Stankdog is one of the only guys in the world that is still qualifying for AMA Pro Motocross Nationals on a 125 2-stroke. In this clip from the 3 hour podcast, Jase asks Stankdog for the secrets of riding a 2-stroke 125cc Dirtbike as fast as he does! Some of the advice might sound crazy, but it is hard to argue with the lord of the 2-stroke!
//
Gared Steinke races f*cking dirtbikes... 2-Stroke dirt bikes to be exact. He is a cult figure in motocross and one of the most universally loved guys on two wheels. I have always wanted to have Gared on the podcast and I am pumped we were able to make it happen. If you don't want to rip a 125 after listening to this podcast we can't be friends.

Everyone 14+, I don’t care who you are, should spend at least 1 year on a 125.

Had a 2000 rm125 for a year and then a 2003 ktm125sx for another year before going to a YZ250f. I found out a blown motor costs a whole lot more to rebuild on a 4 stroke!

Grown men ride and race 50s and 110s, what’s wrong with one on a 125? It’s fun having a play bike

@Antholography 3 года назад

125s are coming back because a 16 year old kid can't justify sinking one and a half times the cost on a 4 stroke 250. A 2021 YZ125 can be had for like $6000 USD, brand new. A 250F is almost $8500 USD - and that's fucking insane. Then - when something goes wrong; they're completely fucked. That's the problem. That's why 2 Strokes are coming back. I understand why EFI is coming to 2 Strokes due to regulations, but simply put - no kid wants a 4 stroke bike because when it breaks - they either can't fix it themselves, or can't afford to pay someone to fix it. That is literally killing our sport. Your average kid is riding around on a clapped out 10+ year old 125 they can work on or a 250F with dubious service records. High costs of entry are strangling the youth of today out of the sport, because you basically have to be moto royalty to get anywhere. No disrespect intended at all - but do you think Haiden Deegan would be anywhere even close to where he is today if his dad wasn't Brian Deegan? Or would he be another kid ripping around on a 2007 YZ125 at his local track with zero fame? He has an immense amount of talent - but without parents willing to sink six figures into your moto career - you're not likely to go anywhere. We need a true; honest to god - certified; "sportsmans" Stock 125 Class. Get people in the door - pay a good purse for the A / Pro class; and get kids racing

@shanecoopershow 3 года назад

I always told people it's easy to sound fast and "look" fast on a 125 but actually going fast is reserved for the elites. There's something really special about 125s over 250s imo, an underpowered yet feather light full size bike with minimal gyro compared to a 450 for example.. It almost feels like riding a motorized bmx bike sometimes 😅

I notice that if I hang out in the back of the group I tend to ride slower and my buddies will start to pull away from me. But if I'm in front I can hear them so I ride way faster because I'm always worried that I'm holding them up. And any time I end up leading the group they always say I'm hauling ass and they can't catch me🤔🇺🇲

Missed the 125 years as stopped at 12 on an 85, came back to it at 18 on a 250. Now 24 just picked up a ‘20 husky 125 and just found a whole new love for the sport, can only describe it like a mountain bike with an engine on it, the control and feel for the bike is far better and I finally feel like I’m riding the bike rather than the bike riding me, was always skeptical over the whole 2 stroke thing but proud to be a convert

Gotta carry momentum and keep the rpms up and learn when a motor is over revving and losing power a 125 will make a rider

@andy347495 3 года назад

What ever advise someone gives, its all about keeping momentum up. Shift to soon lose momentum, rev it too high lose momentum. Stay out of the soft stuff on berms (i.e. stay low). Find the straightest line. A lot of times I found it fastest to use the first foot or so of berm to help change my direction and miss the apex then maybe use the exit of the berm to finish changing directions if you have to. Don't stuff corners like tomac and j-mart Line selection is about the most important thing on 125.

@austinmack5660 3 года назад

I ride a 2001 Honda CR125 and I hate having to hit 1st on the track so this is perfect advice for me. This is so good, I'm not even done watching and I could watch it 10 more times.

@hon702aa 2 года назад

An old trick with the 01 cr125... 02 rm125 piston and have the head domed cause the piston sticks up above the cylinder. It changes the port timing. I would blow the doors of of 250f's back in the day

@DirtBikes_MathGarden 3 года назад

Been doin 80 mile hare n hound desert races on my 125s for a year now. These are already notoriously very challenging desert races, and the 125 makes it so much more difficult. But Stankdog is right, they do make you a better rider! Good luck climbing rocky gnarly hills on a 125 without picture perfect technique and the ability to carry crazy momentum!

@austinmonk8809 2 года назад

Rode a 125 for a couple years in desert and you are 100% right. Got on a 450 and went out and had a 30 minute lead just because I rode it like my 125

If you can ride a 125 properly you can go fast on anything! I’m glad I was the last generation of kids to go from 80s/supermini to a 125 . The 250fs weren’t all that great, hell I think Yamaha was the only one making them. And nothing is more fun and satisfying than one clean lap on a 125.

When i was 16 in the 90s my first mx bike was an 86 rm250. Then shortly after i upgraded to a 95 yz 250. I never owned a 125 but rode several of the era and it was definitely a very different ride. I feel like 250f to 450f isnt that drastic like the difference between a 125 and 250. 125 certainly makes you better and moving around on the bike and working with it. Id love to have a fleet of then to rip around! Cool to hear stankD talk about this.

@brianjacobsen5762 2 года назад

Even though 125,250,500 were all 2. Strokes ride each one differently. My KX 500 would wear you the fuck out. While the 250 felt faster more controlled. 125 is a shift fest.Tobride fast depends on the conditions rocky sandy muddy. All I know is. When your behind a 500. Keep your head down. Do the rocks bounce off the top of your Helmut.

I'm wondering what tracks he's talking about riding in first. Id get passed if I was in 1st through a corner. Maybe my gearing is different but I'm always in 2nd in the corners. 2nd-5th. 1st is useless. I don't have any problem keeping the revs up in 2nd so I feel like that advice is dependent on what track you're on. I only use 1st if I'm trail riding

Loved how you could scream around sharp corners in 1st and coming out and down straight quick as you almost could changing up gears most time to almost 6th, but you could hardly hear difference in revs when changing. Flat changing high revs made it always up there. Avagud1

If your not fast on a 125 you won't be fast on a 450 125s are my favorite bikes to ride to be honest

@charliechristian1097 Год назад

First time on a dirt cycle was a 250 on this insane overland trail in the mountains. I really fw it but a 250 is almost a too big of a bike for a total.noob for me

Use to see GS at the local tracks all the time. The guy is a 100% BEAST! Every time I broke out a camera the guy busted out the good stuff. Good dude for sure.

As much as 1st can get a bit rough and is the hardest gear to change from, this man is talking straight facts and it shows. Love how others can disagree with the Stank when he could smoke theee fuckkk out of us both though💨😭

HA right! RU-vid commentors disagreeing with one of only 2 or 3 dudes actually racing a 125 at a national level!

@glazedandconfused4756 2 года назад

I just don't understand how going slow enough to shift into 1st would be faster. What gearing is he running??

@MotoRevelations 2 года назад

@@glazedandconfused4756 because it's on the power instead of bogging down in second. He was clearly talking about tight/inside corners more than anything

@glazedandconfused4756 2 года назад

@@MotoRevelations I realized afterwards he does arenacross and is probably talking about that. If you're in 1st gear anywhere on an outdoor track you're doing something wrong, even the inside corners you can be in the power in 2nd gear

@PBYZB 3 года назад

Right, like I’ve never even seen 1st gear on a track. I guess he is going slow around corners...

He said shift to first. And right after said 4th when it’s lugging is good. Lol I’d say ride it from 2nd to 5th. 1st runs out too fast.

U the biggest riding tip if ur capable is riding every bike like its a 125cc two stroke...i worked at a race shop an was able to buy to 125cc kx kawis that were pro national bikes with no stone un turned the older one the 90 was so dialed it was my favorite bike...when i moved to florida the track owned loaned me his 92 KX 500 an i was scared bevause i never raced a 500 but i tryed my best to ride it like a 125...an i love sand so they came to me wow someone who can actually ride a 500...it was actually a very good a decent bike i got over being scared quick because it was such a good handling bike i get the holeshot on any bike but especially on the 500..like dah

I love how he points out guys over revving the fuck out of 125's. Yes they need to rev, but I've seen videos of guys that definitely know how to ride doing just what he's saying.... staying in one gear waaaaay too fuckin long. Unless you click up a gear it will eventually stop pulling. You can't stay in one gear forever. Use the fucking gearbox as he said.
