99 RM 125 on trails and woods riding

[motorcar]

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on modifications reccomended for using my Rm 125 for trail riding. Anyone using a flywheel weight? How about a quieter muffler. I know there are bikes more suited to trail riding, but I've already got the Rm 125. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks Jim

i run a rm 250 for trails
*orv sticker
*turbine core2 spark arrester - reasonably quiet but im sure there is quieter ones
*i dream of a flywheel weight - from what i've read they help alot for tight trails
*i bought harder tires to handle more abuse
*check and lube all suspension linkage and make sure the dust covers/seals are in good condition to keep dirt out
*run a 0-ring chain and steel sprockets to minamize wear
*set up your suspension for best handling at lower speeds and banked/rut corners or what-ever type of terrrain you ride
that bike will work just well for any trail riding you want to do

all modifications makes for improvement but it really comes down to riding technique in the end

you can have the most badass 07' 4-stroke and still be eating dirt from experienced riders on an old shabby 2-stroke from late 80's

try a small front sprocket- small as you can get-
o ring chains are heavy!!-clean them more often ,you wont need a new one
pro series carbon fiber reeds-/pipe/silencer combo
jet according to the reed package-,and the pipe manufacturer-- call them if needed
flyweights take power away- the small front sprocket will help with power,with out needing a flyweight-
small bores arent that powerfull as it is-
good tires!
