Looks like fun! great job. Hey, I just bought a YZ125 for trail riding-- It sounds like you are feathering the crap out of that clutch and killing the bike on a few occasions. Were you in the wrong the gear or is your gearing too tall? Are you running your bike stock? I haven't ridden my bike on the trail yet, but i'd like to hear your suggestions on any changes you have made, or would like to make to your bike to make it more trail friendly. Thanks, and keep these videos coming. Matt
Hey I appreciate the comment, the bike is actually geared lower than stock for more power down low for this type of single track, so bringing the rpms up in each gear for that reason, 125s don't have much down low until you get into the power band, as you could hear, that was actually first gear anytime you saw me going slow stop and go, these trails were very hilly, you can't just tractor along on a 125 unless your on flatter more open trails or faster single track, this was slow technical stuff, wasn't great on the 125 and my idle could have been turned up a bit for this ride, that's how you have to ride a 125 in this type of riding, clutch feathering otherwise it will stall out like you can see once or twice where I tried to go up something without being in the powerband, I would hit the power band and fly up on straight hill climbs, this had technical roots and stuff that I couldn't hit hard like that, a 4 stroke could go up slow like a tractor without stalling out, on a 125 you need to either fly up in the powerband or feather the clutch or stall out, the only mod on this bike is a different sprocket, I love it on open trails and faster less technical single track, this was my first time riding that technical stuff so I also wasn't at my best, my buddy on the 4 stroke was tractoring up it all with ease
Watch my other 125 videos and you'll see a better representation of the bike on more open trails and faster single track, thanks for watching and enjoy the new bike!
Wow, I can't believe you happened upon the video! Had to hype up the title for more views lol, we'll have to do it again sometime, Interlake is the best and it has even more to offer than I knew about, I really liked those trails towards the middle where it was single track but not as challenging, but there's no growth without a challenge, I really enjoyed this ride, you know those trails well! Next time I'll be more prepared for that type of riding
Interlake has some great single track. That black trail and red trail loop is my favorite
Goodjob nice ride 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thank you, I appreciate the view, more to come!
Ridin with Rick!!!! Lets gooo!!!!
