I think you may be headed in the wrong direction with the 41 rear, as the stock is 42. This in itself may well not create a dramatic change from stock though. If one wasnt to slow the reaction of the bike a bit, you could use a 9T, as compared to 10, front gear along with the 41 rear and it will yield a decent ratio still slowing the bike. The larger the rear or the smaller the front, the slower the bike will go in a given gear. There are other things to reduce the power and smooth delivery, yet that is another topic. Read through the old threads.

Mind you these kids are talking about the 125's here, and personally, I found the Boyesens to be Too soft off the bottom on my old 125! Were very gintile on the wifey, though. They are a different animal! As they basically have no torque off the bottom, and to make real power, the bike needs to be up in the revs to pull. Seems to me the stock setup works fairly well. Learming the bike is another thing. Last I recall, Smage was running the V-force reeds and a 48T on the rear so he could rev the ****ofit and go in 3rd gear on big stuff. The Kiehin is difficult to fit, and may offer a bit smoother off the bottom and a bit more on top, yet unless you can use it all, it is rather useless in my mind, and not recommended to most. Still!

Yea, quite resourceful! If it works, use it! He does seem to have his stuff together at times! Notice the well groomed fingernails and cuticles! It is obvious he has found out about girls!

Ralphy is correct in his reply, however I have seen MANY that just simply just kick up the spring preload a bit and they are fine! I can name a few local experts here that are rather robust yet still run the stockers to their full limits! Add, still kick ass in the process! I would think that you would likely want to reduce your static sag(weight of bike as stood) to near naught. Specially on the rear, just see how she is setting now and adjust accordingly. Mind you, you do not really want to overwind the preloads. Yet some seem to really like them loose and saggy!

Mark of a true Pro!

What system is it? A Ducati?

Yea, well I would not know, as I sleep in the shed as the rest of the place is overrun with the wifes animals! Drives me crazy! I think I will move to the enclosed bike trailer for the winter, as I can heat it with an extension cord and one of them small electric units.

I made the wifey put out the lights! I will pack it all back come about Febuary!

You are the perfect test pilot! Tell us how it works! Otherwise, you sould try one of them Orange bikes with the Sherco motor and never worry again!

I am not sure just how you relate to the Stortz clan, but we appreciate the updates! All the best to Steve and the Stortz family and hope Eric is recovering well. My prayers go out to Eric in his time of need, he is a great kid, and I wish the best for him. Keep us posted

Slapshot goes to the local Chineese buffet for lunch! The rest of this joke is so old, I cannot tell it! Ah, well, the punchline: You leave now, you be here fo fow howa! No mor slimp! You Fat, you gonow! Come back tomowwaw!

Yea, you can trust him! A Scotsman walking through a field, sees a man drinking water from a pool with his hand. The Scotsman shouts ' Awa ye feel hoor that

That first one is just horrid! And still yet, makes me start to get the spirit! Let us have a propre representation of Ian on this oneHERE!

To be honest, there is a lot of new bling out there, all things considered! Gassers, Scorps, Evo's, Sherco's, and now the Ossa's! Pick your poison!

A guy goes into a bar, there's a robot bartender. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini." The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, "What

Good observation there Gizza! Next joke! Achmed(alias Addict) is peddling dildo's and flip flop's sandals on Ebay as a colour package Crimbo deal for the wife! Pink is in! I gotta get in on this, as if she does not like the flip flop's, she can go ---k er'self!

Do the sizes seem to run true? My NZI says XL 59, so if these run true ar 59-60 a L would work?

Practice more! Loose some weight! They run hand in hand! Hopping is not easy! Your timing needs to be correct! Actually if you find an old bike like a Techno or an old 315 Mont, it will make the Sherco feel like a feather when you get back on! Did you trash your stock shocker? I may want it!

You failed to mention your airscrew position, As most of the Kiehins seem to like around a 45-42 on the pilot jet to stat in a more accepptable range on the needle. 1/2- 1-1/2 would be the preferred range on the airscrew, and if you are well over that to get good idle, you may want to consider a change on the pilot jet in order to achieve a smoother transition to the needle as things could get a bit rich in the transition range with the 48. A 125 on the main is a good start, if it runs out well, yet you may need a bit leaner if it does not clean out well. This is generic, as your mileage may vary!

I just need a bike that balances itself like that! Not concerned about the cost! No really, looks like a good go for the charity it seems!

Very good stuff!

Yea, have seen it before and think this kid is just too much! Can someone get him on a motorbike! Please!

Here is a nice saffie joke for Tim! This novel marks the stuning American debut of an internationally acclaimed writer. Combining the narrative drive of Birdsong with the emotional resonance of The Reader, The Mark of the Angel is a haunting and unforgettable tale of three lives woven together by longing, fate, and the weight of history. The year is 1957, and the place is Paris, where the psychic wounds of World War II have barely begun to heal and the Algerian war is about to escalate. Saffie, an emotionally damaged young German woman, arrives on the doorstep of Raphael, a privileged musician who finds her reserve irresistible. He hires her, and over the next few days seduces her and convinces her to marry him. But when Raphael sends Saffie on an errand to the Jewish ghetto, where she meets Andr

Now THATS funny! I don't care where you're from!

I recall the early models being very gentile. Enjoy your sweet bike! If you hopped upon an '03, you might be shocked! The 2000 model was a fave of mine, specially the 250, as far as smooth controllable power. Seems things started going a bit balistic after that!
