I hope it's nothing too serious.

I couldn't find anything either. I guess as it's a Kmyco with slightly different bodywork it might be hard to find what you are looking for. Kawasaki do do an official 18L console bag which goes at the front of the seat. https://www.kawasaki.co.uk/en/accessories/luggage/J300/2015?UidCat=01FFWUYNBkU9Iw&UidSubCat=0546WlhZXFhaWllYWFlYWVhcW1pZRg0GRT0j&CodeBaseInternal=0129OytbWFg&Uid_Model=0818WFBaWFBZWVtQW1haXFwLWQpYDA1QC1tfXFgLCloLUAo&Uid=05F2WlhZXFhaWllYWFlcWVxaX1tZW1BeRg0GRT0j

Good luck. But I can see you having to drill that out. If you can get some reverse drill bits. Sometimes it will come out while drilling it.

Welcome to the forum. So many bikes to ride. So little time.

Did you run a live directly to the starter then?

Have you tried contacting the company's that stocked them? https://securityforbikes.com/stockists.php

You might really need a multimeter to trouble shoot this problem. A cheap one will be good enough to give you an idea of what's going on. Screw fix do one for a tenner. https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-dc-digital-multimeter-600v/793rt

This was an interesting watch about fuel stabilizers.

If it's only 4-5 months. I would just make sure the fuel in the bike is fresh and premium. If you have a carb, I would drain the fuel out.

Welcome to the forum. It is possible to do some big trips on a 125. Lots of people do, but a full licence will give you more options.

It sounds like a great idea. Anything that saves you having to do a retest. Is making it worth the initial outlay.

Sounds just like the famous storm we had in 87. No water for two days. No electricity for nearly a week. Trees down everywhere. The aftermath was quite something to see.

Disappointing we have no video without the exhaust attached.

I'm surprised it can meet the new Euro 5+ emissions coming in next year. I thought that's when it would get the newer engine.

Welcome to the forum. Not a bad collection of bikes you have there.

Nice project. Removing the carb and cleaning it will be pretty similar to most two strokes of the time. You might be able to remove the carb by undoing the air box and feed valve block. Or you might need to remove the air box first. While you have the carb off, I would check the reeds valves too. And the rubber inlet for cracks. And definitely flush the coolant.

Thanks I'm getting there now. It just really sucks I've been pretty bad for over two months this year because of having, to make me healthier.

I've had the flu jab the this last three years. Feel a bit rough the next day usually. In January I had the shingles vaccine. Lost the use of my left arm for a week. Couldn't even raise it at all for three days. The pain was worse than when I broke my arm. I'm not joking. I then had the second shingles vaccine in September. Was a bit rough for three days. But the second day after really struggled to do anything. I had shingles a few years ago, and believe me you don't want it. Unbelievably painful. Nothing like chicken pox. Just had my covid vaccine about 6 weeks ago. Never again. It's taken me five weeks to feel even half way better. I had the highest temperature. Couldn't stand up, and passed out twice. Lost total control of my bodily functions. For over a week. I was so physically exhausted that even a month later I just slept all the time. I know I'm at risk from covid. But if I don't die of it I can't imagine it being any worse, I was that bad.

Welcome to the forum Jimbo.

The DVLA is a mine field you have to wade through it your really build a special. Someone I know built a Suzuki GSX1100 special. Imported Suzuki frame. But everything else was from different Suzuki bikes. Tank, swing arm, engine, forks, and wheels. The DVLA wouldn't let him call it a Suzuki. Even after passing the SVA test.

It is crazy. Someone owing £16,000 to the insurance company. When their bike was only valued at £6,000!

They really have over stretched themselves financially. Now it's time to face the music I'm afraid. It's not a good time either with the loss of sales because of all the reliability issues.

Looks very similar to mine. But mine has a small oblong window along one side. Only about 100mm high. My mate used old railway sleepers to make a base for his shed. At the time it was a good price. Much cheaper than slabs, and lasted well.

I have a 6X8 wooden shed made for motorcycles. It has double opening doors for ease of entry. You can fit two motorcycles in. But not loads of room for storage. I'm not keen on the metal sheds for the reason above. I could never get rid of the condensation. Especially if putting away a bike wet. My shed came with a hasp with a built in anti tamper cut guard. Which forms a hood over the padlock. It saves the lock for getting water inside. And means you can't use bolt cutters on the lock.

Sounds like a great way to spend your birthday. Have a great time.
