Hello all.
I recently purchased the said make n model to get on the road, well - as a back up mode of transport to commute if the car lets me down.
Took my CBT 13 months ago...
Been a struggle to find something affordable, viewed quite a few bikes, various manufacturers but most were knackered or doubtful for other reasons.
2015 model, 4k miles, almost mint condition, owners original receipt, previous MOT's and some service history.
After researching the make n model i checked everything i could and all was well, had a few enjoyable rides out .
Travelling down the road at 50 i started to lose power, pulled over fortunately into a lay by with the engine not running.
Fuel was ok, tried to restart but will not fire up, couldn't see any other problems so decided to have a smoke and think about recovery.
Tried again to start and fired up first time so i turned around to go home - a mile down the road the issue reoccurs - again give it 5 min and it fires up - it did nearly start after a couple of minutes after i operated choke which leads me to believe this could be carb related ?
Since then i have drained the fuel tank as that was in the tank at purchase, refilled with bp e5 petrol, took for a run and issue still appears.
My greatest fear in choosing this manufacturer was the aftermarket support, spares and documentation but didn't imagine it occurring so soon. yes i should have gone jap.
Need to carry out some work obviously to trace fault but would welcome suggestions (other than getting rid of it) - my plan was to run it for 6 months road experience and take my full bike licence before my cbt expires then sell the keeway on.
Has anyone had a keeway with this issue or any ideas regarding the problem.
My car mechanical skills are very good as are my electrical skills due to my work - and my tool collection is quite comprehensive - but without a service manual and lack of bike experience where do i start ? plug, air, fuel filter, i didn't have a plug socket to check for spark at the time of breakdown.

Does it have a rev counter? Often times (not always) if it drops spark, the rev counter will drop to zero because most of them are powered off the CDI pulses.
If the rev counter drops to zero when it conks out with the engine is still turning as you roll to a halt, it's almost certainly electrical. If it doesn't, it could still be electrical but with a much higher suspicion of it being fuel. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I have the efi version of this bike. TX125SM 2019.
"Travelling down the road at 50 i started to lose power, pulled over fortunately into a lay by with the engine not running.
Fuel was ok, tried to restart but will not fire up, couldn't see any other problems so decided to have a smoke and think about recovery. "
fuel was ok? as in, you had fuel in the tank? or what else is "fuel was ok" related to?
As you've alluded to, you're running out of fuel. It'll be float level/tap/crap in tank etc. Troubleshoot like any other bike running out of fuel when there is fuel in the tank. Its a simple bike, with a simpler engine. ____________________ Gone: Yamaha DT50lc, Suzuki DR500, Suzuki A100, Kawasaki z250ltd, RD350YPVS, Suzuki DR Big, Kawasaki AR125, Kawasaki KMX200, Suzuki GS1000S, Katana 1100, GS550M, Suzuki RGV250
