taffe Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hi Bob, I had same issues same bike same age. I'll check my service records but mainly I retarded the ignition, swapped the flat slide carby for a Delorto. Then to make it look after me better I fitted a top dollar shock, TRP. Cheers Taff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stpauls Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Get a Sherco 125. It will do everything you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Try a slow throttle. If that doesn't do it, don't mess about: just dump it and get a standard 125. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 The standard flywheel from a 250 should work on it and add a couple pounds. Call Splatshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
