Got a couple of niggly problems with my CG125. Any advice/pointers much appreciated.

While manhandling the bike into a tight spot, it tipped over and fell on its side. Some fluid came out but I couldn't pinpoint the source. Is it fuel? or engine oil? Smelt like fuel to me but the tank cover is tight.

I've been checking my engine oil level fairly regularly over the last 6 months but have not noticed any drop in levels. Does the CG125 not consume much engine oil? I have read that some bikes use a lot of engine oil.

The front disc brakes (2005 model) shudders somewhat when braking. It is not destabilising and the brakes do work. Is this shuddering a normal aspect of disc brakes? It doesn't happen with the rear drum brakes.

the liquids would have been petrol comeing out of the carb overflow. perfectly normal

a cg 125 will use a small bit of oil. but i mean small. as do most single cylinder 4 strokes.

and the brake disk is probabily warped quite common.
