under the seat just behind the bolt that holds the gas tank on is the starter relay..
some times they fail
in at least one case a rider reported to me that its contacts stuck on....making motor crank
also the switch on the handle bar may be sticking ..it may have been damaged but is not showing damage

What is the amaunt of preasure in the front/rear tire for RT 125

[stephendacosta]

That depends of the manufacturer of the tire. For optimum wear, reduce the recommended pressure on the tire sidewall by 10%. This bit of information is from a tire engineer for Goodyear. For maximim cornering footprint, you would use a lower pressure; I have not worked out what is best, yet. David Thompson might have a little more experience for that.--Steve
