Nice job on the mods, looking forward to the green CT 125 getting here in the States. One thing I really think would be great would be the return of the duel range transmission, they sure were nice on my old CT 90s. Happy motorbiking.
that kick starter used to annoy me big time but I just took it off and keep it in the box on the back , its quite easy to clutch start these bikes but I still have it in box if needed . I like that gear indicator , did you put it on or do the the 2023 bikes have it now.
I did consider removing the kick start, but seems ok in the relocated place. Good to know about bump/clutch start. I put the gear indicator on myself. Readily available in Thailand!!!
I feel like I need to let you know, that the big box you installed on the back of her bike, might lead to her having an accident if you ride in the mountain terrain with those somewhat steep cement narrow roads. I say this because I have a UA-cam channel: Lazy Dog Productions: that our little group of riders called CT Riders of Chiang Mai post most of our rides on. If you go to my channel and watch the last two videos, you'll see what I mean by "having an accident" The lady in our group and her husband both "had" those boxes on the back of their CT's and she flipped hers over backward on a trip we made to do merit for a village in the mountains. I really think you should watch those two videos and see what happened and what we eventually did to make sure it doesn't happen again. Have a safe day on your next ride.......
Yeah mines the same colour. The heal shift might be useful if changing down is restricted, on a trail, in any way and you can't get your boot under the front shifter.....I do use my toe a lot more than the heal!!!!
How do you like that V1 Diablo seat. Is it lower than stock. A lot more cushy ? I'm 6' but don't want to sit lower just looking more cushy comfirt. Enjoying your wonderful content. Cheers
This is my GF bike, she is less than 5 foot tall. I still have the original seat on mine. I rode hers for a while and it is like a wooden plank.....Extra comfort is a big Nooooooooo.
@@davexs oh my thanks for th4 feedback on that Diablo. Haha you saved me 100$. Unfortunately looks like don’t have many options yet for a comfy seat upgrade. Let’s hope a US company takes advantage. Cheers
I live in Thailand where these bikes and monkeys are very popular. There is a raft of spares available here. No help to you I know, but you could try a company called WeBike. I think they are Japanese and eliver world wide. I bought mine for about 20 quid on a Thai site called Lazada. The guy I bought it from has no more available, but there are plenty of other. I'll have a search see if I can find a link of some sort.

Very nice. I have one on order in the USA. I'm second in line. Not expected until at least August however. It took a while but the green is winning me over. Looking forward to seeing it in person of course
@@davexs actually the dealer said not before August. I think because these are so popular they are dumping them in the winter months, whenever that may be around the world. The good thing is I'm not in a rush because I bought a Grom about a year ago from the same dealer. That's been fun and helps ease my suffering while I wait 🥴
Hi Sture, I bought this in Thailand on a site called Shopee, they are plug and play. I did find a video a while ago on fitting. I'll see if I can find it again and copy and paste to you.......Laters
This guys talking Thai but you can see what he does to fit the gear indicator. Fast forward is useful watching this video...haha. Like I say it's plug and play....
Thanks for the tour Dave. I hear out of London some riders are finding it hard to get work done on their bikes because of a labour shortage.
Labour shortage or can't be bothered to work?
Nice job on the mods, looking forward to the green CT 125 getting here in the States. One thing I really think would be great would be the return of the duel range transmission, they sure were nice on my old CT 90s. Happy motorbiking.
Hi James, Yeah the dual range was great, but I'm still very happy and the bike copes with most things I do with it. Rubber side down....

Dave thanks for the video, do you have a link for the top box please. It looks like a good intermediate size for the bike.
Not sure this the exact box I bought, there are a lot on this sight. Mine is 42litre.

Good-looking motor. Is yours the same colour, Dave? The heel shift is something I can't get on with on Waves.

The box is a Givi trekker 42 right?
No, it's a Chinese knock-off. 42L yes. God quality
@@davexs same size as the Trekker 42 then. Gives me an idea what my Trekker 42 will look like on my CT125 when ever I get mine 😊👍
@@thepab3072 Yes, I think the 42 is about the right size for the CT
Loving the gear indicator...What is it and where is it from...Cheers Dean

Check your tyre rotation direction.
Always do, thanks
Are they made there Dave like some honda's?
I think they are put together here under licence with Japan. But not totally sure on that one....
gear indicator, where did you buy it? And what was the price? I have bought my Ct 125 in Thailand. Can it work on these?
