  • We believe 125s and low cost two-strokes are good for our sport and with a bit of a revival going on with the 125 Dream Races and efforts in Lucas Oil Pro Motocross we know these bikes are still capable of great racing when raced against other 125s. For this latest build, Jay Clark found a blown up 2004 RM125 that needed some love. This project shows you can fix up your dead 125 laying in the barn.

    I wish I could find blown up 125s for $400. Every time I see one they want it for $200 less than a running 125 🙄

    These videos are cool but I wish they would take the time to document the actual build in the shop as well. Any chance this could happen?

    Love the two stroke builds! I know it would be a little out of date but a build using a 1980's machine would be kinda cool to see how competitive it would be? Just a thought....

    Excellent video production! Great speaker *been a fan of Ping since 125 days* and wish the mfgs would listen! Riders want bikes to be FUN! Sum it up with one phrase. "I like riding slow bikes FAST!"
    Might be a good idea to link to the product pages within the description on the video.

    i just pulled out my 2001 from basement where it has been sitting in various boxes for 15yrs .... it was the first brand new bike i was able to get - got it in spring 2002 as a leftover for i think 3500 there about .... raced the full spring-summer-fall outdoor series here in western ny (then the Western New York Motocross Association) then a few races in 2003 before the lower rod bearing let go at that point i bought rm250 and moved up to 250 class (back when it was 125 and 250).i actually raced while the sport transitioned to four strokes i remember all the promises "like they would be quieter lmao" but anyway i just split the case looked it all over then ordered wiseco crank kit and piston the clutch was spanked too the baskets on those didnt hold up or allow for cooling via fluid flow through basket . sandblasted the frame put some paint on it and thats about where i am cant wait to ride that thing again like he said in video these are nimble bikes. a blast to ride and rev to the moon ill stop back and update yall with some pics ... maybe video .......... long live 2 strokes

    Love seeing the old 2strokes, like this guy says you can get one of these old bike looking good for not much money. Done my kx 125 1991 and it cost under £1900 for parts and labour (parts are a lot more expensive in the uk as we dont manufacture anything anymore) I picked the bike up for £600 so all in I was about £2400.

    Ping actually raced a RM125 for the semi factory primal impulse team. Wonder how it compared to the stock one he just rode?

  • @wessreiley8275

    Frkn awesome man i feel like this country is going under bcuz their arent too many people like us anymore. 400 dollar bike with 700 dollars of parts and its better than what it was out of the factory. Gotta love it man.

    • @mattgonzalez6123
      @mattgonzalez6123 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That is substantially more than 700 dollars in parts. Just in the wheelset alone.

    What oils do I put in it. I recently got a 2 stroke Suzuki RM125 and I am not familiar with 2 strokes. The right and left side have oil spots to go in and I need to know the ratio for the mix. If you can get back to me that would be great. Or recommend me to a website or someone to call about that stuff. Thanks.

    There's a huge number of people who are tired of fart boxes in need of expensive valve jobs and head work, who are never going to be pros, and love two strokes. Less wrenching and more riding. Thanks for the video.

  • @gauth_169
    @gauth_169 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Unfortunately the Suzuki 125 is now far from the two basics : KTM/Yamaha That’s again a big mistake from them. Suzuki is totally out, even of 4 strokes now. Just need to see all the international championships. The standard bike is already too far from the order brand.

    • @christophervillarreal8565
      @christophervillarreal8565 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      who cares the point is they dont make them anymore and the ktm are garbage my buddied broke every single fucking time at the track and we are both decent mechanics with anal tendencies and my god that piece of expensive shit broke every goddamn time. The new 2016 125 the 2017 250 and 350 only one that has been holding up without a issue is the 500 exc but maintenance and any bling is a fuckin fortune worst investment I made was in these horse shit ktm that dont sell well either.

    • @gauth_169
      @gauth_169 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I didn’t say KTM are the best bike ever, but regarding performances this Suzuki is very far from the other actual brand !
      The chassis is old, the suspensions and engine as well.
      How many horse power do you get with it?
      You care about performances if you do race !
      The Suzuki 125 has a shitty gearbox if you go on this side.

    • @gauth_169
      @gauth_169 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I didn’t say you did bad job, I appreciate this kind of project therefor that’s not the appropriate bike for racing.

    • @christophervillarreal8565
      @christophervillarreal8565 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree 100% I don't think any of the older gen even the newer gen 125cc can not compete with the 250fs but they have 125 classes that do allow modification to enhance performance but you're right it will be hard to match performance with the newer model 125cc but you wont be spending nearly as much ( new yz125 will cost more to have race ready than a say 05 kx125 bought for 1000 and put 2500 into it )

    • @christophervillarreal8565
      @christophervillarreal8565 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I didn't build it so no loyalties anywhere lol and honestly Im a bit appalled this guy had the audacity to say the build was affordable when the "cheaper" wheel set was over a grand!
