Fire whoever played music over the 2 stroke noises on the dyno for the 2nd pull

This is the video i've been waiting for. I bought the 2023 yz125 as soon as I got the money. Been 10 years since I last got on a bike.

Great video Max, the bikes ran really well and a big improvement on the tuned bike, Roland's going to be a busy boy, will be interesting to find out how expensive it is to build a championship winning bike. Nice work again Max great content.

Thanks Kevin. The bike were working on is going to be pretty cool when its finished:)

i make 42hp on mine. Wiseco piston , clutch and basket , GYTR pressure plate. Apex head ( mx dome ) , JD Jetting pilot/needle kit ( 72 pilot/190main ), VP T2 fuel (0.5-1.0 oz motul oil added per gallon to bring it down to a 35 - 32:1 ratio for more oiling effect ) , Bill's MX pipe , PC TI silencer . i also changed sprockets rom the oem 13/49t , to 14/48t . i can get it up to 83MPH . about a 10% increase everywhere, and LOTS of overrev where its still making power well over 14K RPM happily .

I love Apex. I haven't been for years but its a real power track. I remember my mate racing a CR500 back in the 90's and around there the big bikes were completely dominant. The 500's, big Huskys and so on. Its a great track if you want fun and a workout.

I would love to have a Stic Super X carb by Stic Super Torque, to fuel that bike. My 23 yz125x has a Super X as I wasn't happy with my dialed in keihin. The gains from off idle to over rev as well as significantly widening the power curve were very impressive. With the X carb at only 1/4 throttle, it will pull just as strong as the factory keihin did at full throttle. After experiencing the impressive gains from the X carb on its own, I got the power bug. I installed a TSP cylinder head, TSP ignition module and a pro circuit pipe and silencer. The gains from these other bolt on mods individually were not as impressive, as the Super X on its own and the other bolt ons only added on to the impressive gains from the X carb. I currently have the X high power tune installed which uses a 80 pilot and a 200 main. Riders who I offered a test ride to think its a 150, its so smooth and strong and lugs very well in technical single track and actually has some bottom end torque. It will scream and pull forever on a mx track. It's so versatile. I would fit a Super X carb before a cylinder head, cdi, pipe change or big bore kit.

@ottokirk2325

Same same for my stock 200SX +Super X. At the track a buddy saw me mixing it up with faster riders on big 4t's. He asked what got into me. LOL I run the slowest turn G2 throttle cam, otherwise it's mayhem a tick above idle. I talked to a CR125 rider that removed the PWK STIC block, as it was too potent for his liking. Too bad he didn't know how to get his own setting.

Why you dont sit at the bike while testing the tuned version?

you should build a twin cr500 (cr1000)

I just realized, this guy is Martin Compston! I've watched a ton of his videos and it just dawned on me how much he looks like that guy. In other news, I read that Line of Duty is doing another series at the end of 2023!!!

You can guess how much faster its going to be. Imagine riding a 2hp, weightless bike (so 2hp against rider weight) for the amount of time the throttle is wide open and however far that would take you is going to be roughly the difference in distance. Then see how long it takes for the stock bike to cover that distance at its average speed around a lap and you can see the time difference. I based it on a 90kg rider in (in gear) and got roughly 3.1s as the possible difference. Considering there will be some time lost to extra wheelspin and the track got worse it wasn't all that far off. Of course its much more fun and much more accurate to get somone on it and see what really happens.

Funny thing is that so many people throw money at mods and weight reduction, when a gym membership would be much cheaper. 😀

Yeah that comes down to more than few HP gain, yeah it pulls longer with the CDI, which no doubt it helped the bike and let him pull a gear longer, but I think it's more line selection and getting a clear track to run the lines he wanted without getting stuck behind anyone.

Failed test! Load on rear tire differs as he sat on in the first test, and stood next to it in the other. I can easily get 1hp+ from doing that in my own dyno.

He should’ve done both Dyno’s the same!!! Why wasn’t he sitting on the bike for the stage 1 dyno? To gain 3 hp maybe??? I call shananigans!!!

@harrypeterson9287

10 ай бұрын

Not a lot you can do. It's a small engine with low torque that needs high revs to make power. You just can't change the physics. You can get a big bore kit. Get a pipe that's designed to help the powerband come on a bit sooner at the expense of some mid to top pull. Make sure your jetting is just right. You could bump up the compression a bit. You could go overboard and reject the carb for methanol and do all of the above things. In general a 125 is going to be pretty gutless unless you wring out those RPMs.

There was a series of videos I looked regarding the tm factory in Italy that stated their 125 factory bike was at 55hp. I think that’s a bit high even for a 125. 250 I can see 55 but not a 125. Interested to see what is generated. I had a factory 125 in 97 that had 38hp.
