Soo I picked up this bike, guy says its a 97 125. VIN 10th digit is V which is 97. 97 125 was steel. This is an aluminium frame. Could someone have put a 125 in a 250 frame? Anyone have a manual that could check these numbers for a fellow HOON? Or could it have been made in 97 as a 98 model?

I think I'll give it a shot

Turns out its a 2000 2001. Any better as far as conversion?

Yeah I read that one, but he ended up with a 250 frame. Thanks for the info though.

The price is right, has applied triples, and I have a 89. So modern it will be for me. Aftermarket parts would consist of??? Still searching for conversion info. Is it going to be just a cradle? Also ,cant find a 250 around my parts for a deal like this. Complete roller. Minus radiators. Probably wo...

Must be a 98,99,00 Cuz its a beer can. Is an alum.125 frame suitable?

Just found a 97 125 for a song. Is this a suitable frame to convert? Seems all the other Gen 1 's are 250.

Been out in the woods twice now. First time out, only got 30 minutes in and the rear tire,which had a tube in it, twisted the tube and flat city. Second time out,rear tire problem fixed, the bike is a ROCKET. Could not find any space large enough to get out of 4th gear. Any gear ratio guru figure th...

I've got 2 BW80's Run premix thru both. Disabled oil pump no problems. They are almost exactly the same motors.

If the rain holds off or not too much. Dont think I'll get stuck

I dont think my wife and daughter would take to that very well. Trying to get her to re-locate. Somewhere west.

I wonder what the carbon output is with methanol and benol

Wanna ride in the west

Anyone? Benol? Drag raced the shit out of a ATC500 on both

Lookin to meet some local HOONS for a ride

Haven't got to ride yet waiting on some swingarm bushings from the machinist. Cant wait to let her RIP. But after riding it as a ATC, dont think it will be to hard to adjust.

I read on 3 wheeler world and those guys were putting up to 5 lbs in. I also thought it was to bleed.

Got 86 atc forks new seals and wipers and oil, Is there any adjustment other than a couple lbs. of air? Any help would be Got a brand new OHLINS rear linkless and need to somehow get the forks a little more up to par.

Can I get one or the other? Just got a new Clutch and pump side case and I think i got a later model, so will it work? It would suit my Fatty fine I think.

Is the 89 the only one with a solid stay and not a rubber isolator? The one by the H2O pump.

I run a rad valve myself, but dont do any mx Had a vf2 on a yz250, Went back to stock. My .02.

Travis, I live minutes from Milford. Have not weighed it yet, I will . Hoofarted, I do have a axle old RAD. Have complete rearend. Built this bike to be able to convert back to ATC in no time!

I do have a brake, that pic is 2 weeks old. I would turn the forks around , but then I'd lose some clearance and strech the front out. I also tried it out as this was my ATC500.

Darren here from Cincinnati O. Been lurkin' on this site for some time. I ride and dirt drag race a 89' 5. Been ridin since the early 80's. Started on the time tested xr80. Quickly moved to a Maico 440. Got hooked on the BIGBORE. Many bikes and quads in between. Fast forward to 2002, traded a 125trx...
