Added two more and cost zilch as in "They have some smoke damage. Come get them or we will scrap 'em!" A 2013 ST-125 with 12 miles and the other a 2011 retro 150cc with .4 miles. Just couldn't pass them up so have already started my own PDI on them. Enjoy! Will most likely be posting some questions.   |

A Sky Team 125 completed a 2014 San Francisco to New York cross-country using standard 10-40 Pennzoil.
"CT70 seems to be shifting hard, and it even jumped out of 2 gear once".
Eventually failed on the 2015 return cross-country.
"it developed a knock going over beartooth
we checked the valves and camchain in Cooke (no internet)
He rode it all through yellowstone and grand tetons and it quit making enough power to continue right at the grand teton exit gate."

Update on the ST125. Pulled the carb and cleaned it (wasn't too bad). Fresh gas, had to kick start, but runs. Will put a charge on the battery tonight. Moving on to the 150 to see if I have fire.... Was a good day!

Update on the 150- The 150 gave me a few fits this morning, but is now hauling my butt around. 1)Battery charged. 2) New fuel and vac lines. 3)No start (missed a vac line hook-up. 4) Tried to start finally. Dug in pulled the carb, cleanded jets and back together. 5) Fired/ran/purred on third crank. The bad- Trying to clean the melted protective wrap off everything is a very slow process. Need to shop for a new speedo gauge and fuel gauge. Got hot enough in the fire that the needles warped (must be very thin) and are hanging up on the inside of the glass. Also wondering just how difficult to title them just having the cert of origins for them. Read more: itistheride.boards.net/thread/9379/score-update-on-2#ixzz47jCSA77o |

I love the little 125. Is that a manual or cvt?

I really like it also. Feels very firm on the streets. Problem is trying to figure how to adjust the clutch, etc. and appears (at least to me) that gears are very close. It is wicked tight, unlike my CT70H Honda (of course it is a 1971). Any help on the 125 would be most appreciated. I love the little 125. Is that a manual or cvt? |

The ST125 is a manual 4-speed. I finally figured out that the clutch cable nut had backed out. Put it back where it was supposed to be and all is good. That thing is a screamer!

I'm just sayin ---- but the "retro" looks an awful lot like my scooter, a BMS Heritage. Parts easily available from BMS.
And if that's the case, Dan Martin discovered it's a Znen - better engine than others that come out of "The Land With That Already Has A Nice Wall 3,000 Miles Long".
