Reply To: Any help thanks – GT125 RC
Editing my quote below from previous reply as I believe we’re getting somewhere now.
- 8K miles. Good , it is young. Check your V5C logbook to make sure engine number is the same ?
It will need valve clearances doing as it’s done every 4k miles.
Tight valves = hard starts, bogging bike.
Hard to escape it. Only way to fix this is to sort clearances if possible.
Every 125cc motorcycle is like this, 650cc can get away with longer miles between valve checks.- If you are sure the carbs are clean, then ofcourse, it will be shown by how clean the pilot jets are by light shinning through pilots and the slides will lift easily with little drag.
- Big rip on airbox ?
- Any chance the “ORINGS” under the inlets have been replaced by now ? (CLICK HERE) Bad orings and bad inlets = directly affect how the bike runs and how it starts aswell, its loosing / leaking air. (Air VS Fuel (your carbs + fuel tap + pump) VS Sparks (Your coils, regulator, HT Caps, Plugs)
- How handy are you with a multi meter to test electronics on your bike (Easy stuff to do but it helps you know if the issue is fueling or air or electronics that’s holding her back)
What kind of speeds do you get ? How does it finally start (tell us what you did to get it to start eventually?) Do you use E10 ? (I reallllllllllllly hope you only use E5) Let us know!
