[QUOTE="CDA, post: 122476, member: 103"] I still stick to my original post of painting it. Mentioned that it will get worst over the winter until the snow melts. So take the pipe off now and prep and paint.:prof: If you are dead set on getting a new pipe and want an FMF, I will share my experiences with these pipes and jetting over the years. I have ran FMF pipes over the course of my 101 years of riding and I find that the only real thing that I needed to do is move the clip on the needle one position. I have ran a fatter main one size on occasion but is to handle holding the throttle in the wide open range for long periods of time when I thought I was a fast young gun :smirk: I never had a 125 2 stroke but I did do the same thing for my son's YZ85 and all the 250 and 500 2 strokes I owned over the many years.
