My original seat got a gash in it. My mechanic replaced it with brand new seat (not just the cover) for under 25,000.

Well, first close call of the riding season for me today! Had a taxi run a red light and almost take me out. On the plus side, I pulled my first stoppie of the season as well Smile

Can someone please inform me about my battery? Ive been having to kick start it lately to get it going. Does that mean the battery is almost dead? Can I get it recharged or do I have to get a new one? Any idea how much a new one cost for my 125cc?



I bought a new battery for my scooter and it was starting just fine but 2 days later im having the same problem. It takes a few tries to get it started sometimes around 5 mins and when I come to a complete stop if sometimes dies out on me. Anyone know what it could be? Its a KTMX or something scooter.


anyone?

That doesn't sound like your battery is at fault. Take your bike in and have them check to see if the battery is getting charged while the bike is running.....

It could be several things i think. Do you ride it every day or does it sit for awhile. I guess have the rectifier checked out and maybe check on your spark plugs.

I use it everyday. It's an 08 with only 2100 kms on it. I take it in but it's hard to get them to figure It out. They always tell me kenchana kenchana. I'll try another shop

that video is awesome!

can anybody tell me that DIRT BIKE RIDING like that doesn't look like fun??? not to mention the skin at the beginning ....

and, be careful running those reds, it's hard to compete with Koreans for craziness at intersections! I always think I'm absolutely wacked and then this dude comes from outta nowhere ...

(3) I'm going to CA in August, will post news from the KDMV about getting my endorsement in CA while there .... if I can find a bike to take the test on ...

Where in Seoul can u get your bike modded without paying an arm and a leg?

I see a lot of chopped bikes for sale, like daystars and GV250s without tails, so someone out there must be doing it...

Thanx.

Thats a bit much. I have a 2001 mirage as well and granted its fun to ride and a great bike, 1 million is a bit much. I paid about 700K won for mine.

Don't worry about parts. You can get pretty much any part so super cheap since its Korea bike. If you buy it make sure to check it out first. I didn't and I paid for it. Rookie mistake on my part.
