I'm relatively new to 2 strokes, got my first about a month ago, the 99 CR125. It is virgin, and will need a new top end and fork serviced before to long. Thinking about the down time (I know those items shouldn't take long at all),I was scoping out a second bike. I ended up buying a 99 300 MXC. I'm pretty sure my CR125 is now the second bike. I've had the MXC all of about 4 days now and absolutely love it! The power is very addictive.
I cannot coment one way or another as to the reliability of either one, they both run good and start easy. I can just tell the 300, while never having the engine torn apart, has loads more compression and still seems really tight.
I was having a harder time turning with this bike until I set the COMP and REB back to standard settings, which help a bunch. Thank goodness for factory settings, I'm not experienced enough to fine tune a suspension.
Just wanted to let evyone know I've been a Honda guy all my life, always will be, but this KTM is awesome :nod:
