brixton crossfire 125 xs tuning without turning it into a noisy toy
I am looking at brixton crossfire 125 xs tuning for a small bike that is fun in town but wheezy on a hill. The owner wants sound first, but I want useful pull.
I found this related page while comparing options: brixton crossfire 125 xs tuning. I wanted a practical discussion before ordering anything.
Would you check valve history, plug, air filter, intake clamps, chain slack, sprockets, brake drag, tire pressure, battery voltage and a repeatable hill test before parts?
