XR-125cc Mini Endurance Bike Project
Ok ok ok, Honda didn’t make a 125cc XR
![]() Huge shout out to Gabriel and Everett Fox for their generous donation! My 16yo nephew will be very happy moving on from the little 70’s. My smaller kids are a bit dissapinted they can’t race it in TMGP but at least they can start learning a clutch. ![]() What we have here was a unfinished project that had been shelved for a couple years. After a brief inspection, it appears the forks and swing arms will bolt onto our XR-70 carcass frame. If this works it will be a huge win simply because we have almost everything to make a complete bike. ![]() Items in need: 1. Hydraulic perch and brake lever for front disk brake. 2. Complete clutch perch/lever/cable and assembly for case connection. 3. 100/90-12 Dunlop tire (used ok for the moment) |

My nephew made some great progress today.
The swing arm and forks were a direct swap to the XR-70 frame. ![]() The engine was also a direct bolt on to the XR-70 frame. The upgraded 12” (from 10”) rear wheel with drum brake slid in with some spacer modification. Everyone has a job! ![]() Progress! ![]() |

Those kids are learning so many valuable skills through this process, I'd have to imagine those skills will serve them for the rest of their lives. Basic mechanics, trial and error, patience, the value of hard work and the reward that comes with it...good job man, good job.

Yes, all the poles were wrapped. So on to another pressing issue. Nephew is having a tough time fitting the chain. The tire is tall and is hitting the front side of the swing arm. When he adjusts the tire back it runs out of adjustment. So he is inbetween chain links for proper adjustments. Haven’t exactly seen his issue yet other than photo’s he is sending. His idea is to increase the size of the sprocket. Anyone have a 15 tooth of this type? The spare XR-70 front sprockets have differnt spline pattern. ![]() Or/And a 37 tooth XR-70 rear sprocket? The 37 tooth on the original 10” wheel won’t bolt up to the 12” wheel. ![]() |

Well, not exactly how the kids wanted to spend spring break, but they have definitely made the best of things.
Everyone was piled in the driveway waiting for me to get home. After multiple messages throughout the day, everyone was certain the bike was going to roll under it’s own power. Making me proud! Great way to come home! |

MX6er,
Any ideas why this bike will only start in Neutral? I’m use to pulling in clutch and going while still in gear. Or thisvis just the way these engines are? |

Shake down test yesterday.
Still have some work to do. First issue was on throttle response with a huge delay. Garret moved the carb needle up one position which solved apex exit response. 2nd issue is the front tire out of true. The bouncing basketball effect inspired zero confidence in pushing ANY types of limits. 3rd issue, this bike back fires like a after off throttle from high speeds. Anyone have suggestions? |
