Hi. I brought a chinese bike called a p.o.r apache 125 (basically a cb125 on a enduro frame). It has ticket & tax but the last owner compleatly ruined it. He lost the key and tried to horwire it, then burnt out some of the system. I assume somebody helped him ad it started when i brought it. But... It diddnt start when i got it home! I looked under the tank and found the loom taped together with parcel tape. Theres a electric start that didnt work to begin with. I got it for my boy for his 14th next week and just want it to use as a field bike to learn to ride. Can anybody help or advise on getting rid or the loom (as no light work anyway) and geeping the very basic for it to run. It hasnt got a battery nor did it when i brought it. But it still run on the day. All i want to keep on the bike is the kill switch. hete is a pic of my nightmare.

Take it to an auto electrician...

What u are describing is typical of a faulty ignition system, but could also be a fuel problem. I check by removing the aircleaner and rotating the throttle. If u see a nice spray of fuel, thats probably not the problem. Check for a spark at the plugs. I can explain how if you need me to. If you cant see a good spark, U have an electrical problem. I had a crank position sensor go bad on me. Dont do what I did (replaced the battery, ignition, and regulator as part of my diagnosis procedure)

sounds as if you have an issue with the charging system, try using a volt meter to determine if the bike is charging. To do so you will need to access the battery under the seat, with the bike running hook up the volt meter to the battery terminals, at idle you should have around 11volts when reving you should have around 13volts. If not you may have a bad stator or other electrical issues. good luck

Try to jump start the bike, 2nd gear down hill key on and let the clutch out... If it starts you have a starter problem, could be the brushes.. good luck...
