What bike vs 85

hi, i bought a ttr125 thinking it would be as fast as a 85, well, it isnt, what four stroke bike competes with the 85? Is a 230 faster than an 85? What do u recommend for a next bike, I am 14 5.2 and 105 pounds. I have alot of experiance.

PROBLEMS WITH UR TTR NOT REVING UP

yo, u could have broken ur throttle cable if ur saying when u hit the throttle it wont rev, that might be it....

mayb when u go up the hill u

mayb when u go up the hill u shouldnt lean forward as much because when u do that you take all ur weight off the back wheel causing it to not get traction..... just kind of keep your body in the middle or you can lean back alot until you start up the hill then shift your weight forward. cya later

Boots are essential

Boots are essential riding equipment for this, and many other reasons. Imagine hitting a stump with your toe, crashing with your shin on a rock etc etc.

since your engine is buirning hot and theres no rev you know what you need is a new spark plug TRUST ME i had the same problem the motor was hot but you couldent get more then 1 sec of rev before it cuts out get a spark plug.

Get a power pipe for your TTR125s it makes 3hp more :)

If you buy a power pipe it wont only sound GOOD but you will feel your bike pull you alot faster i got a 2nd hand BBR power pipe for under $100 so you dont have to brake the bank go to moto wreckers and get one of them it worth the exstra CASH.

If your worried about how fast the bike will go with u on it send the flywheel to kawasaki yamaha or any other store that can do this and u can get about 20 oz taken off it for 40$ also if ur looking for a cheap solution for getting a pipe just get a thrust chamber for it thats like 35$ also getting a bore kit for it could help
and dont worrie about what ur size is theres like 40 year old guys ridin little 50's
