Blown fuse? Does the brake light, horn and neutral light still work?

 

dont think its a fuse, all the rest still work (well the gear lights dont, but i think they needed the battery to have abit more charge in it before they fired up will keep an eye out.
im thinking flasher unit. but i could be wrong

 

popped back out on it, the indicators work when they feel like it (not very often)
grr

 

I had a similar problem which turned out to be a duff ignition switch (I see yours is new). My fuel light would come on but the indicators and electric starter would only work every now and then even with a brand new fully charged battery. Eventually I realised that a slight turn of of the key (1mm either way) would get everything working so I cleaned the contacts up and lubed the inside of the keyway and it's fine now.

 

oo thanks berserker, ill give it a go

 

edit* as edit function doesnt really work atm
gave it a wiggle and yup fired up, strange. will get some wd in the lock

thanks

lol yeah they have their problems but tbh its a good little runner, and im looking forward to getting some longer rides done on it

 

still having grief with mine...now i cant find the keys...got until i run out of petrol to find them or get the seat up with out damage.startings no prob..the ignition works on a screw driver.got to take the engine out soon to do a few bits and see if i can open the seat from underneath....gotta buy a lock set anyway so not an issue..the gf,s sons one is a skyjet 125 twin..2 carbs 2 pipes 2 of everything...double trouble..gave it a good fiddle and it goes like stink.very surprised how rapid it is...ive put in first dibs if he gets rid of it.

 

do you want me to come get that seat up for you like I got your topbox open

 

oh christ, 2 carbs. sod that

 

I promise I wont crack the plastic around the lock this time aha !

 

never seen a twincarb setup on a 125 ?

 

and i got to synch them soon too.one of them is carrying the other....need a vacuum gauge.bugger doing it by ear and hand feel..

 

naaaa..think ile pass on that one cheers..

 

wow good luck with that

 

twin cylinder setups are rare on 125s
