    Spark Arrester

    I have to laugh at all these threads to modify these little bikes, keep in mind people its just a 125 cc. I get the tinker/fun factor, but to make it "better or stronger", lol. Maybe look into a bigger bike aka 250..........wait, they'll mod that too.......never mind

    Luggage Rack Bar Behind Seat... Ouch!

    Cut the bar off and relocate it to the rear side of the cargo tray, really helps to secure a load too. Keep in mind, Asian people fit these bikes better than we do.

    Storage boxes

    Hi Brian, I do not have any noises or vibrations at all. It may be the handles, latches, etc., and while using the two boxes together, it's primarily on paved roads only along with a ratcheting tie down strap (do not trust the red plastic latches) over the top and lightly tightened down. My...

    Luggage Rack Bar Behind Seat... Ouch!

    I'm cutting mine off and then welding it back on to the rear of the rack, I will need it to hold my gear, once its welded I'm sending off the the local Line X dealer to have it sprayed in red.

    Flashing ABS light

    Good luck, this is with any manufacture, too many shadetree mechanics out there playing mechanic with their internet associates degree. And when they can't figure it out, they take it in screaming warranty. I've seen it for years. Some dealers will file a "Goodwill" policy and cover it, but most...

    Flashing ABS light

    A glowing ABS light typically indicates insufficient voltage signal, a flashing ABS light (in your case) is telling you there is a problem. If your bike is still covered by the warranty, take it in. If they see you've been "working" on it, they have the option to deny warranty coverage.

    Trail 125 or XR150L

    What the CT-125 has going for itself is the nostalgia, it follows the CT-90's and 110's, those that can remember those bikes and their history are the 125's strong points. Simple, proven and an eye catcher, some dig it and some don't.

    Trail 125 or XR150L

    I believe the "EPA Certified for off road use" means it is spark arrestor equipt as far as USDA is concerned, allowing use on forest trails where applicable,... farm and agricultural use is "on farm, private land".

    Trail 125 or XR150L

    In my opinion, the selling point for me was the off road capability and the auto clutch. For what this bike can do and the generous tail rack, it makes for a perfect pack mule in the woods. And with a good set of knobby tires, it will go where the XR150 will, only easier.

    Charging cables

    Exactly this, accidents can happen. Its why I advised a fuse in the beginning.

    Charging cables

    If your added cables go directly to the battery, then a fuse is a must. If the positive wire were to ever make contact to the negative circuit (wire or chassis) it will not end well. So to answer your question...yes, add a fuse.

    Cold crank

    LOL, I can truly say "I heard about this on the internet"

    Cold crank

    Simple, no internal moving parts and is intentionally designed to radiate heat.

    Cold crank

    Not saying it will kill your motor, but it will also not be good for it. Bikes that sit in traffic and get hot eventually begin to move forward and this is the moment of heat extraction vs an engine running motionless and then shut off, hot spots will remain longer and will not be drawn to the...

    Cold crank

    Subzero weather is cold too, but you need a fan to dissipate the heat, radiating off the cooling fins does nothing by itself, it needs to be extracted or drawn from the fins. Hot or cold ambient temps mean nothing to an air cooled engine, its the breeze that draws the heat away.
