Hi folks.
Yes I know its a TDM forum but I need some help. So I reckon the is the best place to go.
My 14 year old son has been pestering me for a " Field " bike for Crimbo so I found a KX125 that needed work. The last few weeks have been spent hiding in a neighbors shed fetteling away. Fork seals, carb clean, discs, pads, calipers, clutch basket(bodge) oil seals, etc, etc.
The problem is:
I finally got it running right and found a quiet spot that I could "pootle" about on it before the 25 th.
Sweet holy baby Jesus .. It unleashes a new demon from hell with every gear change !!!! Its either spinning the back wheel, popping the front, or both at the same time... While this has brought a bit of life back into this old dog, I cant give it to my son with out some sort of exorcism. My wife is quite fond of the boy so I have to tame the beast... This is where your collective knowledge comes in.. I hope...
I have drilled and threaded the twist grip and fitted a screw to restrict throttle movement and am considering the twist grips with reduced travel but I am wondering if I there is any other way of making it safer.
Can I disconnect the power valve and lock it closed WITHOUT CAUSING HARM TO THE ENGINE. Coking etc.
Can a restrictor disc be fitted to the carb to slow it. If so, size, linky etc etc
He has never ridden a twist grip with clutch lever before so you can imagine how stupid I feel with a week to go and a mass murderer parked in the shed..
All / any help greatly appreciated. Abuse also accepted.
Time is ticking and insanitycaluse is on the way
HELLLLLLP!!!
