Any must-have accessories and/or modifications?
Bob Ginder: For competition bike the following items are recomended: good aftermarket shocks, good tires, good airfilter and Renthal hadlebars. A big bore kit obviously helps. Jarmo Kaila: TL has a little spring that can be used to “lock” the left footpeg to “up” position, however in most bikes I’ve seen this spring is lost or broken. So although TL125 is quite easy to start it is probably a good idea to remove the spring from the right hand footpeg. This lets you lift up the footpeg, you get almost 1/4 turn more kick start movement. Especially advisable if you install one of the big bore kits. If you plan on doing any engine work yourself get the “Honda oil filter spanner wrench”, the special socket used to get the oil filter nut out in all these small engines. This is required just to access clutch, for example. The nut is torqued pretty tight and it won’t come out with needle nose pliers without ruining the pliers and damaging the nut (don’t ask).
