SR125 1991 - Rough 😀

[TomDrewett]

Riding for about a year, owner of a fairly rough 1991 model and enjoying the trials of running a 30 year old small bike

Yeah, that does look a little rough! And possibly like it's frame has been modified! lol.

I like that you're apparently fixing some of it with a hammer though...  

[TomDrewett]

If you can’t fix it with a hammer then it must be electrical!

 

yes, previous owner did rather a hacksaw job on the frame, I can see what he was aiming for but craftsman he was not!

current issue I have is CDI Unit. One unit and the bike will only tickle 50mph, the other it runs like a dream 60mph plus for about 12 miles, then misfires and conks out. I’m trying to find out if there is a modern workaround / new unit that can be made to work 

[Snakebite68]

I suspect neither of them are set at factory settings...

[TomDrewett]

No progress on CDI unit, have had a couple of used ones through EBay which haven’t generated a spark at all.

On the plus side Theory Test Passed and Module 1 booked for late June
