05 Yz125

[Ryno149]

I'm looking for a very in-depth comparison of the 04 YZ125 to the 05YZ125. I have an 04, and i love it, but it's time for a new bike and the local shop just sold their last 04 leftover. I know Yamaha made MANY changes to the 125, so i'm just wonderin if i'm gonna like this bike as much. Also, where could i find an in-depth list of 04 parts that won't fit on the 05. and whatever tips and tricks need done to the 05.
Thanks a bunch

Well I never rode a 04 yz125 but I got a 05 yz125 and this bike is by far one of the best production bikes ive ever rode. It corners amazing, great suspension, good motor, and feels so good in the air. The only 2 problems I had with it was the stock renthal handle bars must have been cheap(bent very easy) and you will want to consider going from a 48 tooth rear sproket to a 50 tooth rear sproket(for a little mor zip).

actually, i've raced it very hard for 8 months now and it is worn, but thats not the main reason im getting a new bike. my dad is going to ride the 04 and im going to get the 05. and, im not rich, i just have the support of a great bike shop.
