[QUOTE="dcg9381, post: 800179, member: 54134"] If you think it doesn't have traction on the street, wait till you're sliding it around in the dirt. Is this your first motorcycle? If so, I'm not one to recommend a 125 2-stroke to anyone... Mainly because you'll have issues with throttle control as a new rider. What I would do - sell / trade it for a KDX 200, if you want to ride dirt. It's much more mild in terms of power band, it's just as fast as the 125, and it doesn't get much better for trails if you're going to ride a 2-stroke. Other than that, look for a 250 4-stoke. You can learn to ride it, you managed to stay on it for 25 minutes, which is more than I'd expect if you're a new rider. If you're going to change it to do trails, you'll want to add a heavy flywheel and probably gear it down (more teeth in rear, less teeth in front). 125s all have power bands - they're tuned for motorcross...
