Now that is nice!

What sort of servicing needs doing on this then and how often?

Once girlfriend has passed her test was going to upgrade the XR125 to maybe the XR400 or something similar like this Cool

Apparently new piston every 7k miles so i'm told, and regular oil changes.
Looking into it and learning at the moment so im not an expert. It's just had a new piston and service though so it'll be a while yet. plenty of time to learn.
The WR has no real grumbles and got good reviews from people who commute on them too.
Just steer clear of the 03 model as they like to eat woodruff keys Smile

ah fuck it! The WR is one of the most reliable but we've stripped and rebuilt engines down the crank in college and that so here come the famous words...
'how hard can it be'

haha

Sweet. And the subframe's only very slightly out of true, which is a bonus!
