Thanks for this video I just turned 30 last December got my first bike 2022 TTR 125 a week ago been my my childhood dream since terminator 2 to get a dirt bike 😂 lol I’m looking to upgrade my bike real soon
My kit is different than yours. Not nearly as good. No instructions but I’m not complaining. The new piston has an arrow cast into its top. I think I recall the arrow points towards exhaust, is that correct? Also I pulled out my rocker shafts and arms to remove cam. You’re right. It’s difficult. Several things you mention but didn’t go into detail about (valve lash for example) can be found other places on the net I guess. A good video that was helpful. Thanks for posting.
My daughters 06 ttr125 seems to have very little compression. We can get it started by push starting it and electric start (intermittently) kicking it barely does anything. We are starting with the less expensive stuff (carb & valves) first but if it ends up needing a piston I think we will give it an upgrade!
Yeah when I priced out machine work for the head and new Picton s and gasket kit it was less than $100 more to just do this kit. I love it now too. It's got tons of pep
I had a ybr which uses the same engine and the values never moved a bit in 15k miles. The piston rings ended up.melting from too high revs for too long but thats a separate issue. If you don't constantly thrash the engine on this and change the oil regularly it will last forever.
Nice video, maybe someday i get enough courage to do the same on my Yamaha Factor! This little engine stock is a bit weak but looks like you can make it ai little bit funnier to ride
How much harder was your kick start over stock. Bought a non running ttr with this kit and the kick start seems like its almost binding but pulling the plug out it feels free. Timing issue maybe??
@decentgarage They are! I appreciate it though and love the vids man. Defeinitely helped me a bunch through my rebuild. Technically my first top to bottom rebuild.
My buddy and I just got it done rebuild and then only last thing is we cannot get it start at all. The only thing what we didn't change is the rocker arms due too wide to fits than the original manufacturer one. So we end up use the original arms while changed the cam shaft. So my friend believe it the timing issue to turn 180 degree around or need to upgrade carburetor jet? The spark plug definitely spark and tried roll start not hear a single pop. So any idea what am I missing?
If you are going to big bore your ttr125 don't spend 400 on the Amazon version eBay sells it for around 150 I'll post a video when my ebay one is delivered
@@decentgarage Nice, I’m lookin at the 150 kit right now and I’m running it by my dad (old bike mechanic) and we were both talkin about it needing a whole new carb or just jets… would you say I can keep the stock main jet but get a new pilot?
@@prettyflywhiteguy1005 check on BBR's website. They have a chart for jetting. You don't need a whole new carb. I was worried about that too but stock carb with proper jets runs great. It's also worth nothing that im at 4500 feet elevation

I know these dirt bike videos aren't as popular, but I sure love taking a dead bike and turning it into a fun ride!

Proud of you bro can’t wait for u to get on them 250r/F’s
Video quality and camera placement was awesome!!! Your channel just gets better & better. The bike looks like a fun lil ripper. 👍
Thanks man!
Thanks for your video. I have 2 ttr125s this give me confidence to get them up and running again for my boys . Great job
That is awesome to hear! I'm just learning as i go so you should be able to do it if i can 😅

The arrow points toward the exhaust. 👍
Whatd you set your valves at??

@@decentgaragedid you have to change the jets in the carb
@@hyperchase1236 yes, the kit has a jetting chart
@@decentgarage I don’t understand the chart
@@decentgarage I didn’t get it from bbr

It'll be the wife's bike so I'm hoping it lasts forever

Order it hopefully it works there little over 50 bucks not bad
it is recommended to upgrade to a vm26 carb with big bore an do exhaust
What carb did u use and what jets
Yee Haw!!!
Haha thanks man!
Good work man keep it up brotha!
Nice , I picked up a ttr125 , I did put a little video on RUclips.
I have subscribed.
Why does mine not have a battery, it’s a2000-2001. Thanks

Mine feels almost the same as stock
@@decentgarageI was afraid of that. I’m most definitely thinking the last people that did it on mine messed up timing or top end then.
Kit instructions say that a larger main jetbis included, my kit did not have it included. Did yours?
I had to order separate.
Also, good video man.
Mine did not come with the jets. If I would have read the instructions and noticed that I would have called them haha
I ordered a nibi carb, thoughts?
Any idea what the valve lash was on this build? Got the same kit and lost my instruction lol
Ooof I don't recall! But I think all the manuals from bbr are online

Did you have to get a 57.4 mm cylinder head or did u use the oem head
Can you please post a link for the big bore kit?
I added the link to the video description 👍
If you are going to big bore your ttr125 don't spend 400 on the Amazon version eBay sells it for around 150 I'll post a video when my ebay one is delivered
Did you rejet the carb? Don't want to run lean.....
Rejected per the big bore kit instructions 👍
Where do you order your plastics from
I got fenders from rocky mountain ATV. The tank shrouds are available on ebay but they are pricey
It’s been a year now wondering how it’s been and is it still runing nice
He spent 400$ on this kit so if it's not that sucks ebay sells em for 140-150 the exact same kit
How much for bbr 150 kit?
280. There is a link to it in the video description. I'm still really really happy with it. It's such a fun bike now
@@decentgarage thankss
did you have to go with bigger carb?
Stock carb with bigger jets. BBR had a chart on there websute that tells you how to jet it depending on the kit you use
@@decentgarage Did you have to buy all the jest or just the main?
@@prettyflywhiteguy1005 i bought a main and a pilot. I probably could have used the original pilot but at 3 bucks i just got a new one.

I got it in a group of five bikes that i bought but essentially i got it for 200 or so
