I just got a 03 cr125r this fall and im used to rejetting my 250's but decided to get one that i could man handle easily. Has anyone on here put v-force reeds in theres and know how much to rejet it or if you even have to rejet it. I just got them and want it ready in the spring to ride but i dont want to run it too lean.

You dont have to change jetting because of the reeds. But the 02+ CRs are not known for great jetting and being very finicky to keep jetted properly. See if there is any technical info with the reeds, there wasnt any on the mototassinari site.

Probably going to have to do some plug chops and go from there.

My buddy has an 02 cr125 that's been very finiky with jetting. Go buy a bag of jets and some plugs and get to work. Only you can tell if the bike needs jetted.

How can anyone on here know for sure if your bike needs to be rejetted or not?

We don't know what jet's are in the bike, we don't know where you ride it (elevation, humidity, temp), we don't know what condition the engine is in, and we don't know how it's running.

You are the only one that will know for sure.

So, I suggest you get the reeds in the bike and ride it. Then do some simple diagnostics to determine if you need to change jets.

This isn't rocket science. It's just jetting. There are a million guides on the internet about jetting, and all of them are about the same in method.

There's a brilliant thread on this site about reading your plugs. With all of this info at your disposal, you should be able to determine fairly quickly and accurately what your bike needs after you install the reeds.

That is way too much and you are wasting your $$$. Buy a JD jetting kit and go ride. :ride:
