    Reserve capacity Ace125. (not in owners manual.)

    Been wondering since buying my Ace125 what the reserve capacity is in the fuel tank and fuel range of the bike. This hasn't been helped by the lack of a trip meter (pity!) and I tend to fill the Ace via a fuel drum- not measured. Was going to the petrol station with the girlfriend on her bike...

    Anyone had gearbox failure?

    My Ace has never had a particularly nice gear action, but now, at less than two months old and 1300km on the clock it is getting stuck in either 2nd or 3rd at intersections. I have to take off in these gears which is a challenge, then once moving the bike can be shifted back down. Had a good...

    Fuel economy

    My Ace seems to get just over 200km to a tank on the highway. (not sure- bit hard without a trip meter) I did 180km last night and it was close to empty. It does work hard- I'm currently 142kg and a ride on the highway is flat the whole time. It now can sit on 95/100km/h but slows to 80 on...

    Rear axle size?

    I have a 2015 bike that requires a new rear wheel. My axle is 15mm in diameter but the received wheel seems to need a 12mm one. What size axle does your bike have? Might be important if you need a new rear wheel. :(

    Slotted barrel?

    Installed big bore kit this week. Original 125cc barrel had a slot cut in the bottom but the replacement did not. I wonder if it is for some splash lubrication? Anyone else notice this? Mine is a 2015 model. I notice people here who have done the conversion and posted pics don't have the slot...

    Longer pushrods for big bore????

    Just installed big bore kit. When assembled the valve clearance approached 5mm (!) It was easily adjusted into spec, BUT the face of the adjuster where it hits the valve is far less parallel to the valve end than it was. Has anyone had the same issue and did anyone consider longer pushrods to...

    First week of ownership and setup so far.

    Had my Ace a week today, and have done some mods so far. Really crappy performance out of the box, which might make them a bit hard to sell for dealers...At least they are an attractive beast. I have never owned a bike that creates so much attention before (I own 15 bikes currently) and am...

    Soon to be Ace owner

    Hi. Just ordered a new Skyteam Ace 125 from a dealer. Still in transit from importer so should have it in the next few days. Got a few bikes but this one is by far the smallest. I'm a big boy so will have to mod the bike to fit me better. Have test ridden an Ace and the pegs are way too high for...
