Hey all, newbie on here and to biking, got myself a Keeway 125 superlight recently, had it about 7-8weeks, it's no a bad wee bike really, 1st week the right hand mirror fell off...now got bar end mirrors as the stock ones were crap anyway, can now see stuff behind me instead of my whole arms and a smidge of rear sight.
Added different bars and removed the rear pegs as I'm never gonna pull 2 ppl on it lol.
Done over 1000kms so far, gave it an oil change t'other day, stuff that came out was filthy, as per advice on other threads I gave it some 10/40 and it seems to be ok.
Looking to upgrade a couple of parts until I do my das though, looking at a different carb, rear sprocket, air filter and exhuast mod, any advice on the carbs would be helpful ie, which type might be best to up the jets or could I do it with the current carb as it's a generic Chinese one and a bit unsure as to what's already in it.
Thanks in advance. 😀 ____________________ Keeway superlight 125. |

I was forever meddling with my 125. Here's my verdict.
Removing the catalytic converters from the exhaust and increasing the main jet from 90 to 95 may - may - have unlocked a tiny bit more power. I might have got another couple of mph out of it on the flat. Or I might have imagined it.
Increasing the front sprocket from 15 to 16 and then 17 teeth dropped the revs required to hold any given speed and made it more relaxed to ride when not at its top speed. It didn't increase the top speed, since like all 4T 125s it was limited by peak power, not revs. It made 5th essentially useless for top speed.
Replacing the airbox with a cone filter made it louder but no faster. It made it harder to start, and it hesitated when rolling on. Restoring the stock airbox helped.
Nothing else made the slightest difference, or it made it worse. I cut-and-shut the cats out of the exhausts as a porject, not as a real performance enhancement.
Leaving everything as stock and getting yourself a licence and a bigger bike is the most cost effective performance enhancement you can do. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
