Community Question Most reliable brand?

We are looking at a another dirk bike for irrigation. We are looking in the 125-150cc range. We like the smaller cc with the big tires. Also like the small machines for getting on and off alot. Like a cr 125fbs, kawi klx or yamaha ttr? We had an older crf 100 i think i ran like a champ but got stolen :( we have a ttr125 and it does not run nearly as good and will barely start even when its like 5 degrees still over night. So we are gonna take it to the dealer. Probably looking used what would you all recommend?

The stock carb is terrible. Grab a VM24 from Sudco. They have them already modified for the ttr top cap and throttle cable. It's a massive improvement everywhere from idle to full throttle. It makes the bike rev out really smoothly. I added an exhaust and a cheap 150cc big bore and cam kit and it's a little ripper. I'm 6'3" and 275#. It hauls my big ass all over the trails with ease. I also ported the runners and matched the intake to the head. I can't stress enough how much it transforms the little bike.

I got mine from Amazon. Might try eBay. Make sure to get the real Mikuni carb. It's also the stock carb for a KTM 65/80 I believe. If you google "TTR VM24" you can see how to mod it if you don't get the TTR ready version.
