Guest Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 New to biking and recently bought a 09 plate pioneer nevada 125 im having issues with the bike starting andif it does start it wont idle also seems to drain battery rapidly. I been informed that the engine as been replaced,with an Honda engine after ive bought the bike, it was running when picked up which it felt like it was strugglingwith power but it got put down to being a older bike.Havent got a scooby doo and bike was bought as seen, so any advice or help to get it back on the road would bemuchly apriceated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Sounds like the carb could do with a strip and clean.........also drain the fuel tank, if there's a load of water sitting in the bottom of the tank it won't like it......and put fresh fuel in when you refill it.......
