Picked up a 2020 Yamaha YZ125X recently. Forgot how much fun it is to ride a 125! The YZ125X feels so light. Need to work the throttle, clutch, and shift lever to keep the engine working though the YZ125X runs better than I expected in the low to mid RPM range. I rode a short section of dried out creek bed today to show how this engine works just putting around exploring or making your own trails. It was about 85F here in Ohio today. The jetting on the this bike is stock though I was running a FMF Factory Fatty pipe and FMF Power Core 2 silencer today. The FMF exhaust gave the engine a little quicker response in the upper mid to top end RPM range. I was expecting a bigger change in power. I am running the suspension with the stock clicker settings and it simply works with a plush and absorbing feel.
The YZ125X is such a lightweight bike with excellent suspension and a responsive engine...it all adds up to a very fun off road bike!
