Hi, some interesting comments there! Here it is from my point of view. I have just bought a brand new 08 full power RS 125.
I agree, these need to warmed properly, although try to hammer it before it's warm, you can`t, it'll restrict itself to 4000/4500 rpm. Must be a safety measure.
As for breaking in gently, mines got a sticker on the tank that says "keep under 6000 rpm for first 1000km" bulls**t! Mines got 600km on it now and since about 500km when I took it for its first service, you can open it out. Not all the time mind, this would blow any engine, but it doesn't harm to blow the crap through once in a while.
Just enjoy it! It's a 2 stroke racer, it does what it says on the tin!

Hi all.
I have got myself a 2005 RS125, had it about a month, did have 350Km on the clock, now has 850km.
Been keeping my revs between 7 and 8000, bit difficult when driving on the A2, but have gone up to 9000 but only for a second or two.
Do you think I'm pushing it a bit much? I always warm her up to 50/60 before setting off. And wait till the temp gets to about 65/70 before hitting 8000...
My main concern with her is the clutch.
I'm not sure if it's how I pull away, as I used to have an NSR125 and its first gear is very different. Can anyone tell me how you are supposed to pull away without thrashing it? I get the impression the bike wants me to do one thing, but as it's not fully broken in yet, I'm being told to do another...
But, I will for the second time tonight have to adjust the clutch at the box as it becomes loose! The lever gradually gets looser and looser until I have trouble changing gear! The tool kit that comes with it has the tool specifically for adjusting the clutch, making me think that this is to be expected...?
Anybody else had this problem or know what may be causing it? My pulling away and traffic filtering clutch control possibly? Is stopping and starting in traffic going to do this to it every week?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Matt.
