[QUOTE="dkgoodrich, post: 1273888, member: 80065"] [b]Mod Edit - Size limit for images is 800 pixels[/b] Hi, I just traded a turbo kit for a RM 125 and a KTM 125 The KTM always seems like its bogging out, never really fells like the power band kicks in. Seems to smoke alot too. It almost fells like my yz when you just start it and hasnt warmed up. It also has a back brake problem and front wheel bearing problem but I can take care of that no problem. The RM seems to be in good condition but it wont start, I think it needs new rings.. not sure If I should replace the piston as well. I checked spark, it shocked me. My YZ I just had about 800 in engine work done to it, top to bottom, the rear shock is blown, and the water pump seal is leaking. I have a used shock and new seal kit and can take care of that. I got the rm and ktm in hopes of getting something for my brother to ride and just want to get one running for him. The YZ is mine and I love it.. one weird thing, its bigger than the other to bikes, bigger wheels, bigger height, everything. Makes me wonder if the others are really 125s I guess I want to try to get the KTM in decent running condition till parts come in for the RM. How do I tell the years of these bikes? They are supposed to be a 00 and 01 and I know for sure my yz is a 00. Please help I just need direction on were to start on the ktm for sure. I'm going to tear the KTM down tom and check the reeds, power valve and clean the carb. Thanks for your time, DK Oh yea they all run that castro 997 and belray gear oil. [/QUOTE]
