Default Yamaha TTR 125 LE is gone YZ 85!!!

Traded the 2007 TTR 125 LE straight up with a guy for a 2007 YZ85...His kid wanted a less powerful bike and I wanted something with more umph. The bike needed plastics (not really as they were just scratched) all around but that was it...Just got them and put them on...Got a new tank from eBay for $90 so put that as well (there was a scratch I could not live with - yes I am vain)...Put on new bar, grips, changed out the throttle assembly, lever (waiting on clutch side), clutch perch, changed air filter (what a mess with oiling a filter), bought a new seat cover and changed it, cleaned every part of the thing...just waiting for new front brake cable, graphics kit (undecided) and that is it...I was tired by days end but happy with the results.

Good thing is it is taller than the TTR 125 LE and has more travel by a huge margin.

The thing freaking screams (has FMF exhaust that is insane loud) and is pretty fast...Pretty powerful little bike as the front likes to come up...Red sticker tho So August is when I can ride it at Carnegie.

Give me a Tuesday to post pics (I did everything yesterday took pics of when everything was off the bike) as I have meetings all day tomorrow.


I was happy with the trade.
