    Idling disrupts engine braking.
    i'm not a dirt rider or anything, but:
    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.
