This guy is so helpful he needs way more followers
OG Kev thanks bro, you can help me out if you like the videos, share like and comment.. and it will grow. ;)
I'm doing so
He has one more here now 😁
Ik right
dude, you are a life saver. I thought my bike was broken for a week, because it wouldn't cold start. Turns out it was because I was using the throttle when I tried to cold start it. My rm85 runs great thanks to you. subscribed.
thats great, glad to hear you got her running! welcome on board!
It probably can't start bcuz it's a Suzuki
Rip it’s a suzuki
@lizardman2885 I know I'm a little late but what happened to Suzuki??
I know how to start my bike obviously but i still watch these 😂
thanks Emma ;)
Me too 😹
Same
I just rode my first 250 to stroke and the hardest part was starting it this helped a lot!!
cool, I am glad it helps!
I wish my bike started that easy
Yeah, not everyone can afford expensive race ready eurotrash lol. I feel ya, if its a little damp out on a cold start my bike will not start until the 10th kick or so. On a clear day it'll start in less then 5 kicks usually though. Went from electric start to kick start and I can say its easier to start after laying it over in a mud hole (mentally) if that makes any sense
.
@@ThatMotorsportGuy I have a Honda CR from 2006 that I bought for 1500€ and it starts first kick.
kråkfia dude same, but it’s 2007
Sam could it possibly be the top end? My 91 yz250 takes about 10 or so kicks to start and takes a while to idle nice
Mine is a 1985 kdx80 and starts in 2 or 3 kicks some time 1
This was a really helpful video for someone who has never road before. Thanks!
Cool, I am glad it helps. Thanks for sharing
Keep the videos coming, as a street rider with no knowledge of dirt riding these videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Matt, I will!
thank u for all your videos they help me so much
Excellent job bro, I appreciate your time and patience
I think it would be helpful if you posted a video on how to rebuild a 2 stroke 85cc top and bottom end. I haven't seen any good videos on it and I don't really wanna rebuild mine till I see a video
Oneway Jaye it's not really different with larger bore engines. watch one of a more common 2 stroke rebuild (125 or 250) and follow the same basic steps.
+M4TT4TT4CK6161 that's what I wanted to say, follow any 2 stroke rebuild video, it's pretty much the same. I am too big for 85 and my son still too small ;)
Oneway Jaye
so what your saying is in like 8 years you'll do the video when your son has an 85 thanks bro
NED STARK more like 2-3 years, he is 7 now
You'r great man, you helped me a lot w/ this videos, from chooseing a good dirt bike and how to start it and how to keep it in a good shape, thanks you have my like and I'm following you every week. Have a good one.
thanks for feedback Robert, appreciate it! feel free to ask anything or suggest video topic as well. Take care!
Hey Men. Thank you for this video. This is so helpful to me. Thank you thank you.
I am glad it helps :)
Found an oldy but goody, as for me 20 plus years being away from dirt bikes this is valuable info!! Love all your videos.
haha, glad you like it John
I do it the same as you.
Works fine for me..
The KTM manual says quarter throttle for warm engine
And two thirds for cold engine.
Another tip I see very few people doing, is to slowly kick the bike 2 or 3 times as a sort of primer. Helps lubricate the cylinder and is easier on your kick starter if the bike doesn’t want to start first kick cold.
Thats a good tip Chris, thanks for sharing!
That is KEY!
That's to feel the piston hit TDC ,makes for a full kick on the kickstarter hence, easier, less effort, and by design 👍
Sorry, that means, Top Dead Centre ,piston's as far as it can go up stroke, hope that helps 👍
Very helpful man, thanks
Thanks for the tips!! Very helpful
Bro... I feel stupid. Got back into dirtbikes but bought 2 strokes for me and my kids recently. Yesterday COULD NOT get them started very easily. Took like 5-10 minutes to get all 3 rolling and broke a sweat. Today I walked out there and found top of stroke perfectly and didn't even kick the shit out of them, just went full stroke, all 3 kicked over 1-2 kicks NO PROBLEM. I really hate to admit that this basic video helped me but SOOO glad it did lol. Thanks man!
I had the same problem today lmao 😂 foot was sore as hell, I could have just watched this video
Really helpful video he should have way more followers. Great job
Thank you very much! Very imformative video. I can now kick start my motorcycle easily. 👍
cool man, glad it helps!
Quite a library of useful videos that you have put together. Everyt ime I need a little information or direction on something, you usually have something that helps. My son's recent purchase was a used 85, and for whatever reason it would only start with some throttle. We've had some work done on it, like a new piston and ring, and we continued with the throttle to start with choke, and it wasn't cooperating too much. After watching this video, our last ride day went perfect. Every start literally took one kick ---- whether hot or cold. We just followed the tips on this video. Great.
thank you for sharing, I am so glad to hear that the videos are helping you guys to have fun on a dirt bikes!
@@dirtniron They are definitely more fun when they start on the first kick.
I bought an 87 yz250 that sat for 2 years and wouldn't start and paid $200 for it. Had it for 30 minutes riding it around the block and it was running strong. A year later still have the bike still runs strong and am confident the bike will start when out on the trails and track. Nice complete dirtbike with a powerful engine and suspension sucks but its in good condition just 80s suspension is miles behind 90s and 2000s suspension that im used to riding
Thank god, i have a vintage 2 stroke suzuki, not a dirt bike, its a pain turning it on when its cold, now i can do it easily, i hope its stays like this forever
Thank you I thought my bike was clapped Bc it would take forever to start but now it fires on 1st kick!
This literally solved my problem! Thank you so much
Glad it helped!
can you make a video explaining parts of a dirt bike. im new to the scene and im trying to understand the parts before I commit and buy one
yes I can do that, thanks for suggestion
Would love to see how much knowledge you gained in the past three years definitely rebuilding by now
3:34 to 3:48 is all you need to know 😂 that was pure magic. I knew sometimes I was getting a weak feeling on the kick starter, and I could cycle the engine once more to get a firm kick
Thanks bro. Thought my bike kept switching off because I was stalling it or something but it was because I used the throttle
Awesome tips! I added this to my list and sub'd!
thanks Carlos, welcome on board!
He really need more subs and follow.💪 he’s helpful
thanks man, glad the video is helping!
Hey a while ago I asked you for insight on bikes, picked up a 250 SX, first 2 stroke. Best decision of my life. Now although it's an SX, I'm slowly converting it to xc as the only xc for sale in my area are $5000 and up. So ya I love it
thats great man! what year did you get ?
@@dirtniron I got a working KTM Sx 250 in decent shape running for 650€, piston needs to be changed
Oh wow thank you. I am new to dirt bike's and before that i rode a quad so i didnt even know where the chok was. So thank you :D
Glad it helps! Thanks 👍
i love that yz125 1999 model
Thank You very much Great Video my friend.
thanks bro! I am glad it helps!
these videos are so great man, im bying a 2007 Rm 85 in a week and these videos have helped me know all the maintenance i need to do and how to check everything, thanks so much man! 5k subs, should be 50k atleast in my opinon, sutch great videos, keep it up bro!!!!
+ThAt AcE Thanks bro! Good luck with your purchase!
:D oh and btw what do you think is a good price for a new fixed Rm 85 2007 ?
1000 -1500 maybe... what are they asking ?
800 :D, works fine, no major problems :P
go for it!
Thank you so much, you made me not sell my bike. My mom was gonna sell it if i didnt learn how to start it and you helped me thank you so so much!!!
Glad I could help!
I rev my two stroke to warm it up, but if it's a 4 avoid giving it throttle top end is dry when starting from cold. Nice video
+Jack Logan yep, blip the throttle to clear the pipe
Nice and simple.. I got the 03 ktm 200cc gots ballllls. Looks like we both have the same carburetor.
Yes they do, good bikes!
Do you put your foot at a angle so it misses the footpeg? I've tore boots years ago by keeping them too straight. Good info and thanks.
Dirt N Iron I'm still looking for a dirt bike, just sold my minibike for 300. I'm not going to stop looking, I'm literally motovated. Thanks for the videos they are really helpful.
sounds good my friend! ;)
Yeah I was two days too late after he sold it on a nice dirt bike right down the road from me but he forgot to take his post down on Craigslist so after that I will never stop till I find one.
Vaneater you will find one for sure!
Dirt N Iron I found a 2008 kx85 with with it says new head, pistons, rings etc. for 1200. It's 2 hours away from me. It looks nice do you think that is a good deal or should I keep looking?
That ktm is so clean :D Great deal!
thanks Emil
I watched this in the woods and it saved me from 2 hours of trying to start it
glad it helps!
@@dirtniron bro i’m new to this sport and it really did, i have husqvarna 300 2stroke from 2009 and it helped me finally start it
Took me 40 mins to start my brand new 2 stroke 250 😂
Great videos man!
I like your boots, too! What are they!?
Thanks Eric! Boots are Wolverine Raider, this is my second pair, like them a lot.
I pretty much set on a 2t for my next bike, I
have two questions;
Does a 2t kick back hard and often like a 4t, never
or rarely?
Could you do a video on starting the 2t when it is
flooded, air locked, flamed out, hot, or god knows what
just not starting easy after riding a while?
Thanks!
Thanks so much lol in a beginner but I got it first try
Great job!
Thx man
Hey, I'm looking towards a dirtbike. I'm 5'5" 130lbs. Would a 2001 kx100 be too small or just fine?
Hi do you think I should get a 125 2 stroke of a 250 four stroke and does that premix that you use does it leave a lot of carbion thank you I love your videos.
what kind of riding are you going to do? how old, heavy, tall?
Great video. But, make sure you don’t get carbon dioxide poisoning. I don’t know if a window was open or not. Overall, you made a great video though.
Thanks bro, appreciate your concerns. I will make sure to have plenty of fresh air in the garage. ;)
If you open a window how else would you smell the klotz 😉
Let out the smell of 2 stroke exhaust? are you crazy?
carbon monoxide bud
It works even being smaller on a bigger bike
Maybe a how to clean and lube a chain video? I would love to see your way of doing it just like how i follow how you do pretty much everything else !
thanks for suggestion, I will put it on the list
KinMoral you literally put it on a stand when your washing it and spin the back wheel holding a brush on it then you do the same and spray chain line on it 🤦♂️
When it high idles you just close the choke ? Or what do you do ?
I have a yz250 what are you mixing because there’s zero smoke coming out of your exhaust and I’d love that currently I’m using 50:1 in a 5 gallon gas tank minimal oil comes out of the exhaust
i am using 50:1 also
hey I might get a crf250 but starts after 3 kicks
why do the YZ125's RPM's seem to take off with the choke on with a cold start ?
Are you supposed to hold the clutch or not. I don’t know a lick about dirt bikes but I’m going to get one.
no need for clutch, start it in neutral
Just wondering if a 125 2stroke would work for me. Mid 50's, 6'4'' and 325 pounds. I want to ride motocross stye riding. Great channel, keep the videos coming.
based on my limited experience I think 125 seems little small for you...
Able To I think you would need a 250
any tips on clutch problems? Like when you put it to any gear other than N and hold clutch, it doesn't engage
looks like its slipping, first change the oil, make sure you use good oil, adjust the clutch and see how it feels, if still doesnt engage then open it up and check the clutch, you might need new one.
@dirt n iron am I suppose to keep my gas on for warm start and to I keep it on while I ride it
+Mexi x Atomic yes of course
What if it takes still closer to 10 kicks to get going when cold. Its a 95 kx250
Lmao i have a suzuki rm80 that has been sitting for almost 10 years and i cleand the carb than took quit a while to get it started but i did axectly what you said and it started right up great vid realy helpfull
cool, I am glad it helps! thanks for sharing bro!
great video! i notice the fuel valve is facing the opposite way to normal, did you change it around to stop someone messing with it or is that the KTM way?
I am not really sure to be honest
Do I put the pet cog back up and put the choke down once it’s good and running ?
just the choke, leave the petcock open
Hello, Dirt N Iron, I have a quick question for you. I should be getting a bike soon but i'm debating on a CRF250R and a 1990 YZ125 for $1800 which looks and at least says its runs very nice. I know the downfalls of a 2 stroke and also a 4 stroke but I am still unsure. And I am not very uneducated on carbs and engines, I know quite a bit about them, but not everything. I am 13 years old, I weigh about 130 lbs, I'm 6 foot tall, and I am doing mostly trail riding but not very tight trial riding mostly wide trials but some tight trials. I have some dirt bike experience but not a lot, I would start on a 150 4 stroke if I really had to, but its just uncomfortable since i'm 6 foot plus I would like something a bit faster. I have a lot of riding experience on mostly four wheelers, right now I ride a 2013 Raptor 700R SE. Right now I am leaning towards the YZ125, although mixing gas is a con for me. Here is the YZ I am looking at, maybe you could inform me on why not and why to get a 2 stroke especially for trial riding. I have rode a lot on 2 stroke snowmobiles and so far haven't messed up a engine but snowmobiles 2 stroke engines are of course a tad different, thank you! :)
125 2 stroke is somewhat lazy from the bottom and rips once you hit the powerband, that's why its not the best bike for technical trails when you many times need to lug the bike in low rpm, you would find it little lazy I think. 250 4 stroke has more linear power delivery and pulls better from the bottom. both can be fun on the trail, they just need to be ridden differently. I definitely suggest to get full size bike, skip 150 4 stroke, I think you can handle full size. If you are leaning towards 125 then go for it, it will be great bike for you. Good experience to have, you can always sell it and get something else if this doesn't work for you, used bikes don't really loose value in a year or two.
Thank you for the fast response, I have another question and something to say. It wouldn't really hurt me to rebuild the top end of the engine after 100 hours on a build because I do enjoy messing with engines even though I am not the best at it. The reason I have been leaning away from the 250 4 stroke is because the price difference and I can barely find a 250 around where I live. I love the 2 stroke sound but yet like you said I would probably foul some plugs but I do tend to go pretty fast but not fast fast on trials. Like I said I would really want the 2 stroke but, do you think if I took care of usual maintenance and treated it well it would last me 100 hours till a top end rebuild? My brother had a KTM 125 2 stroke and rode it around everywhere with us and always made it around but he got rid of it and he never had to do engine work to it, he had it for about a year. But I guess it varies. So what do you think would happen to the bike (the 2 stroke) after about 50 hours of trial riding going medium speed. Thanks for the response and any tips on a 2 stroke that would help me please say, thank you. :)
I would also like to add the bike, this isn't exactly where I live so Ill just put the link of the post. nmi.craigslist.org/mcy/6140903633.html
+Cj you should be able to get 50-100 hours out of it on the trails. 2 strokes are great, jetting is important, keep the filter clean, mix the gas correctly and have fun!
Hey, just figured I'd update you, I ended up getting a 1999 YZ 125 that went up for sale lately it has a whole different pipe and silencer and sounds awesome. so far I'm loving it and just wanted to update you. :)
Oh my dads old ktx was an absolute barstard. If u got it started you were on the back wheel in 4th gear. But most of the time ud drag it out the shed spend half an hour kickin the barsard, crack the shits and put it back in the shed. but if u finally did get it started then u were too tired and sore to ride it. Its worse when u come off. U go ass up on a dirt track when ur kilometers out in the bush and the only way to get back without dying of thirst or the sun was to kick start the flooded fuking thing while extremely sore
Thank you for this Great Informative video!👍 Love your content!👍
thanks, I am glad it helps!
Mines a super cold blooded 1993 ktm 300...and it's a b!itch to start and I don't know why. It's sooooo frustrating! Thinking about getting a treadmill to help it get fired up.
What about that fuel you turn it on, do I need to turn it off when the bike started like you did to the choke, or keep, leave it on?
Leave it on once the bike runs, you need fuel to run if :)
Now if I could just get my 89 LT 500 to start that easy I would be a happy man indeed .
Lol isn't that the quadzilla, those things are insane and still hold the record for fastest production atv
I have a 02 husky wr250 2 stroke. Winterized it about 5 years ago. Thinking about giving it a kick
how did it go?
@@dirtniron haven't had the chance yet but gonna give it a try this weekend. One year I left it outside all winter untarped at a friends house. It literally started 1st kick so I'm still confident from then lol
Thanks braaaaap😅
I have a 1995 rm 250 ot runs like a champ when on gas but as soon as you let off the gas it will cut off is this idle or something els
idle, jetting
My cr125 has set for about a few months and I tried starting it yesterday but I couldn't get it started, any help?
make sure you have spark, use new spark plug, make sure you have clean carb, try to follow the procedure from the video, it should start. You might need to clean the carb maybe, the pilot jet might be dirty or clogged.
Hi, I have an Yamaha RX100 Japanese 1989 model recently changed the engine oil and 2t oil. I turn off the fuel at night and in the morning when I turn it On it doesn’t start. I had to let it be for 5 min and then kick it again to start. Is it common for old motorcycles?? Any suggestions for this?
are you using choke?
I don’t use. Is it mandatory??
Did he put in the clutch
So my 250 has been sitting for a few months
I went to start it and it went wide open like I had the throttle all the way back
Is this normal?
I turned it off thinking I would possibly damage the bike.
Mind you this is the first 2 stroke I've owned.
no thats not normal, good you turned it off right away. there is something with your carburetor, check it the cable works fine, if it isnt shut open, clean the carb, inspect it.. there is something wrong.. make sure you have enough gas flowing to the carb.. sometimes when running out of gas your rpm will go up like that..
Old gas probably clogged your carb. Tear it apart clean it and put fresh gas.
yeah i cleaned the carb out after that, the old cable was a bit damaged, have one on the way and hopefully that fixes the problem.
Thanks for the reply
Tommy Emery i would definitely clean and maybe rebuild/rejet the carb depending on how it ran before it sat- idling,starting hard like my suzuki...
my 125 hated to start even on 80 degree (ferenheight) days i would have to do everything including some crazy things to get it running. i figured out later that the last owner put a racing ignition system in it and that was the problem.
i would mainly check the carb and ignition system and make sure its not a 20$ ebay kit that does nothing but make it run like junk
either way i hope you can do your fix and keep riding👍
Tommy Emery make a video of it running and post it? Just run it for a few seconds don't blow it up then maybe we would have a better idea of what it's doing sounds like your throttle is stuck open tho
Hi I just bought a 2011 ktm 105 , and it will only ever let me start it I’m neutral, even when in first or second when I pull in the clutch it will never start. Also when in 1 or 2 or etc other then neutral if I stop giving it gas even when I have the clutch pulled in it will always stall and turn off, am I doing something wrong? Appreciate if I could get some help on this one
your clutch might not working properly, might be pulling little bit even of engaged.. try to raise a idle a bit, it might help
One common problem with carburettor dirt bikes is there is not fuel in them after they have stood for a while and if you don`t put the bike on the side flooding the carburettor you can kick them for minutes without they starting. My WR450 was like that and I see many other bikes with carburettor must do the same.
thanks for sharing, I never had that problem though..
Awesome vid Dirt N Iron ! Subscribed ! I like your vids and explanations, refreshing compared to the other stuff out there. I have a question please... I just bought a yz125 New* . When I bought the bike the dealer had the pre mix in and everything was ready to go. I haven't been able to ride it or break it in at all since I got it almost three weeks ago. (sigh*) my dealer has said to me it's fine if I start it up and break it in without draining the fluid and Re-mixing even though its been sitting. By the time I ride it will be about 3 weeks and a few days. I have read online that possibly you should never use pre mix thats been sitting. ( so many opinions on everything) The dealer says its no issue... Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated. Could the sitting fluids cause havoc in the bike? And or could it potential be harmful for break in. Thanks SO MUCH!
To be clear the dealer* said within my time frame of 3-4 weeks its fine. I did not asking about anything longer.
James, congrats to your purchase, you got yourself great bike. Personally I wouldn't worry about gas that has been sitting 3-4 weeks, just start it and break it in following the manual. My 2 strokes sits for a month sometimes and I never had an issue, you should be fine. Good luck bro!
Thanks so much man, really helps me. So when the Manual says "do not use premix that is more than a few hours old" Its probably just to cover the manufactures ass right? I'm assuming every manual says that. Thanks again !
+James Agostino yea, I think so. They tell me to change top end on my RMZ each 12 hours :) that's like once a month if you ride each weekend. But if it is not too much hassle, drain it and get new gas I bet you don't have full tank. Just because it is brand new bike before break in. I think that's what I would do now when I think more about it. Out of the respect for new bike, she deserves to start her life in a best possible way. ;)
Dirt N Iron I'm thinking that makes the most sense .. why not right !? . Last thing ... would you drain anything else ? Or premix is probably it and I'm good to go? Thx man!
Guys let say I'm going from 5th gear to 1st do I just hold in the back brake till it matches the speed for 1st gear then clutch in and shift all the way down and when I shift down since the bike still rolling a bit can I let off the clutch straight dump it ?
you should shift down thru the gears as you slow down, use both breaks as well... yes you can just dump your clutch, just make sure that you dont carry to much speed...
Dirt N Iron Last question and thank u very much do I have to press he clutch in to kickstart it ? And do I need to do with front.m brake or can I do without
you dont need clutch and brake for kickstarting,
Nice vid! Keep up the good work, I have a question, should I get a cr 125 or a yz 125??
+Real Trikz Gaming do you like blue or red? :) I don't really like one more than other, both are great bikes, get the one you can find better deal on
Real Trikz Gaming Personal choice. I would get a yz
Dirt N Iron at the minute I have a crf 150f and it runs great and my local mx shop says they will swap my 150 for their 2016 cr 125 which I think is a good deal :)
+Real Trikz Gaming are you sure it's 2016 cr?
Dirt N Iron yes
What boots are you sporting in this video? Looking for a new pair and you seem like you know what’s up
These are wolverine Ryder, I like them a lot
Hey guys I had just got a 2002 yz 125 , and it’s my first 2 stroke and I trail ride , can someone help me out to find where to get the oil mix for the gas and how much to put
any motorsport store or online.. its super simple.. ratio is always safe to follow the manual .. I think 40:1 is good place to start. good luck Chris!
I have a kx100 2 stroke and it does not idle for more than 30 seconds does that mean anything are they supposed to idle like that
Everything an Anything they are supposed to idle longer, probably air screw need little tweaking. maybe raise the idle a bit
I’m a 4 stroke guy but want a 2 stroke do u have to change gears differently?
yes, but its a lot of fun
You should do a supermoto build to complete collection and start vloging rides!!!
+Kulafachi that would be fun, I might do it in the future. Thanks for suggesting
quick question. how do you get on a dirtbike that you cant throw your leg over because you are to short and there is no kick stand suck as the yamaha yz250f.
+Joel Wellman I have short friend and he throw his leg around the bike once the bike is moving. He got wr with electric start though.
whats the point of having no kickstand anyway? just makes everything easier and better for short people. guess i will just have to get some work boots or riding boots to increase my height.
what do i do if my bike won’t idle 2 stroke
Im just getting into dirt bikes i will like to know what do 2 strokes and 4 strokes mean on a dirt bike is it like gears im kinda lost
+henchboy123 it's not just for a dirt bikes. In general there are 2 kinds of gasoline engines. 2 stroke and 4 stroke. There is plenty of info on internet describing the difference. 2 strokes are simple, have more emissions and power... I suggest to do some research, it's good to know how engine works and what are pros and cons of different engines.
New to dirt bikes. Got a ktm 250sx. Sometimes when I kick I hear a click half way down the stroke and it doesn't catch then I kick again and it's fine. Happens maybe 1/10-15 times. Normal? Am I doing something wrong? Kickstart spring?
+stfuandLiftBtCh sounds like there is something going on with kick starter. I would take the cover off and inspect it
stfuandLiftBtCh your not kicking hard enough
I'm buying a yz450 tmrw kick thank you
how do i know if the compression is too low? and what should you do if it's too low?
Edoardo Mauri on a 2 stroke you shouldn't be able to start the kick start the bike with your pinkie. If you wanna be precise you can go to a auto parts store and get a compression tester and put it in to your spark plug hole and test it. Google the number your bikes compression should be at. If it's too low you'd need a top end rebuild.
+Edoardo Mauri you should have good resistance on the kick starter, it should not be too easy, you can get gauge and measure it and then check toward recommend values from your bike. Once it's too low you need to rebuild top end.
+Oneway Jaye sounds good!
Thanks :)
oh thank you my leg is broken btw i have husqy cr 125 and the kick back is really strong
sorry to hear that bro
when do you turn the gas line off, when you are finished riding?
yes, thats a good habit to have. Turn the gas off after riding
Do you hold your clutch in when you kick start
no, I dont
Hey is it normal for the bike to rev high when starting with the choke on
Your idle might be up to high gotta turn it down
Nice video man, but you really should do yz125 video of riding and review, i want to buy one (2001-2005) and as i see its 1999-2001 (yours)
yes, mine is 99, I dont ride it that much, I have it in case my friends want to join me sometimes, or learn to ride. Let me see what i can do
Well see i gues...keep up the videos
It is normal that high idle start with the 125?
It is what hapens tho mine, and I dont now if its right or not.
To my, doesent same right that the bike revs that high with the engine cold, but maybe its normal.
its normal with the choke on
@@dirtniron Thank you very much!

Hey! Can you maybe make a Video How to set the Idle From the Motor? (idle mixture /standgas)
I am asking because my Husqvarna cr 125 is to
turning off in 1 gear (pulling the clutch)
i will put that on list, thanks for suggestion. there is idle adjuster screw on the carburetor, play with it little bit, i think you need to raise it a bit
Thank you very much for the answer! :)
I appreciate it.
