Can't wait to see that, That'll be alot of work. Guess i'm not going to the track tomorrow. Dad works everyday except the day the track is closed and the only way I got to take it to the track is driving his van. Which he's using. So idk how this will work. I havn't even got to ride my bike yet except for once down the road and back. I went to cyclegear and got stuff though. A bottle of engine ice, motul 800, maxima chain lube, no toil air filter, and some carbon fiber oakleys, Was going to get some thor goggles but $15 more carbon fiber oakleys I was like fk it lol. Also ethanol free gas. Already got gas mixed, air filter in, everything ready to go. Now I have no way to get to the track lol

Went to track today and did pretty good for first time on the track. Was clearing alot of the jumps at end of the day. Had to swap spark plug before I left to get it started but was all good after that.
Washed it up after I got done now it's lookin good again. My chain did come loose while at the track and not sure why. But I had no tools and rode with a really loose chain. Going to tighten it up and make sure it's all good and relube it for next time

Nice! Get a gopro and maybe I can offer some tips for the track.
I have my bike fully stripped down and the frame is already in the painting stage, Soon as the subframe arrives I'll have to modify it a little so everything bolts up once that's done I begin the engine & suspension repair stage then I'll order the newer tank, Seat and airbox along with new plastics, New bars & grips, then it's just a few little details here and there and she should be ready to hit some jumps, Gonna find a good spot to ride and start trying out some tricks and see how long it takes to break something.

Lol can't imagine how much all that's going to cost you. Right now I need to learn to slide it through turns everytime I get sideways I gotta left off and catch it lol too nub. Ramping is fun as crap though. For some reason all the small jumps seem sketchy but the high jumps are super fun. I need a front tire real bad and almost a new rear. My front tires flat right now it has like a line all the way through the side and cracks through the middle and stuff from dry rot I guess. The rear one has cracks all the way through it too. Surprised the front one didn't just blow out. I kinda just noticed it flat when I was leaving lol

dO EET!
Feels f***ing weird putting this much into a 125 when I've always been a diehard big bore 4 stroke rider but I think after it's done I won't care because of that little voice in my head reminding me that I built this one.

Always feels good when you do it yourself. My dads picking up a new dunlop mx51 tire for my front on his way back from work tomorrow, And some spark plugs. I'ma pay him when he gets home. My savings is disappearing fast dude! Ugh lol. Going to get a rear tire later once I get more money also, How much difference will a bashed in exhaust pipe make than a non bashed in one. Right now I have the stock pipe and it's literally bashed in pretty damn bad. In pics it's hard to tell but it's like bashed in over 1-2 inches. If I got a fmf pipe what kind of difference would I feel. Also FMF or PC pipe? I heard PC pipes will crack shortly

Welcome to MX bikes :lol:
Fmf has always been really popular, I myself fancy pro circuit because that's what all the pro's use.
As for difference I can't say if there will be a big difference but having non dented pipe will increase the powerband.
You can look up youtube vids on how to repair the dented pipe and see if any of the methods will work, It does't have to be perfectly smooth unless you're OCD and want every last bit of potential out of it.

I was thinking FMF pipe with a PC R304 shorty silencer, I want the pro circuit silencer but I heard the pc pipes tend to crack so I was kinda scared about that. Can't afford to put more pipes on it all the time lol
