Hello. I just bought a 1993 cg125 last week after passing CBT on 12th. its done 45,200 miles but mostly seems to work. some of the switches or wiring are bad, im going to look at that tomorrow...

I was going to get a bike last year, but failed my first cbt...

Pic of bike attached.. its also struggling to get upto 55. I need to do valve clearances/ oil and filters... as its quite noisy.



Would anyone have a haynes manual for it? or pdf version...

thanks
Mark

Hey and welcome. Good choice on the bike. It's common, cheap, And therefore the best for learners.

The haynes manual in that link is pretty good. I had a very enjoyable day a couple of months back doing what you need to do (oil, filters, electrics). Very easy to get to grips with and also gives you a better idea of how your bike works.

Hello and welcome! That looks pretty damn clean for a nearly 20 year old bike with 43k miles on it! Thumbs Up
