[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 187735, member: 1650"] well you might think long and hard about a bike that may have had some cylinder work that included some aggressive porting. they dont make very good trail bikes. if it was me looking for a 125 right now it would be for play and trail as my two current yz's are. both have big bore kits, and one has the port timing retarded for better low end. they are both light and quick. the late 90's yz's have a reputation for having soft gears. I have not found that to be the case, but myths become truths if lots of people keep repeating them. I have a 98 engine on hand currently that is going to go into one of my rigs when i wear out an engine. it will take some milling on the pivot mount if i want to put it into the 2003 frame, but more likely it will end up in an older (95 frame) . anyway, i would probably look for a low price worn engine and good frame and wheels. I can find those for well under 800 when i look patiently. running but worn out, then go for a new topend with the big bore and a new rod. then you are into a great engine and complete bike for under 15 if you shopped good. that is just me though. if that man really did have his yz built from the crankshaft up you may be able to trade his cylinder and head for cash and a worn one to have redone and come out good if you can get him down to say 11.
