Not much you can do that would be worth the money.

Easiest and cheapest option is probably to sell it and get a 2 stroke, if you're stuck at 125 for the moment.

What sort of 'accessories' do you want?

It's not restricted, so can't be derstricted.

Again, would be a significant waste of money 'mordernising' it. Just ride it for it is, enjoy what you've got and start thinking about your test maybe Smile.

The main features of a CG125 are its cheapness and frugality. Throwing money at it can't really improve it and definately isn't worth it. The best thing you can do with it is maintain it properly and reliably. Don't crash it and you should be able to sell it for what you paid for it, assuming that it is a cheap one.

Simple. Dont bother. Not being nasty but there is little you can do if any. Removing the filter makes it run worse, and you cant get an aftermarket exhaust upgrade. Keep it as above in good nick and enjoy riding. If you want a faster bike get a bigger cc one Wink

/\ NOT TRUE you can get a sports exhaust for a cg also a big bore kit and a larger carb the exhaust is made by a company called kailin (not sure on spellin) the exhaust looks exactly like standard but it can be stripped and rebuilt its also made of stainless steel so no rust either the big bore kits are made for the honda unicorn i think which is basically a taiwan stylee 150cc cg wich you can get a 240cc bore kit for but you have to import it anyway this is more just me being a pedantic b*st*rd rather than practical implication you may possibly be able to get more performance with a k&n filter, scafold pipe exhaust (straight through) and a rejet
