New switches are surprisingly cheap! This might help:

16 Ignition switch: location and replacement
1 On early models the ignition switch is secured to a bracketrubber-mounted to the frame top tube, underneath the frontleft-hand side of the petrol tank. If the switch is to be renewedthe tank must be removed so that the switch wires can bedisconnected; unscrew the plated retaining ring to release theswitch from its bracket. On refitting, use a hammer and a smallpunch to tighten the ring without marking it.
2 On CG125-C and E models the switch is mounted in thewarning lamp cluster, next to the speedometer. Remove theheadlamp rim and reflector unit (see Section 6), then trace anddisconnect the switch wires. Remove the headlamp shellmounting bolts and allow the shell to hang down on the wiring.Remove the two screws which secure the cluster housing to itsbracket, unplug the warning lamps and withdraw the housing.Use an electrical screwdriver or similar to disengage the clipswhich secure the switch to the housing. On refitting align theswitch with the housing and press it into position from aboveuntil the clips snap into place.
(if it's your model)

Switches are anti-tamper. The switch is attached to the top yoke. You need to remove the top yoke complete with the switch then find a way of removing the anti-tamper bolts. The bolts come with a head attached to the rest of the bolt with a thiun "neck" which they tighten until it snaps off, leaving a domed head with nothing to put a spanner on. It's to stop theives simply unbolting the lock. Almost totally impossible to remove them with the top yoke on the bike.
If you are very lucky, you'll be able to put the top yoke in a vice and tap them round with a punch, or dremmel a slot in them and use a screwdriver. Otherwise it's a case of welding a nut to them or drilling the head off. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Should be able to get aty the actual wiring coming from the switch in the back of the headlight.
Just a thought but if you're not sure about testing it (and it's not the kind of thing one ought to put up on a public forum as it's effectivelty a guide to hotwiring a bike) but are pretty convinced the switch is dodgy, you could connect the replacement and test it before taking the old one off. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

I'd expect a '96 CG125 to have been stolen at least three times in its lifetime.
It's probably why the iginition switch is ropy in the first place. Having a screwdriver hammered into them tends to do that.
You can most likely re-key the fuel tank lock so it matches the new ignition key by re-arranging the keepers in the lock itself. Plenty of how-tos out there. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

I remember having to do this on my daughters low mileage YBR125 and it was a right pain. I removed the top yoke and then ground the rounded ends of the pins with an angle grinder, then used a punch to remove the bolts. Bit of a job though! Seems like the ignition switch is the weak point on both of these bikes. ____________________ 2WHEElLover1951 |
