
Heavier fork oil and wind some spring on to set it up to my lard ass.
Maybe a chamber? and bigger carb/reeds etc.
A piston is probably on the cards to for piece of mind.
So... if anyone has anything lying around for one of these, (pipes carbs why?) Id be happy to look at taking anything off your hands.
Will update with photos as i go, and hopefully having something up keeps the motivation high.
Also keen to hear what others have done with theirs and what results they have had
Cheers
