unfortunatly there isnt a lot available over here for them and the exhausts are quite expensive, lights and what not can be found on any of the usual motorbike sites.
ill see if i can chase up some links for exhausts for ya
here is an remus system 299 euro

that would be overly helpful if you could Smile

so you think that motrax/demontweeks those sorts of companies would be good for indicators and stuff they will be compatible with my bike as they are universal i am hoping Very Happy

Thumbs Up Mr. Green

yeah any of those places you'll get indicators, basically any will fit, don't get led ones though as you'll have to change your turn signal relay aswell

My advice: Don't bother. Save your £200 towards your bike lessons/test and get a better bike.

If you want the sound of a loud exhaust, my 2 cents is lop off the lid of your airbox! It'll sound rate lound and bog down, but it's cheaper than sticking an aftermarket zorst, which doesn't necessarily make more power, nor does it necessarily mean just because it's a 125, you'll get a can for cheaper. Live with the bike, run it on neglect and sell Thumbs Up Wink , it's what i did! Razz

You wouldn't know mine was only washed about 5 times in a year and a half, it's nearly immaculate apart from a bit of rust on the downpipe at the front (not surprising considering how exposed it is!). Currently in negotiations for selling it!

Mr. Green

Mechanically it's always been maintained (usually by my Dad), I just couldn't be arsed washing it all the time Razz . The few times I did wash it it was filthy by the next day so I just decided not to bother mostly. It really is in good condition though, just a little rust on the downpipe at the front as I said.. and that's a common thing.

Got my XR from a local Suzuki/Kawasaki dealer. The guy who owns the shop knows my dad and he got it in a part-ex from some old guy who used it just to pass his test, let him know and we had it within a couple of days. He also knocked £100 off it.

A bigger engine? Very Happy

I have an XR125 and it's great but I do wish there was a little more top end in mph.

agreed mate.

the top end is just not there at all really is it Laughing Crying or Very sad

in my opinion with a little more top end the engine would be a top quality one, i dont know if its just me but through the bottom end its alot faster than i thought it would be!

hmmm i dont believe there is much opportunity for tuning and bigger bores would be silly!

Well then G, you probably wouldn't know about the time me and Smoto went off roading and i err fell off on an embankment on my XR then Laughing And i dropped it in a big puddle and thought i flooded the engine!

It was a fun bike for wheelies and stoppies. It more than made up for not having mph!

yeahh like a two stroke accept as reliable as a 4 stroke that would be nice Rolling Eyes Wink

a sixth gear well my left foot thinks i already have one Rolling Eyes Twisted Evil

shall be trying to wheelie it then since it is good for wheelies not yet tho i rather like it as it is Mr. Green Thumbs Up

fyi it cost less to fit a 173cc big bore kit than a clip on exhaust!

From an environment point of view you should have bought second hand - and a second hand two stroke would have left you loads of money to pay people to maintain and your bike and feed it with oil Wink.

I didn't get it new, I've had it somewhere between 1.5 to 2 years. Selling for £1195 O.N.O.

Never went off-road with mine. It's not really focussed enough in my opinion, it's a road bike at heart; trying to look like an off-roader Wink .
