125s are THEE 2 stroke sound everyone loves. When I was young my absolute favorite part of a motocross was the 125 start. A swarm of 125s going for the holeshot sounds like a pissed off yellowjacket nest.
Honestly the most fun cc to ride and have fun with. Im a local pro rider, 6'2" 195lbs and enjoy my 450s but I rebuilt a 2007 rm125 from the ground up. I end up spending more time riding it just cause its an absolute blast.
So for a guy like me, closer to 50 than 40, track rider for fun and general conditioning, the YZ 125 is still the best. Kind of like the YZ 250. The blue 2 strokes are still the bike that is truly best for MOST riders. They lose out on the really pointy end of the scale, but if people are really honest about how they ride most of the time, the Yamaha's are likely the best choice. It takes a bit of humility to acknowledge that for most guys lol.
Great point. I'm 55 and have largely switched to hill climbs but still practice mx. I have a YZ125 and it's so much fun to ride. I'm at 225lbs so I had it bored to 144cc with an Athena. I'm a classic B rider and this bike is so much fun!

Small bore fun! Friend bought a new '23 Husky TC125 last week and there was an updated map installed by the dealer and his bike ran fine in both white and green maps (no issues). Please keep us updated on the latest maps (including map numbers) you are running in the KTM/Husky 125 TBI bikes.
I have a 2023 KTM 125sx that I am doing a video series on my channel and discussing the TBI, ECU, mods, etc. Please follow me, I follow you and love your real world tests. J
@@yamahakid450f Correct the XCW/TE models run Transfer Port fuel Injection (TPI) with an oil injection pump too while the '23 SX/XC 2-strokes are using Throttle Body fuel Injection (TBI) and premix fuel (no oil pump).
Its awesome KTM is pushing 2 stroke tech forward and their new bikes are way more user friendly for the everyday rider who wants to ride 2 strokes. I love my '23 TC125!
I assumed correct the late arrival of the KTM at the dealerships in the UK only 4 weeks ago was do to mapping issues. Apparently they aren’t flying out the sales floor either. At the last minute we decided to hang on till for a 2024 hopefully they will have them sorted by then. I don’t think we will have the detonation problems as we have 99 octane super unleaded over here
I wish they would do a professional 125-250 two stroke indoor series and for the price of a YZ you still have money and can make the bike just as fast as the others for about the same price. YZ is the way to go to me.

Yes thats a good point. The 2023 KTM 125 SX manual states" Super unleaded (ROZ 98 / RON 98 / PON 94) ( p. 139)" which is equvalent to ~93 US gas (R+M/2) if not even a tat higher. MXA states 2:28 they use 91 octane gas, therefore they run out of spec fuel. To conclude the KTM has detonation issues due to mapping should be revised imo @motocrossaction
@@abracing199 U.S. 93 is equivalent to European (Ron) 98. The tbi system is not that intelligent, it doesn’t have O2 sensors and can’t make adjustments for an octane or oxygenated percentage change. It just mixes fuel and air. And then they add leaded fuel to bump the octane 🤦♂️ it’s just silly for them to go threw all this effort without using the proper fuel in these bikes. It’s comparable to doing a shootout without checking tire psi! It’s just silly.
I'm having the exact same issues with my tc125 that they go into detail about at the 16:40 mark of the video. My boy came back to the pits mentioning of backfiring and slight hesitation up top. We then tried the green map and it cut out even worse and he was in a whoop section and almost ate it when it cut bad in the higher rpm. I'm glad a large platform such as this is bringing it to light and hopefully KTM can find a fix.

The ktm/husqy manual clearly says to use 98 octane fuel, so it should be minimum 93 octane for the us. It seems pretty clear why the ktm was detonating
They were provided the numbers, I’d bet a lot on that. Putting 91 in the tbi bikes and then saying they are not running properly makes me question a lot. And then they add leaded 108?? Was sag set? Did they check fork psi? Tire psi? Who knows 🤷♂️

Why don't KTM/Husky/GG Make a power tuner tool/app for their bikes like the Yamaha 4 strokes have standard? It doesn't make any sense to have to buy a completely different aftermarket ECU just to be able to get your bike top run properly on what fuel you have available locally, let alone tune it to suit your own preference/riding.

With the added weight of 204.5 lb's, does that effect the power to weight advantage on the new platform KTM/HUSKY? and does it effect them in turns and handling over jumps?

Can’t do wrong with 32:1 but I believe ktm states 40:1. Depends on the actual brand of premix, the manual will give a specific ratio for their premix brand. YZ recommends their yamalube, KTM is Motul brand oils

I was a yamaha nut rider from 06-17 and only rode yz's but got sick of paying modern pricing for a bike from 2006. Once you throw a leg over an orange one it's instantly apparent which I'd the more advanced and superior machine out of the box.
3 different coloured KTM´s vs 2006 Yamaha with a 2022 motor 😅 Sad that this is the state of 2 strokes today. Still I would ride any of those with pleasure.
You guys should include the 4 stroke 125s from the brands that don’t have 2 stroke 125s that way they get embarrassed n make 2strokes again
finally been waiting weeks for this video
yamaha all day no questions
YZ ON TOP
This guys a joke cause he rides KTM.. I’ve rode the yz and some friends that have KTMs actually said the yz is better than their bikes. Even said the power was stronger throughout. Funny this moron said the yz stays on longer and gives you more on top then turns around and say the ktm might cut out but has more power? Wait what?😂
YZ will outlast all the rest especially in reliability.
@@herbcanter2114 oh absolutely true.. there is no question about that!
Love all the gas gas twostrokes
Is Husqvarna 125 good for 5-11' 165lbs rider?
Yes.
I,m from the Netherlands, doesn’t sound good for the husky and the ktm to run lean here in the deep sand ….. in my opinion the yz is the best bike
My favorite thing about them is the pops. Take care of the map but leave the pop. This test was great.
Pop is not good. Never has been.
yz125🤩😍🥰
no TM?
Mapping issues on stock ecu but ktm and husky finishes ahead of the new yz. What a wash
Gasgas is the best value for money
