We picked up a 125 XC on Tuesday. Just riding around the neighborhood at this point breaking in the engine. The bike wouldn't start this morning. Its was a fouled plug at .84 hours. We had to remove the tank to get the plug out. Going to have to figure out a better system for the trail and races.

Our first plug went out at about the same time. I wouldn't be concerned at all. We’ve got almost 8 hours on the bike and it hasn’t fouled another plug. It was being cold started too much and not being cleared out often enough. You’ll be fine. Which dealer did you buy from? Also when can we do a ride day together with the boys?

Great bike review. These bikes have a lot of low end especially for a 125 2 stroke. The TBI is definitely a game changer. With a heavier flywheel weight, this would be a trail weapon. Great review, and awesome bike!!

Here is the link to the repair kit. BTW it worked terrific with one modification. I used the spacer adapters I had laying around for wrap around hand guards for use on narrow handlebars. www.ebay.com/itm/155207193433?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=F9saPuPdTXG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=2CdAYhRET7q&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY As far as how to make the 85SX a better trail machine. We added a 9 oz. Flywheel weight, up one tooth on the rear sprocket, bark busters, pro circuit USF approved silencer with spark arrestor, IMS oversized fuel tank, and a good gummy tire. We used an IRC iX09 Gekkota. And use the Iridium plugs by NGK. They last 4 times as long as the standard NGK. BR9ECMIX NGK part number 2707.
