I've been getting a few PM questions on the Classic 125 so I thought that I would start a thread of my limited experience since I've only had the bike for a few weeks.
Assemble was pretty easy and made easier since Pitster threw in the optional center stand/ off road pegs assemble. I have center stands on my bikes/scooter. Took me about five hours or so but I was taking my time. The wiring diagram did not color match the tail/brake and rear turn signals which I had to install. Used a volt meter to figure out the wiring. No big deal.
The owner's manual is very weak since it's for some CT70 clone and doesn't mention the Classic 125 at all.
I had to remove and clean the fuel tank of bits of plastic. It holds about a gallon of fuel and has a nice billet cap.
The front disk is very strong and the rear drum seems up to the stopping task.
No word on top speed since I am doing an easy breaking. Up to about 90kms on the odometer. Will GPS it after I replace the dinky 3.10-10 tires with 120/90-10s.
Engine runs well, cold natured, choke,and is easy to start with button or kick.
Seems to have good power.
Appears to be geared low but I will wait on gearing changes until after break in and tire swap.
Added a right angle fuel filter and routed the fuel line under the carb. Still getting a little fine bits of plastic in the fuel filter. They are so tiny that the filter in the fuel valve doesn't catch them.
Added a Walmart ATV seat cover and cooler that I had laying in the shop. Just tied the cover on to try it out.
Well anyway, so far so good with the Classic 125. It will pull my 200+ lbs up my steep gravel driveway just fine. Waiting to get my tag in the mail from FL (FL resident, spend 6 months in WNC mountains) before I venture too far from home.
Oh, had to drill new holes in the license plate holder, wouldn't fit tag.
Everything is working and I am happy with it so far.
