evilclive Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 have you taken out the gasket/washer that is between the exhaust manifold and head that will add a few more bhp used to do that after my bike was in for it MOT when i had my CBT I thought they only had those washers on the 125 two strokes or the bigger bikes that are kept under the 33bhp limit? I'm fairly sure that even a healthy cg125 won't make enough power to warrant having a restricting washer in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naon-deano Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 There has been a few time when I thought a car would be handy. There few and far between. Internet shopping helps alot with the big stuff and a g/f who drives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a higher insurance group than cars such as clio's, corsa's, and fiesta's. So really, if he's worrying about costs of driving, then this isn't a great alternative lol.

evoboy Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Ive also not bothered doing my car test. (even got a mk2 golf given to me!) Rode a 50cc at 16, a 125cc at 17/18, then did my bike test at 18 ( allbeit restricted to 33bhp). Im 19, with 3yrs no claims, on a TPFT policy with breakdown and legal cover and it costs me £400 a year for 2 bikes. (Kwak ZX6R and a Suzuki GT250) The golf would of cost me £1500 to insure.... Only reason id get a car licence, is so i could do my LGV/HGV licence for a job. Edited January 22, 2010 by evoboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Caveman Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 4 stroke 125's ARE NOT restricted in any way, despite what people tell you. They are designed and built to comply with legislation around learner riders (ie, designed not to output more than 14.6hp, but most 4t's put out around 12hp). Despite what people tell you, you can't de-restrict them. Replacing the exhaust may release a pony or 2 as the standard ones are restrictive (newer ones having a cat) but the difference will be minimal and not worth the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
