ya i'll go over it and check everything out better safe than sorry. My brother has the yamaha ttr 125 and he beats the crap out of that bike. Its definatly a tough bike never ahd one problem with the engine, he broke the frame in half but nothin a peice of steel and a welder didnt fix. But for your size i would definatly suggest something bigger, my brother is only like 120 and he says he bottoms out the the swingarm all the time and not much power with 170 on it you would be lucky to reach 80km/h 45MPH
