Hi, just picked up this today for £100, was looking pretty sorry for itself. Not sure which way to go with it yet, cafe it, bigger bore kit or just get it back running right as a standard 125.
Anyway, here it is:
Still not entirely sure why i bought it, everything needs something doing to it :s

I'm in the middle of fishing out one of the exhaust studs now. Other faults include but are not limited to...
Dead battery
Both fork seals
Fuel tank leak
Back tyre done
Sprocket carrier loose
Side stand kick lug broken off
Found all that in first five minutes. Had it in garage last night but the fumes were awful so called it until i can do tank.
It's now called Stinky.

LOL! - All at under 6 years old. The better known Chinese bikes are getting a bit better generally, but from that era with a Chinese brand I've not heard of, the thing will be made out of monkey metal and cheese.I'm in the middle of fishing out one of the exhaust studs now.

In other news, just bought these for seven quid including post...
They're 26mm i/d but there's enough meat to take them out to 30-31 easily. Should be quite adjustable.
In other, other news, 2 exhaust studs out, 2 still soaking, one of which is broken but about 10-15mm out. Tried everything else so i'm going to have to heat them out. Need to pull the tank first as i has quite a bad fuel leak tho.
Oh, also one of the egr bolts snapped off too. Bugger.

Right, just had another hour doing a bit of exploratory digging.
Battery is newish but bone dry. I'll try to revive it.
Tank has a fuel leak near the tap somewhere but it isn't the tap itself. No visible signs of where from, but definitely leaks badly.
Front mudguard had one snapped bolt. Guard looks good, been powdercoated but has cracks round the mounting plates. Might not refit it.
I'm starting to toy with a cone filter as i've got a few lying around, but need to hide the battery somewhere. Depends what seat unit it gets i guess.
Exhausts are solid and aftermarket cans fit well and look good. Anyway, if anyone's still reading this here's some pics...
