- This Rm125 is what started my channel and has been a staple of my riding career since the beginning! I am way too excited to start riding this thing more and once again bring some amazing TWO STROKE CONTENT to RUclips. I hope this video makes a lot of my long time subscribers happy!!
I hope you all enjoyed the video and are excited for what is in store for this bike!!! #jway

Please don’t leave the kickstart down after the engine has already started. It will damage the starting mechanism and stress the engine very badly.
Interesting I didn’t even know that haha
@@TwoStrokeJ Hey no problem, you learn something everyday. There are small gears inside the starting mechanism and if you leave the starter down while the engine is on, it shaves the teeth of the gears overtime.
@@Ta1was it’s common sense it makes a ticking noise when you put the kicker down while the engine is running
@@TwoStrokeJ Bruh, you’re fine. You had it down for like 2 secs lol…
Do all bikes have that?
Im about to buy a 125 mainly because of you. Keep it up brother!
Let’s go man! I will keep it up just for you bro!
Me too
Do it! i just got a 02 yz125. lil rough around the edges but a little attention and these bikes will give you smiles per gallon like no other!
Feels good to see that bike again bro
Same man loving being able to ride it again
The bike that started everything ❤️🤙
For real man 🥲
i have a RM 250 from 1997 and i take her to the track allmost every week 🙂 she´s a beast!!!
A good rider on an old bike will trash an average rider on a new bike every time!
Oh those sounds bring me back to when I didn't have my license 2 years ago. Couldn't think of anything other than bikes back then.
The splooge is definitely because you are not exact when measuring oil. Between 1:30 and 1:40 is a really healthy ratio that I used to aim for. Problems with running rich I've found often have to do with float level because it's really easy to ignore if the bike starts easily, but you already know how to work a carburetor. Running rich increases oil running through the engine and can also create more splooge.
I know measuring the oil ratio can be really annoying but you can't have goop on your brakes man. So good to see the rm back again! 🔥💨
Yea man! I always run 3 ounces of oil per gallon. I think it ends up being slightly more lean than 1:40 and I don’t want to risk running the fuel ratio any lower than that. I’m sure I’ll figure it out some day
125’s/ two strokes are meant to be ridden wide open, screaming, that’s why there’s spooge, and also needs the right jetting.
Great to see that Rm coming back the plastics still looking good keep it up brother
Yes sir!!! They are still holding up well I appreciate you bro!
Fucking love seeing the rm back bro🙌🙌 You been inspriing me to continue making wheelie videos on my CRF250L Supermoto💪 Keep up the good work bro #jway
Yes!!! I appreciate the love and support bro. Good luck!
Yessssss and again I just get happy
Me too bro! Me too…
@@TwoStrokeJ u good
😍
Awesome vidjayo. That's the content that got me hooked. Love it. Making me want to go to the gearage and start my 93 kx250. Thank you for that.
No problem man! I’m glad I was able to get back to my roots and bring this bike out again!
Use high temp silicone where the silencer slides into the header. Helps significantly with oil on the Swingarm
Love your mopeds video I've watch every video about moped 2 3 times please film more about puch shoutout from Croatia big support
Got a lot more moped content coming! Stay tuned man!
@@TwoStrokeJ can't wait I am thinking of buying tomos automatic I found one for 200$ but have to speak with my dad to see if he will let me
Lots of power with no brakes gang
Watched your video when you first started out in the lot crazy progress
I got an 04 I’m building right now, gonna get some parts that are no longer made/works parts for it, full motor rebuild, kashima coat, etc. I will never sell it especially because of how rare they are getting.
Bro some day I’d like to build mine like that but for now I plan on keeping it pretty stock and just ripping it haha
@@TwoStrokeJ yeah I don’t know if I’m gonna get myself to ride it, gonna be sad when it gets dirty and scratched
bringing back the 2 stroke been doing a full rebuild on my rmx250 2 stroke. Bringing them back to like is the best will have vids on my channel when im down with it too lol 2 stroke gang!!!!
Exactly man! They have always been super fun to work on. Good luck with yours!
Hell yea thanks man good luck with your rm can't wait to see the work you put into it
Just got a yz125 this year man hell yeah I remember this bike from forever ago! Mine has a rich pilot jet in there so she doesn't like to idle either, but since it is chilly out they'll idle better.
Yea that’s probably why mine was acting a bit better since it’s getting colder out. That’s dope tho man!
@@TwoStrokeJ yeah with the fmf pipe they call for a #50 pilot in our carbs (TMX36 and TMX38) excited for some woods videos of this thing man!
Lets goo, more RM videos! 😍
I got you bro!
The man himself is back!🔥
We HERE
Dang 35k followers now, proud of you man
I appreciate that man! Been a long time in the making!! The support means everything
defo need a build series on this bad boy
Stay tuned man! Gunna freshen it up for sure
@@TwoStrokeJ ill be waiting brother
I cannot tell
You how great those bikes are. I had a 03’ and wish I never sold.
for sure man, I love mine
🐐🐐🐐🐐
Ok ok we see you!
Missed this Bike
Same man, so glad it’s back
RM gangggggg!
Yeaaaa boiiiii
MaketheRMgreatagain😍
MTRMGA!!!!
Adjust your air idle screw on the carburetor, pipe needs to be repacked 👍 glad to see the 2 stroke back
Yea I'm sure the air idle screw could help a bit. I have changed the packing many times but i'm sure its time to do it again
I have an 06 250 and just bought 05 125 I'll be holding on to them for a while
I have a 1998 ‘em 250 and I’ve had so many people want to buy it from me but I know the true value of the brand of bikes and I will never sale it
Please do a full build on it 😭 Updated plastics kit, graphics, new top end, clutch and brakes! The missing shroud bothers me lmao good vid
Yea I want to! The shroud is super annoying but every time I put it on it falls off because the threads in the tank fell out. Definitely want to bring the thing back to life though!
To stop the leaking on the rear break/swing arm you gotta repack the silencer
already done that multiple times, it may help for a couple days but it always gets too wet again and drips. I gotta figure out why there is so much leaking in the first place
I'd probably replace the pads and rotors but also the piston seals in the brake calipers and change the brake lines to steel braided ones and ofc change the fluid (I prefer dot 5.1) That should make your brakes feel better than new :) Great to see you back on this thing btw, I forgot I was even subbed lol
You forgot one thing they also have history from the 70s to 90s the bikes were ahead of it’s time
yea that is very true, they were top of their class for a long time
W video W dirtbike W JWAY
W’s ALL AROUND!!! I Appreciate you bro!
Bro 🎉we ive been waiting so long fir this yes sir
Hahaha glad you stuck it out and are still around!
Bro like i told you before i fuck with your channel tough bro you is one off my favorite youtubers you the reason i got into riding and buying my first rm125 still got here too lol but keep posting weve missed you lol no homo!!!!
finally miss your content
Yea I know man! Glad you are still here watching! Feels good to get back to my roots a little bit
I started watching your vids w that bike and learned to wheelie on my crf 125 I always got love for the 125’s ❤
Same man 125’s will forever be my favorite bike
Best smelling 2 stroke oil. I run the same stuff in my 03 kx125
Oh yea I’ve always ran klotz it has never let me down
My 93 rm125 has always dropped oil out of the exhaust as well, same with my buddy’s 04 rm125
Let’s go baby
Good to be back
epic intro dawg
Thank you my g
Get some restyle plastics and Ask boldzdesignz to sponsor you with some decals, would be sick🙌🏼
that would be sick you can make these bikes look insane
bout fucking time bro "Make the rm great again"🔥🔥🔥
Yes man! Wayyy overdue haha
I’m hyped brooo.
Today was the day wheelies clicked for me got 1 wheelie to balance point and held it back there with throttle and brake
With a 125 2stroke btw
Let’s go man! That’s always such an amazing feeling when you are learning
2 stroke takeover‼️
Bought damn time!
I’m 5 years late… but I found you 🤟🏼
hell yeahh 💨
Lessss gooooi
bro i just love the vibez
im inspired af
Hell yea man! Love it thanks for the support
Bro I had a '03 RM 125 and that thing ripped! It was set up for the track and I'll tell you what I would run with any 250 up until 4th gear and them their top ends will start to pull on me.. but that thing would dig out the hole shot with the best of em.. I miss that bike
For real man, they are super fun bikes I love mine
@@TwoStrokeJ yea me too.. I remember being 16 and sending that thing over a 100 plus. There was this outdoor track that had 90 ft Step Up.. almost 110 all the water to back side.. had to charge the he'll outta of it.. almost 6th gear clapped lol but yeah bro black n yellow!! 🤙
Please come back with the RM go all out
Imma be fixing it up for sure man!
Great edits
I appreciate that man! Thanks for the support
Bro you need to open up that fmf silencer and get new packing in there that will help with the oil leaking and noise. And ofcourse tune the carb might help
Yea, I’ve changed the packing like 3 times, it’s gotta be something to do with the jetting or engine
checked the compression on my cr125 yesterday. it was at 80 psi, about half of what it should be haha. top end rebuild coming soon.
you my the best 2 stroke rider🔥💪
Damn man thanks a lot!!
and my rm125 had the power valve hit the piston too!
Bro it was awful! I had just rebuilt it with all new part and started it and it turned out one of the power valves broke in the process and was slightly in the cylinder. So when it started it it was making tons of tingy noises and I had to take it all apart again haha
@@TwoStrokeJ hhaah je it didint happen to me it happen to my fredn previuse owner
Could try clutch side crank seal could make it run rich
yooo j i only have one question what in the world you had on that rag cleaning the plastics? that stuff did magic😆
Lmaoooo just sprayed the rag with some simple green. It’s a degreaser I think
I also rewound that segment. Needed to know what was on there.
While you’re in there doing the brakes might wanna change wheel bearings especially from all the weight from wheelies
Been waiting for this 👍
Long overdue for sure
Kickstand 👀
TWO STROKE J Change your muffler packing and it will stop the spooge👍
Changed it like 3 times. It has something to do with the jetting I think
@@TwoStrokeJ put exactly 3 oz to each gallon instead of 3.2 per gal. And if all else fails it guaranteed won't make spooge using 40:1 trufuel from autozone its the green can. and great video bro i loved it the way you edited and produced it hy!👍 btw i got one one the most cleanest rm250's outthere check it out on my channel shortz bro
Dayum that rm is clapped but it has great potenial! :)
Exactly!!! Been clapped since the beginning haha
The bike would look good with a restyle kit
Yea everyone puts restyle kits on them and they do look awesome! Something about the original look though I really like, and it almost makes it feel more nostalgic.
You need to get a JD jetting jet block gasket kit for the carb,then it will probably start running as it should and not to ritch
I’ll look into that bro!
@@TwoStrokeJ yes that is the problem on alomst every mikuni carb even when they are brand new😅 hadd to change that even on my 2020 husky
less go
That’s what I’m saying bro!
holy the rm is actually such a good looking bike
I totally agree! For the time I think it was probably the best looking 125. It doesn’t even look very outdated
Yessirrrr
So hype
i wish you still had the dt 50 i love the dt so much
Bro so do I, ever since I sold it I’ve never seen another for sale
@@TwoStrokeJ in sweden you can find them for 600 to 2500 dollar love it
🗣Dirtbike content is back💪🏿💪🏿
Been way too long lmao
That pipe tho 💀
❤
❤️❤️❤️
i just bought a rm125 01!! and it was siting broken at somonese place so i bought it😄
That’s awesome man! I love mine personally, sometimes they just take a bit of work to get up and running
@@TwoStrokeJ i dont even mind the work as longas i can enjoy it
Hey j, thanks for the new vid, made my day. I have an little question tho. What do you think about an aprillia rs50/ cpi sm50( that's my budget, I know I'm poor as fuuuuu) so yeah. Keep up the good content bro. Much love from Europe
No problem man, thanks for the support! I don't know much about those specific bikes but my first bike was a yamaha Dt50 and I loved that thing so i'm sure a more modern 50cc bike would be just as fun if not more!
@@TwoStrokeJ Yo J, found something on a site for second hand stuff. It's a mtx50 from the late 80s. What do you think about it, it's selling for 350 euro, it kinda beaten up, but nothin unusual. Sorry for bothering, have a great day/night
@@TwoStrokeJ correction it's from 94
my cr85 leaks from the exhaust to idk how to fix it oil all over my swing arm
Yea it could be a lot of issues just like mine haha. I’ll probably make a video when I’m able to fix it talking about what I did
Were are the gloves from?
@highsidelife on Instagram
no offroad build?
Stay tuned bro 😎
i have a 98 rm 125
That’s awesome man
I'm dead sure rm and kx 125s are the slowest of the lot absolutely gutless
when you compare them to newer yz's and stuff they definitely are
what did you use to clean those plastics?
Just some simple green and a micro fiber cloth
@@TwoStrokeJ ty for still replying and I have white plastics on my ride and they tend to get really dirty
Dude start uploading more often
Yes bro I really need to!!
😂👍🏾
yessir
What tires are you running on it ?
Shinko 705 in the rear and Avon distanzia in the front I think
@@TwoStrokeJ awesome thank you
i need help!
Fix the expansion chamber. Your loosing power there
yea for sure man, think I will probably replace the exhaust soon
@@TwoStrokeJ fix it please its better content haha
That’s junk
Just a heads up: my 300exc 2 stroke (carb swapped from a mikuni to a keihin) didn't like to idle at all, and all it took to fix it was to adjust the carb float a little. The float originally let too much fuel in when idle which in return caused the bike to die after 10-20 seconds of idling. Don't know if you've already tried this, but if not, it could be worth a shot.
The RM125 has been great. Mine is bored over 1.50mm making it an RM132.
Check out “Adventure Mx” to see bike
Just need a rubber seal over the exhaust
Yea I’ve been trying to find a solution that works but then it will probably all just drop out of the end of the tail pipe and still end up on the brakes haha
Go down one size on the main jet
Should stop the Ozzze it the tail pipe. Not completely but you’ll notice that’s way rich frfr
And I bet you will notice the power increase good bit just by the jet especially if your able to go 2 sizes down. But one jet size down should be great
What are you running for your oil mix? My Yz125 had that issue with oil on the swing arm running 32:1 I started mixing it around 38:1 and it stopped. Bike runs exactly the same no issues
Yea I run around 40:1 which is pretty lean mix and it still does it. I don’t want to go any leaner and accidentally blow it up haha
Keep doing the dirt bike thing with that charisma!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯
Thanks man I will!
What Brand are your street wheels on the 125
I still have my 98 runs good and power still there
Yes sir they last forever
My g .. been a while imma hyu soon
Thank you thank you thank you
Hahaha no problem man!!!
If it woudn't idle you need to tune the air screw i always screw it in and screw it out 2 and a half times and than tune it a little more if it is too much or too little
If it leaks oil its problaly the piston or the valves
yea there is an air leak in the crank seals I think, I can adjust the idle but it always fluctuates from high to low rpms
@@TwoStrokeJ Okay, You can better fix it yourself because if a garage fixes it it will cost more
