Hi. I'm Brett. I used to ride when I was kid until I was 15 when my brand new 2003 YZ125 was stolen at 6 months old. I started riding in 2001 on a brand new TTR-125, 6 months later I moved up to a 2002 YZ85 and 11 months later I got my 2003 YZ125 and started racing.
10 years later I'm back and I just bought a used 2000 Kawasaki KX125. The bike is in running condition but I took it completely apart to rebuild it to its former glory and beyond. It was in way worse condition than i was anticipating, but I'm all about the project. The bike was poorly maintainted so basically every bolt on the bike was rusted and didn't match any others, there were tire knobs missing, some stripped screws etc.
I am looking forward to re-learning how to work on, maintain and ride a dirt bike. haha And I am open to all the wisdom and advice I'm sure I will find here.
My bike was taken from me and it was my favorite thing in the world. I plan on rebuilding this KX to where it runs like a brand new bike and looks like a custom factory ride. Any input is always appreciated!
