Hey there,
Im kinda new to these forums so bare with me. First of all, I recently got a 125cc dirtbike from a place called Redback Imports in thomastown,victoria. I was trusting in this shop to provide me with decent quality bikes that wernt going to break down every 5 seconds. My friend had bought a bike from there and had it for one year. Only problems he ever had was the gear stick snapped, accelerator cable snapped. So assuming my bike would have no problems for a couple of weeks I bought the bike on christmas eve road it around for about 2 hours. I was very happy it was running great. I took it down to the park kept riding.. anyway about 2 days later my friend and myself went up to ararat (bout a three hour drive) to a block of land in which we could ride our bikes from morning to dawn. I got on my bike road it around for about 2 hours. The bike started sputtering then it died. I tried to electric start it and smelt this burning coming from the back of the bike. I stopped look at the bike all the wires had burnt out. Anyway the bike cost me originally 850. So I had to spend 3 days in ararat with a bike that wouldnt move. We took it to a place called Epping Bikes. They assessed the bike and found what the problem was. The CDI had blown and needed to be replaced. So i further spent 130 replacing the cdi and the labour involved. Ok I was really excited because we were going to take it away again to a place called avoca where my grandparents own a massive block of land. We get up there took about 2 hours to get there when we got there me and my mate aiden started riding around for about 2 hours. We are riding down about a 300m straight. Im in fourth with the throttle pulled back to the max going as fast as possible the bike starts making this sputteirng.. Im in fourth and the bike just went FRRRRRRRRrrRrrrrrrr...r... and cut out. I spent about half an hour standing there trying to kick start it.. It just wouldnt start we got a mechanic over who didnt have a clue what was wrong with it so we took the bike back to melbourne. My friends dad knows alot about motorbikes and started testing some of the parts. He tested the spark plug, carby, compression fuel, cdi, wiring, magneto.. everything he knew how to test. Everything was fine. We went and got a new carby in hope that that would be it. We put it on and gave it a few kicks. Still wouldnt go!!! to this day about a month later the bike still hasnt been fixed.. I really dont have enough money to take it back to epping bikes.. If any of you have any ideas what the problem is please hlep!!
