Bought a GS125...

Bought one of these last weekend for the gf.

It appears to have tubed tyres - any idea if it can have tubeless tyres? I would expect so on cast wheels but unsure.

Anything to watch out for on these? It's on 23k miles I think. I quite enjoy riding it...

Great wee bikes, 80 mpg Very Happy

I had a 20 years old 1 for 4 years, covered 8k (40+k on clocks when sold) and it was mostly reliable, headlight bulbs blowing aside, quite simple to work on. Fuel tap seized but replacements are cheap, to be fair to the bike it was thrashed and neglected but still kept going. I was fed up of the headlight issue and sold it but now am considering a GN125 as I am fed up with the Er6 that I got to replace the GS. Surprised

Can't quite explain it but smaller bikes seem to be much more appealing now.

Well you don't have to worry about speeding... that's always good when you have one speed on the road like me Laughing

I got well over 100mpg on mine.

Solid bikes. Thumbs Up

Pretty sure you can't use tubeless tyres though. Nothing wrong with tubed though.

That's a snazzy exhaust Mr. Green

That engine is still being used in many Chinese bikes if you need parts.

I've read that old alloy wheels go porous, so either seal them or fit inner tubes.
