Honda RS 125 project

[Dennis Cahoon]

1990 RS 125 road race engine/hotsaw. Started this last year but got side tracked. Here's what it looks like, should be up and running soon. BTW/Honda claims this little engine has 38hp stock. We'll see??? There is also a cr 125 being built at the same time. Hoping to get these ready for a race this summer. Will start out with a 14 tooth/404 sprocket and chain and see how that works out.

Got the RS 125 running last night......Sounds really Kool!.....Waiting for the sprocket to show up, then I'll put it in the wood and video it cutting.

Are there different classes for bikesaws Dennis ?

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

I built this to race in Western Canada......Canalog races. Their rules are 140cc max, any engine, any fuel. Makes it interesting when you can experiment with something besides a chainsaw, at least to me. Some of the Canadians don't like seeing it, but that's the rules, and I'm not the only bikesaw now days. I'll probably leave this saw in BC for my son-in-law.

Got the sprocket on and ready to go. Finishing up the final little things and will have it in the wood today or tomorrow. Putting together another cr125 for Gil Lane at the same time, just for Squamish. If I can get all the parts in time, there will be at least 2 125's running there this year. I'll post some pictures or video's soon.

This was supposed to be video, but came out pictures with my Go-pro camera. Wrong mode. With the weather being 104 during the day it's hard to jet this thing in. It was at 125 main and 92 low. Way to lean on both. Changed it today at 135/95 and it's much better, but still to lean on top.

More information on the Canada / USA Rules?

Dennis, can you provide more info about the rules you mentioned?

Dennis, was that the Art Martin "cheater chain", I lent you? What gives? Mike Rupley said he'd do your filing after King Dung did the stoning.
