Kids!
Take one brand new YZ125 chuck it at a full sized concrete fence post (6 foot tall and angled at the top) and snap it off and this is what it does to the bike
Just not good enough, also got a damaged rad cowel and scuffs on other plastics!
Seriously this does concern me, hate the fact the bike was damaged (should have snapped the bike in half) but much better than my son hitting the post, both my twins were saying they were for some reason twisting the throttle more than they intended to now and then but I rode with them for much of the day and they seemed in control just fine, not sure if the throttle is lighter than the 85's they just came off or the power comes in more agressive, told them just take it steady until you get used to it.
He says he went on a different line than he had used all day to pass his brother and hit a big hole, somehow twisted the throttle right back and it reared up, luckily be bailed out, he got a scuff on his back and looked pale but apart from that seems ok just hope it teaches him to show caution for a fence lined rough track.
We are supposed to be out again on wednesday but can not get parts, no moving parts in that top section of the forks, a marshall rode it back and a friend rode it down the parking area and it seemed ok, I might do a lap on it to check it is ok to use first.
