It's called no guts in second gear.Your earlier post about the gsxr is why I say that,the rpm difference between the 2 is a lot.If you want to make 2nd gear wheelies I suggest doing a sprocket change-1 down in the front and 2 up in the back that should give you some more kahuna's in second gear.

Go to bikebandit.com and look under oem parts and find your bike.Go to the air filter schematic and look for the Air valve switch-item #16126.Make sure that all the hoses going into and out of the switch are connected.That switch opens up at a certain rpm to allow more air flow which is needed...

You must have found out what happens when you twist the throttle on 123 horses,that's why most of us do not recommend this bike for a beginner.No,there is no way to do it without damaging the motor.

They go friction -steel -friction -steel- friction-steel and so on until all the plates are put in.Springs get tightened all the way with about 14 ft lbs of torque,not much just a little past snug.The first friction plate in, rests against the inside pressure plate and the last plate in rest...

Probably the quickest way to find out is to go to bike bandit.com and look to see if the #'s match on the years you want to interchange.

If you can turn the ignition switch on, and all the instruments and lights, light up-then take a jumper wire of heavy gauge or you could use a jumper cable and clip it on the + post of the battery and then take the other end and touch the stud sticking out of the starter where the red lead bolts...

Just in case that happens-yamaha has placed a master fuse in there that will blow to protect the circuits.On newer bikes the fuse is located under the starter relay or solenoid.If not there look at all the fuses in the fuse box and it will be the one rated at the highest amperage.Re charge the...

All I saw on the list was for a klx125-pistons were 36 bucks and the ring set was 25 bucks-info per bikebandit.com

The OEM clutch is very expensive for this bike-around 250 bucks just for the clutch.You can go on ebay and buy a barnett clutch kit with everything except the judder springs(not the main springs they come in the kit).Most shops charge 75-85 bucks an hour and for them it will be at least a 2 hour...

If you are really easy on the gears,then the mileage won't be so bad.You could expect 45-50 on the highway.Pull the r's up a little and it will drop right down to the low 30's.I could think of better commuters but what the hay-if you both like the bike then have a go at it.70 miles at a stretch...

You are gonna hurt that bike if you don't do something to make it easier to do wheelies .I would suggest to go up 3-4 teeth on the back sprocket and that would give you a much better chance of doing it without damaging the bike so bad.Low air will do nothing for you until you learn the...

You can go to bikebandit .com and see the coils and ignitor assembly and maybe that can tell you which is which.As for the firing order-either or...Now I have to say this;that is why C.Chris is always saying to get a manual.

It could be the starter button itself or the starter relay.Like I said before on a previous post-take a set of jumper cables,hook them on your battery-turn the switch on and touch the red lead(don't worry about the black the starter is grounded) to the starter post and if it takes off that only...

I'm getting 13.8 volts on idle to the battery. Light stays on even when engine is revved up. Why might it be so please.

---I know you are gonna hate me for saying this but you are either out of your mind or just plain tellin a fib.We all know what kind of a rider you must be if you could handle that speedy little ninja(don't get mad)after all if you are not jokin I'm lookin out for your well being.Seasoned riders...
