Try giving the battery a charge with an Optimate or similar.I had this problem amd doing this cured it.Alternatively, ditch the crappy OEM battery for a good quality replacement.

I've now converted the grab rails on my Quinqi to accept a Givi topbox, see this post in the Modifications section.

Well folks, I've been at it again! Encouraged by my successes with the carb mod and headlamp/flyscreen project,yesterday I decided to attempt something I'd been thinking of for a while.As you all...

I was just looking around my garage for something black, plastic and screen shaped - the mudguard fitted the bill!
Parts used for the project were:
Aftermarket fibreglass SV650 mudguard with...

Well, in what has turned out to be another resounding success, I have replaced the enduro light with a traditional round light with an attached flyscreen. I am very happy as I came up with the idea...

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I replaced the enduro headlight with a round light, and a flyscreen which I made out of an SV650 front fender. I mounted it up with brackets which i made out of a spare lower...

I know what you mean about the headlight on dipped, in fact I reached that same conclusion yesterday and on my ride home used full beam. It didn't seem to blind anyone (on my VFR doing that...

Yeah as well as the Hi viz I also do the bar waggle and move around on the road to trigger movement detection. Funny you mention the cop impersonation thing - on my silver VFR, with my balck jacket...

Good point Crazy Carl, that is something I always do anyway though.I wear a very bright Respro Yellow and Orange Hi Viz vest over my jacket whenever I'm riding.Its highly visible (not surprisingly!)...

Forchetto, you disappoint me, I never had you pegged as a 'form over function' man:rolleyes1:
I believe there are two types of bikers when it comes to top boxes:
1) Those who have top boxes
2)...

Good point about status - that's why I reckon a round headlamp might be a good idea.I have a new chrome one in my garage that was for an abandoned cafe racer project, so if I put that on, combined...

I've tried the road rage approach and whilst temporarily satisfying, it deosn't prevent the incidents happening in the first place, and the red mist makes my ride more dangerous after the event!Plus,...

Hi everyone, I ride a RMR125 SM, and was wondering if anyone els has been suffering 'invisible bike syndrome'?.
Basically, I also ride a VFR800, and when I'm on that, people hardly ever pull out on...

Yeah, 40mph is definitely about as fast as I'd want to go on dirt,and to be fair it wasn't extreme terrain, just gentle singletrack. In fact , any speed off road is fun! I should've known I'd like it...

On a whim last weekend, I took the bike on some gentle local dirt tracks, and was struck by three things:
1) How much fun 40mph off road is !
2) That the geometry, power,suspension and weight of...

Here is a pic of the bike now, the side view shows the bigger carb in place. I have also put up a pic of the cockpit which has been improved by Renthal bars, mirror extenders and a cable tie holding...

Hi Guys
Yeah it does seem that the CV carb setup is big improvement over stock, although to be fair I haven't ridden a standard 125 in stock trim. However, all the reviews I have read describe it as...

Hi Everyone, I have a Superbyke RMR 125, which is a variant of the Qingqi QM125. I have made a number of upgrades to it which have much improved it, so I though I would share......
Firstly, I...

To reply to your post Ed, I have blanked off the air filter hole as it's placed downstream of the filter element and any air and dirt that gets in there goes straight to the engine unfiltered. Just...

Hi Forchetto,
I've read your intro post and found it very interesting and informative.I just wanted to ask a few things about the airbox and carb.
Firstly, like you I've blanked off the emmisions...

Well, I've posted a few questions so I suppose I should introduce myself! I'm in the UK and been riding for about 12 years. Bikes are my main form of transport so I commute every day. My main bike...

Hi CrazyCarl,

Yes I am finding out that there is a lot of trial and error involved!And beginning to wish I'd never started messing with it..........! I'm using a closed spanner for the locknut and...

Thanks ChinaV! I hadn't thought of that -I have been relying on the timing mark which was spot on. So if I use a screwdriver down the spark plug hole method, I rotate the engine and then when the...

Hi everyone, I am in the UK aand have recently bought a second hand QingQi 200Gy (Superbyke RMR200) with 300Km on th clock for £1000. That was 2 weeks ago and I love it - I have since put another...
