Pre-Season Inspection Protocol
At the start of each season, run a complete torque check on the 1995 CR125, starting with the engine (cylinder head, spark plug), then the chassis (swingarm, linkage, subframe), and finishing with the wheels (axles, sprockets) and brakes (caliper, disc). Note any fastener that was loose and address the root cause. Consistent loosening in the same location may indicate stripped threads, missing threadlocker, or a worn locking feature that needs to be addressed before the riding season begins.
