I think that KTM is good to go- other than spark. That gap in the reeds will cause poor throttle response but shouldn't affect its compression or whether it runs or not.
Gotta get the KTM going and ride them both. Keep which ever one you like best. BTW, did you check to see of the KTM had spark? I sounded like it didn't even want to pop off just a little.
You need a compression tester it’ll give u an exact amount of compression. I expect 120 psi for any two stroke I be. I think u will find it very useful.
My first "real bike" was a 2001 exc125..i got it in 2003,i was 13 ,it had super low kilomiters "miles" had it for 5 years... Brings back many memories this video, cheers brother
Love ur enthusiasm. My advice to u tho is to get yourself a compression tester. It will help you no end. You can narrow down problems so much easier just by taking out the spark plug screwing it in an kicking the bike over. Anything over 100psi should start but should be higher. While doing that check spark by putting plug in the ht lead boot an rest it on engine. Metal part touching engine for ground. If u got compression an spark then its usually a carb clean. On 2 strokes anyway. Good luck to you tho.
Clean the carb if the reeds don’t fix it. He could’ve blown it up and let it sit for a while before he rebuilt it. It doesn’t look like that piston has ever been ran before. You never know. There’s a good chance those reeds could be the culprit though.
Maybe its the wrong piston size The stock have two ring And you need to go one size thiner on the cylinder base gasket if i remember the stock is 0.5 you can go 0.4 The stock reed on this years have always some gape its little bit junk
keep the yz125 and keep up the vids and I know i dont gotta say it butt throw the 2019 oem graphic kit on the yz125 youll be able to get ya money back + some!!!
Take out the reed place on top of an old credit card or something similar cut out the shape of the the reed and screw into reed. If it starts it's your reeds if not atleast you no. Don't run the bike for long as card will snap and you don't want it breaking inside engine.
Using 2 base gaskets is common practice. The measurement between the top of the piston and the top of the cylinder at TDC should be .010 mm. You use whatever combination of base gaskets you need to use to get that measurement.
Keep the crf450 2018. One of the most powerful bikes on the market. If I had to chose between the 125s. It’ll be the Yamaha all day long. I had a brand new 250sx 2018 and a yz250 2018. The Yamaha was miles better in every department. The ktm handled shit. Was unstable. The yz was a much nicer bike all round.

Keep up the good

Lookin good on the KTM….. keep up the great videos💪🏾💪🏾🔥

120 is way too low for “any” 2 stroke my 125 tests 150
@@TwistedThrottleyt yah let me re phrase I would expect that for 85 65. Would expect more of course for 125 250. My yz 125 read 145
Anything over 100 will start
i got 190 on my kx125
I have 230 on my yz250
I’m starting to like these videos more and more 🔥
Keep making these videos they’re 🔥
Fav UA-camr. Only vids I like to watch

Yes!! Great video!
did you check for spark and see if the carb is giving the top end fuel
The two stroke suits you 😵💫
Keep that KTM ripper If it checks out ok upon disassembly & all goes well upon completion. KTM 125s RIP!!
Yessir 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Bro
Great vid brother
Any way you could help me figure out why
My bike is running hot?
Where do you find broke down bikes

Yes another ktm!
Awesome vid
i have the same issues. Please let me know how u solve it. Also my spark plugs are getting fucked, which means it should be carb but idk
How much are you asking for the ktm 125 when you fix it????????
Ride both, and feel which one is better, but Ktm would be cool
Keep that ktm I really like mine.
Can’t go wrong with a Tacoma! I’m a fan of the blue.
Keep both they are really good looking bikes
You should keep doing more 125s
2:17 boys will be boys 😂😂😂
Nice video.I think that you should keep the yz.
How much was the ktm?
Keep the KTM

The spark plug, i have too this problem on my 85sx 2018
Let’s go
my bike did the same thing, in the shop for new stator right now. What are you doing to get it running?
Replaced the reeds and it runs
What’s good cuh
Keep the ktm
For how much whoud sell it
I mean idk if you turn your gas on and off a lot but at one point it was off lol maybe
Maybe its the wrong piston size
The stock have two ring
And you need to go one size thiner on the cylinder base gasket if i remember the stock is 0.5 you can go 0.4
The stock reed on this years have always some gape its little bit junk
Keep ktm
keep the yz125 and keep up the vids and I know i dont gotta say it butt throw the 2019 oem graphic kit on the yz125 youll be able to get ya money back + some!!!
Was the piston facing the right way towards the exhaust port
Yes
keep the ktm for sure
hey man i’m thinking about buying this 2020 crf110f what is the price i should pay for it?
I wouldn’t go over 2500
They have A,B, and C pistons make sure yours is the right letter!!

Its not getting fuel or spsrk
I think it s the head combustion chamber i ve had the same problem i think it will be cracked
I call Tundra, but I would recommend a GX470, I got 3 of em 😁
Ram trx is my guess for the new truck
This lil boi 😂😂😂😂
keep the ktm
I had the same problem once and it turned out that the candle was flooded
Keep the Ktm
2:16 like whata fck was that hahahahahaahahaha
Bro Danny they used two base gaskets which makes the piston not get as close making more gap and less compression
Hmmmm this sounds like it may be true. I got a new top end kit that Ima throw in so it should solve that
@@DJsGarage yeah just make sure to take off the old ones they put on 2 you can probably see it at 11:46

U getting a tundra
I think the ktm is better you should keep the ktm i have one and its nice
i’m thinking about getting an ecoboost right now
I was too u til I heard abt the cam phasers issues
looks like it got low compression
That's the problem a namura piston
I think that’s the 2020, the 2019’s don’t say ktm on the graphics on the shrouds, but maybe that just put 2020 plastic’s on it
Vin says 2019
id keep the ktm
With the Ktm 125 they tend to blow the Cdi boxes
I think you should try the 125sx and compare it to the yz125
That was my thoughts
The results are pretty obvious imo
Piston wall clearance 🤷♂️
Bud shit himself 😂😂
Are you getting a 1/2 Ton F150 or RAM?? The 2 best big trucks by FAR. The Ecoboost V6 in F150s is easy to mod...& they are fast & reliable.
I heard the ecoboost have a lot of issues involving the cam phasers. Might be a little 5 liter🤫
Seems like your boy had more compression than that ktm 😏😂
😂😂😂
any idea of how i could increase the value on my 2003 crf230f?
Take off the silencer and leave the header on lol
@@MLAuto69 ummm thx but litterly the first thing i ever did to the bike was take out the baffel
@@hatedcrf2303 yeah, that’s the first thing to at least make it a bit louder. If you have some money to spare get a aftermarket slip on exhaust for it
Put in a aftermarket powerband. I put in a purple one into my Crf230f and sold it for 4K easy
@@TheBlobGaziev ???
I’d keep the Ktm man
i bet his new truck is a v8 RAM
if you want to be more famous and make great content you need to film more when you ride or when you rebuild,just film everything

What truck are you getting? Ford f-350 or f-150??? 😂
he said a while ago he wants to get one in the future so i assume a ford of some sort
@@chrisryan9057 Yeah! He needs an f-150 because i am assuming he is not dropping 90k on a f-350 at 17! 😂

From what website do you buy your pistons for the KTM
Rockymtnatv
Ktm125
Try out a ktm you have the chance
I’d personally keep the ktm
Ktm
This ktm 125 is 2020 not 2019
day nine of commenting untill i get i bike love the videos......
Keep the Yamaha.
I would keep the ktm 125 change it up and if you don’t like it oh well just sell it and get a yz 125
I have a yz125. I’m gonna try both of them out
@@DJsGarage well that works to.
No shot that yz has 30 hours bro. They lied to you😂
My 2021 was in similar condition after 30 hours…
@@DJsGarage rusty after 30 hours?
Lol steward Baylor owns shoals mx
A boot for a blown up 125 whattttt🤔

idk about most powerful but it is a good lookin bike
but i do agree with the yamaha part
What do u think about the 05 crf450?
Is it reliable? I dont know alot
Get a Cummins
Keep the yz the suspension is super plush ktm suspension sucks
Waste of money buying top and kit no need if it runs sell it
More of a preventative cause
Keep the ktm
keep ktm
