Gonna derestrict my RS125 myself.

I have bought a Rave unit, power valve, solanoid and cable.

I was thinking of fitting them myself then limping to a local garage where they can set up the carb on their dyno.

Just want to know if this sounds ok and what other stuff I need.

I assume a new sparkplug but what else?

Do Denso do an iridium one for an RS125 cos I have them in my car and pleased with them.

Cheers

iridium plugs are useless on 2 strokes. just go for a normal one.

also, buy the new jets. as its a single, it wont need setting up other than the new jets and adjusting the idle. save yourself the money.

What is the best plug to go for then?

Heard you can blow the engine if you still use the plug from the restricted engine.

no idea, i would imagine you use a slightly hotter plug, but iridium is designed for 4 strokes. people just use them on 2 strokes as they fall for the fact some people sell them as a ''performance part'' Laughing

someone else will know.

Think mate who was using his rave valve and deresteicted was running br10.
Your probably still running a br9.

hi,
unless your carb is set up perfectly, dont bother with the iridium.
as once fouled- its fucked!
although i did run on an iridium for a while & thought it performed slightly better (probably all in my head, lol)
anyway, recommended plug : NGK BR8 - restricted.
BR10 EG - full power or BR9 "for predominately urban riding"
i found the BR9ES the best for commuting, as i was stuck in traffic a lot & didnt get to use the pv as often as i would have liked!
but if your planning on thrashing it, stick with the br10!
pretty simple enough job,
connect solenoid up,
remove blanking plate & plug in blade,
(do the CDI mod when your at it)
make sure you have a de-catted exhaust!
stick a bigger main jet in (depending on what you have in there now)
cheers,
GAZ

Thanks guys.

Just out of interest what would have if you just fitted summat that made the exhaust valve open all the time?

Would it just not work at low revs??

The point of an exaust valve is to close up at lower revs to increase back pressure and give more power. Having the valve constantly open would have the same effect as not having one at all. Though jamming it open certainly makes the bike FEEL faster, but thats only due to it going shit slow till you hit the power band Laughing
