    ACE 125cc for sale in Belgium lots of upgrades, tweaks and spare parts!!

    Hi all, I am selling my Ace. It hurts to do so, but i am moving on to a bigger bike project and can't afford to keep both. The bike has a a lot of upgrades, tweaks and spare parts. It starts and runs great, thanks to all the input, resources and support from this forum. So a warm applause for...

    Snapped Spokes. Different Wheel required.

    Did a quick photoshop to see what it would give on my ace.. looks kinda fun ;) although they would never fit.. (rear bridge is too small) 4" is maybe an option..

    Snapped Spokes. Different Wheel required.

    i have been looking around as well, mainly for upgrading the drum brakes to disk brake in the rear.. it looks like a lot of parts were borrowed from the honda cg125. and there is a huge aftermarket.. anyways, i came across this. not sure if it would fit, but looks close...

    Hi All, Getting ready for DGR next sunday. Still 2 things on my todo list. 1) Make the bike a little more quiet: I upgraded my exhaust to an OOracing front pipe and black commando style muffler. Runs great, But is too loud in my opinion.. I know "loud pipes save lives", but i prefer it to be...

    Rear led light issue

    Solved! Turned out, polarity was an issue.. Bulbs don't care for polarity. LED does.. After fidling with wires and connections, everything fired up as normal! nico

    Rear led light issue

    hia all, i am looking into replacing the rear light with a led version.. but this doens't seem to be working. If i connect the wires correctly, nothing lights up.. the leds are not faulty, they work with a battery connected. I read something about an a/c or d/c issue. Am i overlooking...

    Indeed.. But i have been surfing around, and i did find a bracket to accommodate bigger disks.. mount holes for callipers should be standard.. so it can be a good fit.. http://webshop.lucdebondt.be/winkel/schijfrem-voor/mounting-bracket-for-bigger-diameter-front-diskbrake-jc-skyteam-2/ in...

    Hi All, I got a reply from Freespirits and Newfren. In short, they need a minimum of 20 kits to do a production run. I also asked about the disk alone, but the disk itself isn't available as it was also a one-off prototype... So it looks like we need to boost interest or are out of luck :(...

    Hi All, I have asked them for the ref number of the newfren disk. So hopefully they will get back to me asap. @HerbertD sounds like a solid upgrade, what were the part numbers you used for the cush drive bolts & bushes? nico

    Front brake is also on my todo list. But Sadly, it looks like freespirit isn't producing the sets. Since there is no demand for them. (as far as they can see) I will let them know that we have some (i counted 3 ;) ) demand. And maybe I can persuade them to do a very small production run of...

    Hi all, Rear brake is indeed an issue on my bike as well. stopping power isn't that great, swapped the brake pads for EBC ones (squeaking as hell) I read somewhere about cleaning the hub and roughing up the inside with some sanding paper. Another thing is was considering is ordering a...

    Small update on the Newfren brake disk Kit. I asked for a price range for the kit and they let me know that it would be between 200€ - 300€ (but no promises, depends on amount of interest and the production run). They are located in Italy so there would probably be some shipping costs involved...

    Hi All, i contacted Newfren to ask about the disk, and they redirected me to FreeSpirit. They did answer me and let me know it was custom made. It was the intention to make it available as a kit but because of no demand it isn't available and stays a one-off (for now).. I mentioned this thread...

    issues after rejetting Carb on Ace 125

    Hi 2B, Just a quick update on my findings after reading your excellent guide. Now I know how those things work. so a very warm thank you for that one. First of all, i completely miss-installed the pilot Jet. The stock was also the 3-peice, and I fitted the OOracing one, in the middle part and...
