Very strange this one. Had to clean the carb out and stick a new tank on the bike due to rust, simple stuff. But im no good with electronics. Basically all lights work, both right indicators, neutral light, the battery is also only a couple of weeks new. Ive checked the wiring isnt loose or knackered but both left indicators wont come on.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Also, looking to sell the bike when ive sorted them out, what would a recommended price be for an 87 CG125. No rust besides very slight bits on the frame under the seat. All other paintwork/metalwork is mint.
Thanks a lot all.

hi there this might sound a bit strange but the indicator switch might not be working 100%.
and do you have any pics of the bike could do with a nother 125 for some fun

Dont have any pics at the moment, can get some for tomorrow evening (mrs lost the camera, typical)
Its strange the switch works on the right but not the left. I also noticed that when i flick it to the left, the neutral light flashes on and off :S

Have you tried swapping the bulb over to make sure they aren't blown? usually this would result in rapid flickering of the others though. As above the switch might be the cause. Squirt some WD40 into the switch to clean it out (WD40 is safe on electrics)

P.S. Pop into halfords and buy a tin of black engine laquour. Its really thick gloopy paint and covers rust no problem. It also happens to colour match just about every bike with a black frame. Apply that onto the rust areas of the frame and the frame will look like new Wink

Sounds daft but i didn't swap the bulbs as i a) havnt had time and b)thought it would be pretty coincidental that both go on the same side, but i suppose ill have to make the time and check.
Nice one for the paint suggestion, ill get me some, have the bike looking mint Smile The rust isnt even bad, its just slight surface rust, but its worth covering for a sale, so yeah, thanks.
