Where about are you based? & you can find parts on eBay or some former Kymco suppliers!

Check online

That is a great looking bike!  Reminds me a lot of a Suzi Bandit - but not all bloated.  I bet that thing is absolutely a BLAST to ride.

It is quite a nice ride to be honest, mine is due its 2nd service now(which is booked in for this saturday). i the only problem i've really had is the headlight bulb blowing every 3-4 months and the large right side bolt from the handlebars to the fork has raised a few mm(will be retorqued while being service),also my brake light is constantly on but i think this is a build up of dirt or grease within the braking system(again will be sorted whilst serviced).The bike is still under warranty so hopefully don't have to dip into my pockets!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much. I see its needed a really long screwdriver, magnetic if i want to put the screws back  ;D. I love the bike, it's my 1st bike since ages! I used to ride an Honda Elite 80 scooter in 90's.

No Problem mate!

Don't quite follow exactly what you mean about the long screwdriver though.There is nothing needed to be taken off with a screwdriver. just remove the top 10ml nuts either side of the bracket,loosen the bottom two nuts either side so that you can tilt the whole headlight unit,then lift the big rubber cover,then the metal clip/harnace holding the bulb in.

Hello scorpion, i have the same bike since two weeks. I really love it. I want to ask one thing. Do you know how to remove the front mask to replace the light bulb? I do not need to do it, just wondering how to do it in case it burns.

is it the exact same model headlight... or is it the basic one? if its the same as mine then you'll see two (2) 10ml set of bolts either side of the headlight brackets. Remove the top bolts (1 each side ) and slighty loosen the bottom ones,then the whole headlight unit will tilt forward. After this you'll see a large round rubber cover,pull this off and behind this is the headlight bulb secured by a clip. just do the reverse to put everything back together again. PS... where about are you from. I'm from Birmingham,UK and my dealers charge £5.50p for a headlight bulb. It would blow roughly about every 4-5 months.It blew day before yesterday as a metter of fact,and i got fed up of paying £5.50p each time so went to a car auto shop and got a normal 12v headlight bulb.The standard bike bulb is 35w bright & 12v the car bulb is 55w & 12v also and only £2. Therefore i'd advise you to get a car headlight bulb as long as it is 12v. Hope you enjoy your experience and let me know how your getting on with your bike as there isn't much kymco pulsar 125 riders about. Good luck!

ive also seen the base model, the clocks are made of plastic and stuff, the silencer looks naff etc. all the stuff like that on mine is good solid stuff, the clocks are stainless steel.
still..........the new ones are cheap, why buy a second hand cg125 when you can have a brand new ck125???
as far as i know the new ck has a different motor to the old one.

Well everyone has their own opinion i suppose! I'm new to the bike world so for me this ticked all the boxes. This will do me until i go for my das and get the bike i REALLY want, which is a Kawasaki Ninja.

keep thinking of updating mine to one of these........but dont know if i like the styling ???

You can get the basic looking one also (not so sporty 'just different headlight style'). This is called the Kymco Pulsar Base 125..

I tell you something for nothing these Kymcos are alot stronger than what people think they are. I glad i bought this instead of the Lexmoto Kaisar XTR 125 which was my option until spotting this beauty.

glad you are ok. when I crashed my bike I was so mad .just leave me alone and ill be all right I said to my self. I love takeing care of my stuff I have its hard keeping things looking good it takes a lot of care but sometimes others just dont care. Im the typ that dont barrow or let anyone touch my things.And sometimes that get me in so much trouble. no is no why cant anyone understand that. take care of your self and good luck with your scoot. did you have insurance and if you did use it, thats why it there
 I used it and it came in handy.

You sound like mysel(LOL). Yeah i've got insurance, won't ride or drive anything without it... got a daughter and missus so not worth the risk incase of an accident!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't bother call the insurance as it was just mostly cosmetic damages. Managed to repair the o/s mirror & handlebar end. I went back to the accident scene to find the small plastic peg from my choke lever the next day, so just glued it back on with some strong superglue gel (you wouldn't even know it snapped off) 'ordered a new one though'. The only visible damage now is the scrape to the side of headlight a small scrape to the front mudguard, and a scrape to the end of the the o/s brake lever.

scorpion, your accident reminded me of what I read once that it is best to ride in automobile tire tracks and not the center of the lane when riding in the rain. The center is where oil drips are deposited by cars and is especially bad at intesections. (NOW he tells me! LOL)

What I'd like to ask though is, during your fall, was ANY part of your body UNDER the scoot. The reason I'm asking is because once I went down while braking into a downhill intersection with a little sand and gravel on the road. I locked the front wheel, fell on my right side and my right foot ended up under the engine of a 500 lb. motorcycle. I still leave the lace on my right shoe looser than the left. I bought a scooter thinking at least if something bad happens, THAT won't.

There was no part of my body under the bike. As i came off the bike went to the left (skidding about 6yrds)and i was thrown to the right (boucing and skidding like a stone being skimmed across a river.LOL)...
at least i can look back and laugh about it now.
thanking the almighty above for sparing my extended life.

Shoulda called in sick when the car failed... Glad you're OK tho!

i did. I even went to the hospital to get checked out, told just various bruising and must take some strong pain killers and that i will get some sweelling. Then got home and had to take my daughter upto the same hospital as she was having a bad reaction to the medication prescribed for her chicken pox

Damage to the bike were mostly cosmetic! Scrapes to the Headlight,front brake lever and exhaust sheild,the right handlebar end  bent and the only real damage is that the little plastic lever on the choke snapped off. So far i've fixed the handlebar end,cleaned up the marks from where it scraped and all i've glued/remoulded the plastic lever for the choke (just while i wait for a the choke to come).

Gonna save up some money and get myself a protective jacket...LOL (I learned the hard way).

Thanks for reading and hope everyone and their motor is ok.

 >:( Had a really crap day yesterday morning!! Got up to go to work as usual, it was pissing down with rain so i thought i'd drive my car. Started to drive my car to work and it broke down literally a few roads away(on the main road) from the street i live in.. Thought to myself ''F**k it gonna have to ride my bike'', so i pushed the car into a side street and locked it up and walk back home to get the bike. Got my essentials (helmet) on and got on the bike!
Started riding... got  into the town centre (about 5 miles from home) continued over the 1st and 2nd island (fine no problem.. riding normal not even speeding) going across the 3rd island...started exiting the round about, and ''CRASH, BANG, WALLOP'' i lose the back end and crash my baby with it sliding and crashing into the kerb. Whilst crashing i smack my left elbow & my right knee while my head bounces face first then my back and the back of my head second on the road, thirdly my right hand smacking the floor also...

i lay there for 15 seconds or so catching my breath back as i'm winded and in agony. Elbow, knee, back hand and both shoulders hurting like hell. (wish i had a proper bikers jacket 'with protective gear').


I tell you one thing though them Kymcos are solid.

Forgot to add...
When i managed to compose myself i investigated the area of the incident to find oil or fuel type spillage at the exit of the isalnd.

I'm well peed off!
