Just got the last RD125LC Nikon race pipe ever to be made from Frank at Nikon today ;D ;D ;D

It has been in storage sine 1992 (when the last batch was made).

Had a go with a 170 main jet (standard is 155) and I also premix. However it is running lean on the 170

. Pulled in 1-4th to 12,000 rpm with tremendous power. But it just kept getting hotter and hotter. Only went 10 miles to test but it got too hot and lost some power so I had to stop to allow it to cool. Was amazed also to see the pipe had turned a bronzie/goldie color.

Cases and rad felt normal temperature but cylinder and head were too hot. The end can was also very hot which again suggests it was lean.

When i got it home I pulled the plug out and it was very light brown, no heat damage/oxidation but very light brown.

I am also in need of a new exhaust gasket.

So i have ordered a new copper type gasket and a 180 main jet. Which should cool it down and allow it to pull to the red in all gears

I just hope the over heat has caused no permanent damage

I also need to drain the fuel as I'm using really crap oil which won't be helping

Castrol r40, 180 main, new gasket, new gear oil, washed air filter and new plug, then I will have abother go

I know its not the same but when i went from standard pipe to a swarbrick, open air box, mild tune and premix i had to go from a 170 jet to a 220. Runs lovely now, pulls clean revs out in every gear and plugs always a nice brown. TZR125 by the way

Whatever you do........ don't bolt that NOS Nikon pipe on your 125LC, cos when you do it will no longer be NOS and will be second-hand like everyone elses

;D ;D

Only kidding...... nice pipe that
