Recently my 17 year old son son took over my KX250 2 smoker. His YZ125 just doesn't have the arse (5"10" 225-230 lbs) to get him through our tight trails. He tried my two fiddy, and said its mine now... :yikes: He likes the way I set up the KX with, gearing changes, and a flywheel weight. So I am going to sell the 125, and get me another two fiddy 2 smoker.
I was tinkering with the idea of getting something that needs a major engine overhaul. When I look for a new bike, I'll probably look at the 99-01 years (its all about the lack of money). If I'm going to rebuild one, I may as well build it to my specs... I was thinking of going with a big bore. I was wondering what's included with the big bore kits. Do I need to have the cases machined to accept the larger bore, does it require a different crank, etc... I'm also wondering about the durability after its been reworked. I'd like to do the rebuild myself, that way I would know exactly whats been done to the bike.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
