Remote Start

[renagades]

I ordered an alarm for a bike of the net and it says it has remote start. Does this mean theres no need to kick start or does it just mean it turns the igniton on then you still kick?

Also the cg125 i have has no ignition or key or anything, i can't even find a battery. It does however have a load of wires for the lights etc etc, will some of these be to start it?

And did this bike usually have key start? Electric start or was it just kick?

Appreciate any helpful replies in advance.

I really hope you got this bike for a bargin of a price!

1) CG has, as far as I know, always been kickstart.

2) The remote start bit activates the electric start on a bike that has one. It will not work on a bike with kickstart only.

3) No offence, but it sounds like you know very little about electrics. It is a fairly simple job, but if you are going to install the imobaliser function I would get someone that knows more about it than you to help.

Yes i know little about bikes but it was very cheap and you don't learn anything from not tinkering.

So can i still use the alarm and start etc that i ordered?

Also where will the battery be and will there be one?on this model

[renagades]

And finally the most stupid question you will hear from me tonight.

Is it just unleadded petrol that i put in?

[Rookie]

That and 2 stroke oil, every now and then. Always fully synthetic, it ranges from £8-£30 for a litre, the cheaper stuff is fine.

Did you ask why this thing has no ignition or key? It would be best to do a HPI check, it could be stolen.

Can you even get ignition/key sets?

I forgot it was a CG.

[renagades]

So i just put unleadded in it and nothing else?

And which coloured wires are for what theres a big buch off them all together been cut, can i wire ignition upto it?
Can my remote start work on it?

Is there a battery somewhere for these wires or do i need to get one?

I appreciate any help but please don't critise we all goto start somewhere.

Take the bike to a garage and ask for a service, repeat every 3,000 miles. you could also ask for them to fit your alarm.

No mate, your remote start won't ever work on a bike that only has kickstart. Remote start can turn apply electricity to the starter button, it can not manually pull the kickstart down and start it for you that way.

Take off some panels if you have any to find the battery (if indeed it has one, beats me, try and find a workshop manual or google it)

What year of CG?????

You have to be specific.

[renagades]

I can't be specific because the numbers that i need to get to find out what year it is have been painted over.

[renagades]

Is it possible to add electric start so that i could use the remote start.
If so how much would it be to add it.

[instigator]

[renagades]

The numbers are scatched plus the bike was 80 quid

[renagades]

So how much would it be to add electric start?

This thing was so nicked. Do an HPI check, ASAP.

Well there's no key or ignition barrel, the plate has been scratched out, it paints a picture doesn't it? By the sounds of it you want to make it road legal. If it is stolen and you ride it on roads, you'll be arrested in about 8 seconds flat.

The CG is a good little bike to cut your teeth on, especially for a learning home mechanic. First things first though, you need a decent workshop manual. Haynes or Clymer should do the thing you're after.

It will have a battery, it should be under the left hand side panel. The wires coming up into the headlamp are a veritable bird's nest, worse on an old CG. There should be some wires in there for the ignition. You can buy new ignition keyhole/ switch thingywotsits, try https://www.wemoto.com or https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk. There are plenty of other online suppliers of spares, including Ebay, but try not to get carried away with anything other than getting the machine roadworthy and safe to ride to start with.

You will need semi-decent tools too, and if fiddling with wiring, read Stinkwheels thread on electrical connectors first: https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=39666&highlight=connector.

Good luck.
