This "friend" of mine swears up and down that my RM125 is a "special Desert Enduro Racer"...because it has a six speed tranny!! He says.." They would never in a milion years put a 6 speed tranny in a MX bike, Its impractical cause you never get out of third gear on a track." Am I crazy....Does he know something I Dont?! I personally think hes jealous cause his newer KX250 has only 5 speeds. But...He swears it to the bitter end!! :coocoo:

All suzuki bikes have 6 speed trannys. If i recall correctly most of the hondas do to. Not sure about yamaha but i know all Kawasakis MX bikes are 5spd trannys. I think there enduros are 6 speed but not there MX bikes.

All KX125's are six speed - very common for 125's, but there have been five speeds for some 125 models in recent years.

250 smokers are commonly five spee....why am I answering this thread..... :bang:

I'm losing it....... :yikes:

So ALL KX's and Zukes arent MX bikes, But rather long haul desert racers. Intresting..

"All KX125's are six speed.." Umm...I dunno cause another guy I know has a 97 KX125, and Its a five speed.

Whatver... I thought it was funny.

Not supposed to turn into a debate, I dont really care. But RM's arent enduro bikes.....This was SUPPOSED to be the point.

If you're truly this dense you should park the bike period since you're likely only an accident waiting to happen.

I have a 98 KX 125.

6 speed tranny.

I'm wanting to try one of the newer 4 speeds that's on the...KX450F? I'm not sure.

The less shifting I have to do, the more I can concentrate on other things.

Occasionally. When it's warm the tranny shifts flawlessly
