'94 CR-125 jetting,The old "no idle" myth

[Joshua H]

Real men don't idle...it is true
Fast riders know that you need engine braking to get around corners
faster,
Idling disrupts engine braking.

why not use the brakes for braking and the engine for going?

And while at it probably also consider, that two-strokes - especially
such little ones as the CR125R - have zilch, zero, nada, null engine
braking and might even seize if operated for prolonged times at
elevated revs with the throttle closed.

My 1994 CR250R _did_ idle, of course. As long as I wanted it to. Because
air filter and carb were clean, bike jetted properly and I was running
decent premix. 1:50 fully synthetic IIRC.
