presentation of the 125 TDR 1995
you can have a small one and make it work like a big one. Such is the case with the TDR. its well-designed 125 cm3 and TDM silhouette give it a much higher profile than its displacement would suggest, especially as its size makes it easy to pass off as a medium-displacement machine. The 2-stroke, single-cylinder engine, though packed with power, is somewhat lacking in thrills in its legal version. Outside our borders, the mill is much nicer in full version (its power is almost doubled). It's just a pity that legislation prevents us from taking full advantage of this pleasant engine.
As if not to betray its aesthetics, roadholding is similar to that of a big machine. With its perimeter frame and excellent powertrain, the TDR is at ease everywhere, superbly pleasant in town and always up for a ride. The machine's handling is obvious and healthy. Braking and comfort are excellent. Easy to handle and light, the only criticism is that the seat is a little high and hard, and that it has a typically 2-stroke signature: ticklish smell, 600 cc fuel consumption and mob noise, but a punch that no 125 4-stroke can match. In addition to its dynamic qualities, the machine is very well equipped: alloy wheels, package holder, good instrumentation, front and rear brake discs, hinged fuel filler cap (some of the more upscale machines in the category don't offer this). The price is commensurate with the performance of one of the best 125s on the market.

Only the noise of the 2-stroke is its negative point for me.otherwise, I hope to keep it as long as possible. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Meule38
looking for information left and right, some people tell me that for a 2t engine it is necessary to mix petrol and oil to obtain the right fuel and not to tighten the engine, which can be a disadvantage
As you all seem to be happy with this bike, is this really the case? Do you have to add oil to the fuel from the pump? Or does the model offer an automatic process like on some Suzuki 2t models?
thank you for your answers to a motorcycle novice Rating : 5/5 Respond to berty
technical "details"!!!
for example power!
here 25 hp announced (full but stock)
whereas the 1st DT-R and TZR in 1987
already claimed 26 hp with a small carburetor!
and 6-stroke electronics
not to mention the evolution of valves, lungs, etc..
do you even read
the manufacturer's data sheet?
thank you Rating : 3/5 Respond to 2strokes

About the 125TDR, I know it because my father and I bought one new in 1998. I still own it.
In my memory, the TDR was severely limited and put out 15CV so that young 125 licence holders could drive it. BUT it's true that it could be unbridled. It had the same mill as the 125TZR (Yam's sports bike), except that the gearbox was shorter on the TDR.
These 125 engines were real bombs. The TZR and TDR could achieve more than 30 HP (34 or 35 from memory) and the TZR could reach 170 km/h. The TDR was, for me, a model in terms of comfort, thanks to its high seating position and top-notch suspension.
So, to sum up, a limited TDR (as I have it) tops out at 120. But if you take it out of gear (remember, it's not authorized), you'll really have a lot of fun. What's more, it was as comfortable on the road as it was on the trails. Well, it's not a cross-country bike! But on dry undergrowth paths (the tires were cut for the road and not studded), it's a real treat! And it has to be said that it was bigger than a classic 125!
And even after almost 20 years, I still find it very much up to date, with riding pretensions that are still relevant today. And, for the record, it holds a special place in my life, as it was on this bike that I first hit the tarmac. It wasn't serious, but a first is still a first!
So much for that little contribution.

Are you sure you've refitted the float and needle? It is likely that the needle is blocked.....It is sometimes enough to tap on the bowl of the carburetor with the handle of a screwdriver to unblock it, but it is necessary to know the cause!?!

(top engine rebuilt)
When I started off, I managed to keep up with a 1991 125 KX with a rebuilt engine, from the height of my 1.82m for 80KG, and managed 145KM/H on the flat
The engine has been opened twice by me, and is fed with IGOL Propuls racing
I don't overestimate it, but it's a fabulous bike, except for its fuel consumption, which is 2tps!

Only drawback: high fuel consumption with a small tank = too little range

Apart from a few teething problems, it's very easy to handle, pleasant to ride, and still outperforms the 125 varadero, even though the latter is more complete and more imposing, but the seat height is lower, in my opinion. In any case, I don't regret it,
I'll miss it when I get my large-displacement license, but I intend to take its big sister, the TDM Rating : 5/5 Respond to le_corbeau
