Thumbs up new member

I just started riding last year .I am 38 years old . My friend was selling a cr 125 last year so I bought it figuring to make some money .Well I took it camping here in San Diego to a place called Lark Canyon / McCains Valley .Now a year later I still own the cr 125,I bought my fiance a suzuki ltz 250 quad and last week I bought a 09 KLX 250S . 0 miles, beautiful machine.I love the similarity as far as weight and manuverability compared to my 125.I am not looking to race motorcross .But I do like to ride hard. I feel with a few minor upgrades. This is the perfect bike for me.I am only 5 foot 9 130.Its like a 15 year old riding this bike.I am very happy with my purchase.

Welcome to the forums man, and congrats on a great bike. It just takes a few mods to really wake up this beast in hiding. Simple and inexpensive are of course the sprocket changes from the stock to say a 13-45 setup. Then after you ride the bike like that for a while, and are wanting more, then its a jetting and exhaust upgrade and tweaking the air box in a variety of different ways to achieve that awesome power that we all crave. Good luck man, and post up a picture of your bike and the fiance's quad......preferably with her on it LOL. Again welcome man!
