I'm getting 2,500, I was thinking of putting it into my 4 stroke, or buying a used 2stroke for about 3 grand probably a yz 125 or rm 125. What would you do?

If you would use them, have 2 bikes. Especially if you like different types of riding.
This would also give you a buddy bike.

whats wrong with a 2002 KX 125 haha! I would honestly get a lot of those things for your 4 stroke and save some money for future repairs. Because if you buy a bad 2 stroke you can wind your self up in some problems.

I'd do the importsant stuff like tires and chain and sprockets and the air filters . I'd buy a set of feeler gauges and adjust the valves myself cause it's very simple. Use some of your money to buy a shop manual for it. You can also clean the carb yourself with a can of carb cleaner and a can of air it's very simple. Afer all the important stuff was done I'd see how much I had left and see what I could get for that amount . All this also depends on how old your bike is , how many hours are on it , and what sort of shape it's in , and how much you're attached to it
