Suzuki RM125 Carburetor Rejetting & Teardown

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Here's a video of the 2000 RM125 Keihin Carburetor torn apart. After a full Hot Rods Bottom end and Wiseco top end rebuild, I decided to dig into the jetting to ensure this fresh rebuild is safe in our temperature and altitude here in Alaska. Decided to increase the main jet from a 172 to a larger 175 for more fuel and a richer mixture to account for the FMF Fatty Pipe.
First time using the Hydrosonic cleaner, worked like a charm! Hope this video helps some of y'all. Like and comment if you enjoyed and subscribe for more content on projects like this.

    Great video! I recently picked up a 2000 RM125 and I am definitely running rich. Lots of spooge. I am trying to lean it out and was wondering if loosening my air screw would help? Loosening it more would bring more air to my knowledge but was trying to see how much to loosen it? I'm in the midwest and it's been quite hot this summer. Any recommendations on number of turns?

    Hi, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed! I’d first try doing some research on injection oil ratios. I’ve always run 32:1, which is pretty rich, but I’d rather have some spooge than a smoked engine! Best of luck.

    Jorge, I’m not entirely sure. But, from what I’ve read, the TPS alters the timing at different throttle openings and rpm. The solenoid valve gives the mixture extra fuel to help the carb through certain lean spots. The solenoid valves opens and closes the power jet. The power jet is the jet (beside the main and pilot) to add fuel to the mixture. The solenoid closes the power jet between 2000-3000 RPM and 9250-10500 RPM. Hope this helps.

    It appears with some research that they’re both 38mm. As for size, they may be compatible. However, look up “RevZilla RM125 jetting, as the specs might differ.” Also not sure if the Keihin/Mikuni have different bolt patterns, but maybe worth a shot depending on the price.
