I need some help identifying what parts I need to buy as my keeway tx125 2019 (WD19 BPE) was stolen and hot wired and they cut the connector.
I have attached a photo to help identify.

Thanks in advance

You could just connect the wires and wrap then with electrical tape to see if the bike works but.yes, suitable connectors are preferable.

Buy some chocolate block connectors.from your local DIY place or use crimped connectors.

How would I connect that to the metal prongs? As I think they cut the connector for it when I touched the cables to the prongs it started the bike then cut off when I stopped it.

As this is a cheap Chinese bike you don't need to do anything fancy. Get some of these:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284386654410

and buy/borrow a crimp tool. Cut off and replace the old plug, put a socket on the dangling wires and remember to match up the colours.

Woah , thats getting a bit complicated isn't it. What about some simple crimping pliers : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185078567914 and a few crimp connectors , order 2 pairs of red ones - only £1.59 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264495178129 cut the old connectors off and put the connectors on so they join the wires like the green and black ones in the picture. Layout a fiver and you get a tool to keep....

That is so bodge though, at least the ones linked are presumably waterproof, unlikely to come undone etc. Just looks nicer than some bullets.

Lay out a fiver and a tool to throw in the bin after use when you realise just how shit it is.

Was gonna say this but the fact there's a plug there in the first place assumes it may need to be disconnected at some stage? I'd go with the waterproof plugs that Easy-X linked or something similar. If you're not confident to do it yourself any decent bike or car garage would do it for you for a minimal charge. Crimp connectors and chocolate blocks will oxidize and corrode after only one or two winters and you'll start to lose conductivity and have starting problems.

Those are, IMHO, wank, and not worth even half the asking when you can have these for £11:

I need to redo the Cagiva because of sodding bullet connectors.

Crimps are better where there's movement and flex. Soldering is good where there's no movement. Thumbs Up

There are bullet connectors and bullet connectors. I use the ones that have glue lined heat shrink sleeves - they're pretty weatherproof and reliable. Thumbs Up
