Message: [QUOTE="michaelaverett, post: 1199000, member: 72213"] I have two 125's and have experienced the same problem on both. Several years ago a local 2-stroke guru told me what has already been mentioned; 125's are not supposed to idle right, and the clutches pretty much always pull when in gear. However, one thing that you may want to check out is the oil you're using in the transmission. I had a clutch problem in my 2000 RM 125 and a local mechanic asked what oil I was using. When I replied, "full-synthetic" he told me that was the problem. Sure enough when I drained the full-synthetic and put in a heavier weight, the clutch starting engaging without any problems. The mechanic said he sees this all the time. He claimed that full-synthetics and lighter oils can cause the exact problem that you are describing. I am no mechanic but I have seen this work first hand. Anyhow, just a thought. Hope you get your bike up and running. Michael [/QUOTE]
