Well finally took her out today for the run in and general fun.
The 1 hour running in period took about 2 hrs. when you actually time your rides its amazing how long it seems to take to just get 1 hour on the clock.
Still need to get the jetting sorted the pilot needs leaning off as it was a little boggy untill the revs got up then bam power, these old 125's are pretty damn quick.
here is a piccy at the end of the day.

Me and my mate both forgot our cameras so I had to use my phone.
I got a little vid that my mate done on his phone too.

The video link doesn't work.

Cool bike. Don't expect much power from the bottom end.

I rebuilt an 85 a few years ago and it had the light switch power band I road it once after the break-in and then sold it I hated the power band cause it would sneak up on you and try to hurt you I have a kdx 200 now
