After aload of problems with my little rs she was off the road for about two mouth I was wounded it was like a never ending task but I though at the weekends I would get my hands dirty and try to sort it Very Happy

By the time I started it ran out of an mot soo I had to risk it when checking the bike over Very Happy

I'm soo glad after all the work I've done on it it's working fine in the past week and a half I've done 600 miles and it's purring like it's just come out of the show room Very Happy

Just a little worried about the top end I'm only getting about 80 Im thinking it's running abit on rich side I've checked the oil pump and that is bang on like if I'm at lights and I go to set of it seems like it's going to blog and die like it's clogging up the plug soo I'm thinking about giving it more fuel but I don't know witch way to do the screw but once I get it past 8k revs it's perfect

Does your sig actually say that a 125 keeps up with 600s? Are you drunk!

It probably does if they are on the back of a truck.

I don't see it as that unreasonable to say it keeps up with bigger bikes, "keeps up" being the term used rather than beats, or is quicker than, or even as quick as.

It's hardly claiming it will beat a 600 in a race (though I'm willing to bet a full power RS could give an NTV600 a run for it's money from the lights), it's just saying the equivalent of "I can go on a ride with my friends on their 600's and not be a speck in the mirrors every time we go up a hill".

The important thing to note is to keep up with a 600 is he would be trying, a lot. Taking corners fast is the only way to keep up.
Once a 600 rider actually tried to go fast, even in the slightest, he would be smoked.
I had a crazy tuned GPR 50 (same as his first bike) and on rural roads provided I hooned around corners i could indeed keep up with any bike, but I was literally on the edge of my skill, constantly.

So you can do 70+ on that? If not, then no, you won't keep up with "any bike" Laughing

Flat on in sixth I had it geared for 82 using gearing commander, did 78 when I stuck a gps on there. Spent ohh I dunno...£1000 on parts to get it there? Waste of fucking money Laughing

Haha

Thanks alot for your replys Very Happy I'm going to have a fiddle about with it today and maybe do a plug chop the plug is getting clogged up With carbon I think ? And I think it's running lean witch is causing this

Seems like the little rs is a quick little bike I love it for what is it and on most days you can keep up with a group aslong as there not hammering it Very Happy

Really can't wait for the weather to book up I'm going to give it a old fashion frash like the two strokes should be !!

Thanks alot people Very Happy
