Good choice. I had an 03 and it was a great bike. As a matter of fact I ran into the guy I sold it to today at a local riding spot. You'll be glad you didn't get the 125 after you get comfortable on it. Be gentle with the throttle. She will take off with very little twist.

I think 2-strokes are better suited with knobbies although I have seen a couple of street legal CR500's set up for supermoto that looked like fun.

Im in, I tried to find a good deal on a Honda but wound up buying my Yamaha. I found an 03 that had been ridden 3 times. No lie and I scooped it up:

How in the hell could anyone stand owning a nice bike like that for two years and only riding it for an hours amount of time. It really boggles my mind, not even gonna think about the money that was wasted to buy it, get no ride time out of it, and then even sell it for $500 less than was paid for it; foolish people I guess. It's great for you though.

today i went out and started my bike, and let it sit there and warm up. when i came back out there was a black puddle on the ground. I looked over the bike and where the 2 pieces of the pipe connect, black sh*t is coming out. Is it just a small leak and i need to tighten it, or is it somthing more serious. It dripped down all over my bike i tryed to clean it as best as i can, but tongiht when i get home from work or tomarrow ill clean it more. Please let me know what you guys think.

Know I don't feel like an ***, because I know people who have gone out and bought brand new bikes and quads, ride them a few hours and sell them, one reason I commented was to find out why this guy had a bike for a couple years and only rode an hour.

just checked my spark plug and the electrode or the tip is golden brown and about 3 threads are black like oil on them. I think that is normal, so basically i just have a exhuast leak and thats nothing. Also im just wondering, do you guys put stabalizer in the gas tank for the winter, or you cant becuase its 2 stroke? how do you guys winterize your bikes? Drain all fluids out. If i dont drain the fluids then i will start it like 3 times a week. What's the best way?
