Cr125 Shifter Kart On The Street 80mph

Here is a video of myself driving my newly purchased 1999 cr125 Birel Shifter Kart. I was able to get the kart into 5th gear for just a sec. which was 82mph on the gps. The previous owner said that the kart will do 98mph when held wide open in 6th gear. I will be doing a full restoration build series with this Shifter Kart so stay tuned!

🔥 this is so fire but idk how I'ma put it in my house after since I got no garage. I'll need 2 more hands to put it thru the door sideways

[floridalottery]

all that engine braking will kill the kart

Can’t wait for a 2 stroke 4 stroke shoot out!

Sounds like it has a short circuit gearset with a short ratio transmission. It makes for some quick acceleration, but downshifting takes longer since the engine wants to keep revs up high and spins the engine into the redline. I know the brakes are gonna be sticky on these things, so even slowing down ain't gonna be easy and gentle. lol

hey! how fo you maintain your shifter kart and is it hard?

[cxbra]

This is why I will NEVER buy anyone elses kart. This does damage to the crank bearings, not only the top end. I know how respect my CR85 motor! I run it rich, NEVERR engine brake my motor and run Motul oil.

[whoisluu]

Do you use the clutch when you shift everytime?

[smokeybear]

Think I'm sell one my jetski for a kart

[Adrians_Garage]

Whats up man I got one cant get it to start you might helping me

[jjfishingmd]

That is horrible for a two stroke engine to rev up when u down shift because there is know oil getting to the piston and eventually it’ll wear out and blow up because there’s no engine oil like a four stroke not hating love the shifter kart

[adventureslim]

Where did you get the shifter and clutch set up

[januszwitwicki]
