How to Choose the Best Powerband For Your Riding Needs
Porting is included with every big bore kit and powervalve and head modifications must be performed for piston clearance. We offer two basic options; more low to mid and more mid to top end. Big bores make more low-end power just because of displacement. Choosing more mid to top end gives a wider powerband overall. The more low-end option works great for heavier riders, off-road, stadium mx, and it’s the #1 choice of female riders because it gives a 125 a similar powerband to a 4-stroke. The best part is we offer free updates to the porting for two years and we’ll inspect and diamond hone the cylinder too.
Production dirt bikes are designed to burn race gas with octane of at least 98MON. We offer you the choice of race gas or pump gas, however in choosing pump gas we lower the compression ratio below stock and you will sacrifice a bit of potential but overall it’s still better than a stock sized engine. For riders who live and ride in the mountains at high altitude, we offer a special head modification to compensate for the lower air density. The Service Order Form has boxes to check for all of these options and you need to print that form from your web browser and send it along with your top end or engine parts.
What Size 125?
In the application chart above you’ll notice that there are as many as three displacement options; 134, 139, and 144cc. The displacement options are based on two factors; piston sizes available from Wiseco and the relative thickness of the cylinder casting and the powervalve design. For example the 2000-04 Honda CR125 can’t be converted to a 144 because the cylinder is very thin above the exhaust port. There are a lot of myths about big bores propagated by the dirt bike magazines, like 139s make more power than a 144. That’s bunk! Another funny myth is that a 144 piston is so heavy that your hands will vibrate off the handlebars and your engine’s crankshaft will shake apart. That’s baloney too! A 144cc piston is only less than 1 ounce heavier than a 124cc piston. The biggest myth in the dirt bike business is that you have to spend $2,000 on a 125 to make it competitive with a 250F.
Who Rides 144s?
Eric Gorr invented the first 144 in 1976 for a customer who was bigger than average but still loved the handling of a 125. Since then 144s have become popular in off-road racing where 125 race with 200s. Pro mx racers used them illegally in 125 Supercross to get into the main event. In recent years the greatest demand is from 125 2-stroke racers trying to equalize against the 250F advantage.
Catalog Parts Not Custom! Cheap and Easy Everywhere.
We build kits using AMA approved Wiseco piston kits, which are available from Forward Motion, Wiseco dealers, Parts Unlimited dealers, or virtually any mail order motorcycle company. These are catalog commodity parts, not high priced frequently back-ordered custom pistons like our competitors use. Also our kits use stock or aftermarket replacement kits on the models that use head o-rings. Models like the Honda CRs and Kawasaki KXs use steel head gaskets and companies like Cometic and Moose Racing make oversized gaskets for the same price as stock. Our competitors use expensive spacer plates so you’re stuck buying replacements from them.
Warranty?
Although no new dirt bike comes with a warranty, Forward Motion has a liberal policy regarding top end failures and warranties. However all the damaged parts and sometimes the engine must be submitted for evaluation. FM developed a special program for people with our big bores that had problems beyond the scope of a normal warranty. The “Warranty Special” covers everything from normal wear and tear to dirt scratches from not oiling your filter, piston-seizure from not pre-mixing oil with the fuel, too-lean jetting, crashing, overheating from failed cooling systems, broken studs, cracks, powervalve breakage, and connecting rod failure. The cost is only $125 to repair the bore and you don’t even have to disassemble the powervalves. In fact we insist that you send us the complete top end so we can help you determine the root cause of the engine failure to fix it right the first time and save you money. We also offer free diamond honing ($25 value) of supermini and 144 cylinders for two years after you buy it. Nickel-Composite cylinder plating is so tough that in many cases, even when the piston seizes, we can clean it up with just honing!
NEW 144CC KITS FOR 2003-07 CR, KX, RM, & YZ
These kits are based on new original parts and fit late model Honda CR125, Kawasaki KX125, Suzuki RM125, and Yamaha YZ125. You will need to swap the studs and other hardware from your top end, and the Suzuki and Yamahas require minor crankcase clearance modifications that can be performed on an assembled engine with the proper masking techniques. Instructions are included. These kits are ideal for people who want to keep their original parts rather than sending their top ends to America for tuning. We’ll sell you the new parts and tuning for less money than our competitors like Max Power, Varner, PR2, and Stan Stephens, Hardcore, and Aptec (UK) charge for just the labor to your parts alone! These cylinders come with a 1-year warranty on the Nickel-Composite cylinder plating. There are no markings or embossments on the cylinders either; they look completely original, unlike the Athena cylinders. For all international orders, we’ll ship them by Global Express Mail free of charge within 4 days, email you the tracking number and the invoice, plus we’ll write the export documents to streamline the process for your country. These are all special order parts that we can process within 10 days. You get to choose customization like cylinder tuning for more mid to top end for mx or more low to mid for enduro or beginner mx plus the type of racing petrol you use. If you want to order a kit, email Eric at ericgorr@hotmail.com Americans and English speaking individuals can just call 1-630-825-5645 6am to 6pm -7 hours GMT.
