Hi all, i would like to find out if its possible to raise the height of the XR 125L to make it look more garang. Kinda feel that the rear wheel is quite near the seat..which makes it look like a normal bike rather than a scram Has anione has experience raising the height of their scrams?

bro wat my friend did to his xr was he added brackets or something to make his rear jacked up.. then he bent his number plate slightly facing the sky which further improve the outlook or the bike.

then he took out his air filter cap and made the sound very hollow. overall his xr quite nice but i still prefer to keep my xr as stock as possible besides all the acerbis plastics..

cheers

Tks Avita that's a v.useful tip. Btw..are u and ur fren riding the XR125L? I just bought my bike today and shd be collecting it next wk I'm considering adding the bracket or whatever it is to jack up the rear...any idea how much it costed ur fren?? Also considering to change some of the stock plastics if possible to enhance the look. Ta

I have been planning to raise the bike height for quite some time now... and the only shop which is able to do it is Aunty shop... for 75 smackaroonies! i think thats kinda expensive ...most of the shop i went to said that by doin so might damage the sprocket ... so now im contemplating :blink:

$75...sounds okay if the bracket is included. I guess if u dun intend to bring ur bike for track shouldn't be a problem to raise the height.

so far i have changed the acerbis headlights, added some handle guards, change the bar etc.. u can try going to chiong aik at joo chiat, thats where i did up these stuff.. i use this bike as transport so i didnt jack.. my friend got his bike from his brother-in-law and the bike was already done up when he got it..

cheers

Please DO NOT add any "home made" brackets to your suspension linkage. There have been cases where these brackets gave way. Not a pretty sight.

Unless the link is made by some reputable companies, I would not try to alter the geometry of the bike. If you think the bike is too low, buy another taller bike.

my friend's dad made him the bracket mod, but feels sucky.

XR125 looks really like a normal bike, that it could be mistaken as an RXZ.

my headlights are the ones that are chrome and the lens are replacable. i got it at $130 at chiong aik..

though xr125l looks like a normal transport bike but if did up nicely i am sure it wil outshine on the road too.. haha..

Just got my ride...quite nice...except that it doesn't have the power of my previous phantom 150. Overall..quite satisfied. I dun think it look like a RXZ though...coz the shape of XR125 is rather unique..a class of its own...perhaps comparable to SAF scramblers. Hah.

David, maybe we can meet up someday for coffee haha.. enjoy your ride

sounds cool...enjoy ur ride too.

Wah..good..now more XR125 riders! :rolleyes:

And i dont think the bike looks like an RXZ ... only the height is kinda same i guess .. dats why there is a need to raise the bike to look more "fierce" ,the only problem is wthr by doin so will it damage any part of the bike

Avita - Thanks for the infos ... will go there to get a hand guard..

David - Do inform me if u wanna raise yr bike.. i wanna tag along

maybe one day we can really meet up for coffee or take a ride around.. anyway i am thinking to install an alarm on this bike.. still scouting for a cool and good one.. of course within my budget haha
