 |
|
Hello,
I recently bought HONDA XR 125L (2005) and this bike needs new carburettor. I'm brand new to bikes and don't know what would be best for my model. Want something powerful and high quality also adjustable.
Don't know if I should get the carb with air filter or filter separately.
I'm willing to spend money on it so the brice doesn't matter.
Please help me with choosing the right one by giving me links or models of the carbs.
Thanks 
Also my friend got a 180cc cylinder. Will it fit my bikes engine? |

New to bikes, I can see that, the young man's naive enthusiasm about tuning his first motorcycle. Go for the OEM stuff, to get it running. Mr. Honda spent billions of pounds in effort to fabricate your motorcycle (it couldn't be done any better) at the price it's being sold for.
Willing to waste money, well, this will shatter your dreams a bit, but even after you waste thousands of pounds there, it is still going to be a cheap single cylinder four stroke making barely 60mph. Well after all the effort and money it could gain upto 20% of power, but I'm being rather optimistic here. The side product of these efforts will be terrible MPG and very short service intervals to keep the good times roll. There is a reason why the manufacturers don't just sell highly tuned motorcycles, people wouldn't be willing to pay a fortune to keep them alive.
How old are you? If you're close to A2 licence age, wait for your birthday, do the A2 licence, buy bigger bike, make jokes about your mate's 180cc kit. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to help.

There is nothing wrong with your carburettor, you don't need a new one, and wouldn't do what you say you want it to anyway.
A different carburettor will not help you get any more power out of your engine.. what limits its power is that it NOT a powerful engine!
And it s NOT an engine that has huge scope for being made any more powerful with 180 cylinders or anything else!
YES, you can 'tune' them... you could fit a bigger piston and cylinder; you could mess with the ignition and the carburettor and the exhaust... and you could spend an AWFUL lot of money to achieve bugger all.
BECAUSE ITS NOT A HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE!
Back to first post you made; change the engine... could be done, but easer and cheaper to just BUY a higher-performance BIKE!
It is not a difficult concept; what you have is a great, low cost, low maintenance but low performance motorcycle.
If you don't appreciate those qualities, then you have bought the WRONG motorcycle...
Sell it and buy a Yamaha DT125 or similar, that can have more than twice the power your XR125 ever could, without lifting a single spanner or changing a single component from what they fitted in the factory!
It would be easier, and cheaper and deliver FAR more than you could ever achieve messing with what you got.
