I am really new to ATVs still.
We have had ours for exactly 1 year now. My kids have the 2007 TRX90EXs and my wife and I got the TRX250EXs.
Can you tell me what exactly is a 125 build?
My son is clammoring for more giddyup. My daughter is still good with the bike as is.
What all is involved? Does it cost more than the bike did?

Posted by: COLTBNME

If you like you can see pictures of my TRX125 built in Feb 2007
by going to www.hetrickracing.com and looking under builds for 2007. It is an awesome race bike. We race motocross with it and it all depends on how much power you are looking for as well as what kind of suspension work you have done as to how much it costs to build a TRX90.

We’re going to max the cc’s out to a 125cc witch is the limit for his class for racing. It will cost anywhere between 3g’s to 4.5g’s to do and you can’t to it yourself or at least I can’t. If you’re racing or not for more performance you need to call

Charlie McVay (McVay racing)
Robb Leonard (Robbs racing engines)
Scott Cain (SCR)
Rich Hetrick (Hetrick Racing)

And see what they can do for yea I’m sure you can get some performance for a lot less.

I’m new to this Honda stuff sorry if I forgot any Honda builders.

Just a ? I'm planning on getting my kid a new bike what made you choose the TRX over the Cobra???

Posted by: COLTBNME

Nothing against the Cobra, it it fast, just not reliable. Granted the are less expensive then strokin out a TRX90 to a 125, but the Honda is going to finish more races. Bottom line is thats what counts. I would not trade my Honda or engine builder (Hetrick Racing) for 2 Cobras.

I want him to run a 4 stroke for a couple of years before he goes to the 300ex class. And Jeff Cernic wanted to sponsor him and he's a Honda dealer. Done deal

AzExtreme, no need for video it would be horrible, Cobra would smoke it bad with good riders on both, I would bet The Cobra 50 would run with it. I have a trx90 built 125 not a Cobra so that tells you I'm not biased.

Who did your 125??? any dyno #'s

Think you can post some pics of that trx 90 you have w/a 125 built motor ?

Posted by: RAWDAWG635

Yea, let me clean it up and i'll try to get some clear pics. I built the motor it has ran up front against Hetrick, and Robb's racing built motors. Never got it dyno'd so I dont know for sure about the Hp.

Posted by: azextreme

and this 125 would not keep up with the cobra70/90??

Posted by: FASTDAD-77

Rawdawg, if your TRX90 won't beat a Cobra, I'll sell ya one that will.

Posted by: XXX -rider

FASTDAD-77..lets see yours as well !

Posted by: FASTDAD-77

Hey Rawdawg, If this is the Drew and Wiley I know, Your not gonna build a TRX90 with enough power to satisfy Drew's need for speed. I hate to see a kids age hold him up from racing the kids he needs to; to challege him.

Posted by: RAWDAWG635

FASTDAD-77, WHO are you, yea I'm Drew and Wiley's Dad. Drew will be racing a trx90 and that 90mod he rode last season. I know the trx is kinda going backward from what he is racing now but he needs somebody to race against, nobody is ever hardly in the 90 mod. class. 1 more year and I can put him in the youth mod. or the 0-200 2-stroke/ 300 4-stroke class. By then I hope the 250f engine quads are out. I think the suzuki wil be out this year, but I'm not a big zuki fan, hope to get a Honda if they get it out on time if not I guess it will be the zuki. Randall

Posted by: FASTDAD-77

I'm the other Drew's dad, R.D. Hope I didn't tick you off too bad but its the only way I could tell who it was. Sorry about that. I'm glad to hear Drew will be be racing in the 90's this year. My boy will be glad to hear that, but I still think you should look into a different birth certificate and a hot running 300EX for Drew because I still don't think anybody is gonna build a 90 to keep him happy.

Posted by: RAWDAWG635

Hey man, Where ya'll been, didn't see you but twice this year. I thought about that birth cert. thing but I couldn't get away with it a Ger, Brian knows how old he is. It would work at Pyramid though. That new track they built in Crosslanes is cool, is kinda small but nice. Randall

Posted by: FASTDAD-77

Rawdawg Check your messages Dude, and let me know about that track. I didn't know about that track.

RAWDAWG635 not sure where you race but I can tell you first hand that every weekend at the nationals and the wpsa events last season REAL trx 125's and cobras has some of the closest races with both winning their share and finishing very close to each other. So I'm not sure what your statement is based on because I would be refering to the best built bikes and some of the most talented riders in the country!!!!!! If you want a 125 that will compete with a cobra with equal riders this one is available for $7000.00

Posted by: etondaddy

Can you post a close up pic of the rear brake set up or e-mail me at mikekozura@yahoo.com. It looks like you used the stock petal.

Mike Kozura

Posted by: burkebrothers

we used a 06 petal because it doesn't go under the peg like 03-05 so it should be a good example for you to follow here a couple of pics

Thanks..... this Honda thing's all new to me that takes one thing of my mind I just can't wait to get the dam frame back and get started.

Thanks again
Mike Kozura

Posted by: burkebrothers

If you need any more help let me know we have been racing the honda's for many years and have spent a lot of money on stuff that doesn't work and tons of time trying to get everything to work my youngest will be on a 300 next year so this is the end of our honda 90 era

Posted by: etondaddy

The end of one era and the beginning of another………. We’ve raced CVT’s for five years and decided to go with the trx125 for the last two years of mini racing to get him ready for the 300. I’ll let you know once I get started here if I need some more advice thanks a lot.

Mike Kozura

Posted by: burkebrothers

2 years is when Zak will be coming off the 300 so when the time comes I know where you can get a national caliber machine

What machine are those nerfs made for and did you have to modify them any to get them to fit?

Posted by: burkebrothers

call Michelle @ hetricks ask her for the ones that are on Zak Burke's quad she will get you hooked up thats where I got them

Posted by: COLTBNME

Good advice, call Michele or Robin at Hetrick Racing to get the hook up on anything needed to build a National Level TRX125.

Sorry it took so long ............ I forgot about you. lol

I got the mini 29" bars with a 12 degree rake. My steering stem is being built by Dave Carter and I just told him what bars I was using. Give him a call he can make you a clamp for any stem or bars.

Well................. the problem is my frames still at Dave Carters and my engines still at Charlie McVays. All I have is the hood, bars, nerfs, shocks, and some misc little stuff. The wait will be well worth it I believe I have two of the best working on our stuff. Pm me your number and I'll give you a call one day and we can talk. I have Vonage it doesn’t cost me anything.

Mike Kozura

Posted by: tireman43

So whats going on Mike? How is the build going? I saw the sneak peak pic. Did you get everything back yet so you can give us some fun stuff to look at?

Kevin

Posted by: etondaddy

NO............... Dave e-mailed the pic as a tease...lol Kevin talked to him last night and he was going to try to ship my stuff today.

I'm working on some pics

Mike Kozura

Posted by: etondaddy

Ok we got the frame and suspension parts from DC. And started the mock up............. me and Kyle only fought one good time one little time and a few spirited talks................ Oooooooo yes the beauty of bounding with ones son. The handle bars fell and pinched his hand….. That was fun.

The frame's going to be super mirror white with silver sparkles in a clear top coat. The swing arm and lower a-arms are flat black just like the Rath nurfs and front bumper. And I'm going to get the upper a-arms chromed. We’ve had red and yellow frames before Kyle’s what’s to tone it down a bit this year …….. He’s looking for the clean smooth look …lol I have some more pics to post soon.

Mike Kozura

Posted by: dcarter

hey mike, i am going to send you some orange county chopper stickers for the bike since kyle can't see over the handle bars. maybe we can enter it in a biker build off. Just kidding as soon as i get it back i will knock it out that day. isn't it fun building something new. this is what is great about mini's there is always something new to do. let me know about the rear brake brackett if we need to we can move the break brackett father back. looks great dave.
p.s. your mock up table looks like mine i bet it is just the right height to!!!!!

Posted by: etondaddy

Yeah…….. How about those ape hangers !!!! This Honda’s a whole new deal for all of as but with the knowledge of the likes of Dave Carter (super Dave) and Brad Loomis wow the possibilities are endless !!!! The spring for the rear shock came in Friday he can set on it with out it going down… and we’ll double check the height of the stem and get it sent out today and as soon as the brakes come in we'll see about the rear caliper/silencer clearance. The Orange County Choppers crew is supposed to be here today to start filming the DC bike show. It should be right up there with the NY police bike and the fire bike’s http://www.orangecountychoppers.com/occ/onairtheme.html ….. Lol. Here are some more mock up pics. If you see anything you like give Kevin Smitley a call he has a direct line to DC and he can get you hocked up no matter the brand of machine your trying to build.

. Looks like when you get the bar thing taken care of you will be ready to start coating....OH YEA youll be ready for Bowling Green

Kevin Smitley

Posted by: mxdad423

Hey Mike, Nerf's look good, I see you got the spring on the rear shock OK. Just keep pluggin away, you will be ready for Bowling Green, I know it....LOL....I got your new brakes coming, they will be shipping Monday, so I should have them here by Thursday and I will drop them off to you at work. BOWLING GREEN HERE YOU COME.......YOU KNOW YOUR GOING TO GO.....

Kevin Smitley

Posted by: dcarter

hey mike ,
man that honda is looking good! how do you like the axle set up? I think this set up should really help the little honda's, it's lighter than the other stuff out there. you are doing a great job mocking it up before painting. yea the steem is just a little high!!!i will get it fixed as soon as it gets here. thanks for the pics. dave

Posted by: etondaddy

Thanks Dave…… you know it’s just like good spaghetti sauce you have to start with the best ingredients……… this bike can’t help but look good so far it’s got the best… DC, Rath, and Fox. Yeah I’m curious to weigh it and see how much we’ve lightened it. Those Rath nurfs and bumper definitely complement your stuff Dave there a lot more money but they are very well build. It won’t be long now we’ll be getting things powdercoated and I can’t wait to get the upper a-arms chromed….. ask Kyle what his favorite color is … and he’ll say chrome…lol. And he’s blood type’s 10w30……. He watches way to much Speed Channel. He’s a cool little gear head….I’d want it no other way.

Mike,

Glad to see you are finally working on that beast. Just kidding.
It's looking great, can't wait to see it finished.

Posted by: tireman43

Hey Mike it's good to see the quad is coming together...finally

It looks like Kyle is doing most of it though. It's good to see the kids get their hands dirty. I think they have a little more respect for the machine plus they gain knowledge too. It's looking good so far. How is the motor coming along?

Kevin

Posted by: dcarter

hey mike, i like your choice for the rath nerfs they look way cool! i know i am old school! do you know what the weight of the stock bike was i would like to know how much we saved with the new axle set up. keep cracking that whip and don't give him a break so you can be a bowling green!!! dave

Posted by: etondaddy

Thanks.......... that's my little gear head!! On the E-Ton every Saturday I'd do the carburetor and he'd do the clutches. I'll never forget the first time he did the clutches him self I was passed out on the couch.... it was a great Saturday afternoon for a nappy.... lol and he went a head and did them.......... that Sunday he went out and smoked them ....... that had to be the greatest feeling in world for him.

Posted by: etondaddy

Thanks Dave.......we need to back to the Honda... brakes came today.. I got some powdercoating to do for Kevin tomorrow and hope to work on the Honda a little.

Well today Kyle was off school me and Missy had a half day and with the 40+ degree temps and before the snow tonight Kyle took the opportunity to ride the 80.…. he loves that little tank. All it has is a pipe and some Jack Moore clutch mods. I would love to send the whole motor to Jack and let him do his thing....... maybe one day. And he finely got the hang of riding a wheelie and wanted me to take some pictures …. I wish I had a good camera.

Nothing again today......... but I got some big quad wheels done for a friend. We must work on the white night tomorrow......

Posted by: mxdad423

Hey Mike, wheels look like they come out great. You missed out on the bowling today though, Rich kicked my a**, I think he was sand bagging the first 10 frames and set me up. You should of came and bowled a few frames with us. Rich is coming up tommorrow morning and we are going to get the intake gasket changed on my motorhome so I have it ready for Doublin Gap. I got Brandon's quad dialed in finally, runs great. 170 main, 52 pilot and the clip one below the middle and the plug looks perfect so that's a big head ache out of the way. Let me know when you need me on Kyle's quad and I will get down to Mo-town to give you a hand.

Kevin Smitley

Posted by: etondaddy

Yea......they came out great. I heard I missed the the big PBA bowling tournament today, I had to get those wheels done. We need to go bowling one Friday night............ Brunswick 51 lanes in Rostraver has a bar.......... that's my kind of bowling.

The mount looks good. It's a lot like the 300ex I setup I did. And it had a lot of power. I also have a yzf 450 with a magura brake that well stall the bike with the brake on, It can't even move the gas and on brake on at the same time. I look forward to hearing how it works.

Mike, did you get the pics of the bracket I sent to you ?

Posted by: etondaddy

Yes I did Robb............... sorry I didn't get back to you. I'm in the concrete business and works getting busy and trying to work on the quad. I'm hoping to hear from Charlie soon...... I think I got it.... it was really no big deal, I just got freaked out the day I called. I just hope the kick starter doesn't mess it up too bad. It's good to know that I can call you for advice... you build some really nice ...and fast stuff.

I'm tired tonight.... and nothing got done... Kyle played around polishing a scrap piece of aluminum...... I guess I'm lucky he could be doing something a lot worse.

It's a shame it looked so good before me and Kyle started welding it..... lol. Dave Carter you have nothing to worry about buddy me and Kyle have a long way to go........... lol

Are you going to ad the Budweiser can to the frame, maybe as a gusset somewhere. Anyway that quad is looking good, its so clean it would hurt my feelings the first time I saw get all muddy.

Yeah............ we can build the Bud quad like on Orange County Choppers..........

Kyle and I have had our share of fights building quads over the years, but the one thing he never argues with me about is when I say Kyle go get daddy a beer.......... he knows when it comes to that I'm about ready to loose it......

I just can't wait to get it muddy and get it over with....... he was taping powdercoat out of some bolt holes and I'm blowing the stuff off the quad........... sick

Posted by: musky

Hey Mike that quad is really looking sharp. Whens the 1st race on it? Since Rileys done racing for now we are going to try & make it over to High Point since its only about an hour from the house. Hey I'm still wanting those parts ole buddy, give me a call when you get the chance. Kevin & I are trying to get a Wild Things game planned out you & your family should try to make it up.
Ron

Posted by: etondaddy

Thanks..... it won't be long now...... not sure when he's going to race it hoping for the National.

Hope Riley's feeling better.

A ball game sounds like a great idea !!!!

The clutch parts are yours we just need to get together
