DRZ125 & KLX125 Wheels & Tires
Do you guys do green super moto wheels for the KLX125?
I want to trick out our 2003 KLX125 a little. Thinking about a big bore kit with the cam, and wanted to ask you about the bigger valves--what does it take to get them installed? How reliable are they? What about a rev limiter? Have you guys ever played around with that? Do you have a shifter that will get rid of the stock linkage set up?
Also, can you lace up some flat track / super moto rims in green? What's the price for them?
A:To take advantage of the bigger valves you need to open up the ports in the head. You would need to take the head to a shop that can do porting work and valve jobs, we don’t do that. The bigger valves will make a huge difference, especially in a big bore high revving motor. We have a complete PVL ignition system that eliminates the stock rev limiter and it also takes almost 2 lb off the flywheel weight. The PVL runs $449.
I have not yet found a no-linkage shifter that isn't way too long. When we find one I will add it to the web site.
I don't have a source for green super moto rims. We could send out some silver ones to be anodized but that would probably add around $300 to the standard $899 price.
Why does it take 3 weeks to build a wheel?
Can you tell me why it takes three weeks to get a wheel to me?
A:All of our wheels are built to order, and like any custom item, that takes time. Depending on the time of day we receive your order, we call our rim and spoke supplier that day or early the next to order your rim letting them know what size and brand of rim we want. We tell them what kind of hub this rim will be laced to as well. They start with a blank (undrilled) rim and drill spoke nipple holes at the correct angles for your particular hub. They also make the spokes in the necessary lengths and bend them to mate the hub to the rim. This process typically takes 5-10 working days, and then a couple of days to ship them to us.
While the rim and spokes are being produced, we order the hub from the appropriate vendor. Once the rim and spokes are done, we assemble and true the wheel. We usually do this the same day we receive all of the wheel components, but occasionally it takes us an extra day. Once the wheel is built, we install the tires (if they come with it) and then box them all up and ship them. Shipping takes 2-10 days depending on your location and shipping method selected.
So, you can see, it is just one of those things that takes some time to pull together. We do our very best to get them to you as quickly as possible.
