I'm wondering if it's time to clean my chain. I've cleaned it 3000km ago, and lubed it about 600km ago. I recently went on a day trip, and do to poor navigational planning, hit a few gravel roads. Google produces various answers as to how often cleaning (specifically) is required. TIA...

That's still pretty good for a 125. And still not a Low Speed Motorcycle. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Not to hijack the thread, but is that true? My GZ250 topped out at 110kmph. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

I wonder if a battery is required and needs a charge because the bike has a digital transistorized ignition system?

I guess my bike needs a charge on the battery to keep running. I'm surprised since it's pretty basic. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Finally got around to replacing the battery and my findings are as follows: New battery before install 12.94 volts (as it should be. Bike started ok, and after a bit of warm-up time the voltage while the bike was running got up to 14.10 volts. I wasn't able to ride it around and test it...

Also by the same author "Backroads of Ontario". Some great twisties and scenic views in the book. And the focus is the route itself, and not necessarily specific destinations. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

$160/both at Royal Distributing. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Link is dead. Royal Distributing has a no name set (pair) for less than $200 I think. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Learned something new: not to boost from a running car. However in this circumstance, it wouldn't start otherwise. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

When I took it off the tender, the standing voltage was 9.37V. That wouldn't start it so I hooked up my battery pack and I still couldn't get it going, so I had to boost from my running car. While the bike was running (idle), the voltage was jumping around from 3.88-6.93 volts. Applying...

Will do thank you. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the Intel. I will follow these instructions the next time I'm with the bike (stored at my folks' for now), maybe tomorrow. That is, IF it will even start. Its on a tender now on trickle. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Tender on the battery over the winter yes. Between rides during the season no. Have a multi meter and will check. Is it like a car battery where if it shouldn't be below 11V at rest and should be about 13.6 V while the engine is running? I swapped the bulb out when I first bought the bike...
