just picked up a leftover 01 cr-125. cant ride it yet due to snow covering up here in northern nj. i have been riding and purchasing yz125's since 99 to the present. i must say that they have been great. however, i have never owned nor ridden a cr125 and wanted to try one as a back up bike but i keep hearing stories of this so called, "lack of motor." i havent ridden the bike yet, but come on, how slow could it be? i have checked the archives and i see a lot of potential upgrades to help the cr engine but most of it is for the 2002 model. my question is would they apply and help the 01 as well? as for the reed cage, reeds and manifold mod from an 00 yz125, would this work on an 01 too? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. i hope it will be as good or close to my 02 yz125. this is my 1st aluminum frame bike and i must say it is a nice change of scenery from my trusty blues bikes. thanks again:eek:
