Bike engines aren't an easy swap. If you want more power, your best bet is to buy a bigger bike.

Presumably you bought a 125 because you're a learner?

There is nothing you can really do to make it any more powerful without violating the restrictions placed on you by your license. What you can do, things like exhaust and jetting, will produce minimal results, if anything.

125s are rubbish and slow, accept that, pass your test and get something better. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

Good luck with your tests! Mr. Green
