“Amazingly good - EN125-2A”
Written on: 15/04/2013 by youdontneedtoknow (1 review written)
I bought my EN125-2A 5 months ago and I cannot be more pleased with the little monster. It over takes most 125's like a knife through hot butter. I reach 110km/h flat and the mpg is 100+ i measured it the other day and got a monstrous 123mpg. But then again its a 12 plate and very new. I should wait till about 7k's on the clock. By far the best starting bike ever. Economic and completely reliable. Speed - decent. Breaking - decent. Fuel capacity - 14L Fuel consumption -... (read more)

its probably just disconnected under the tank you will see 2 wires coming from the sender this just simply plugs in to a connector underneath the tank itself

thanx for your info.. just to let you know all connections seem fine.. the fuel needle seems to be trapped or tucked under some plastic within the dial. i spoken to a few people and they just told me not to worry about it and just check the tank now n then.. as it has a reserve tank .. maybe its just me being new to bikes lol..

“fantastic bike ”
Written on: 19/12/2012 by crazycar
I've had my lovely blue Suzuki en 125 2A 2004 since April 2012 never really had a problem that was the bike fault mainly my own (losing the keys, puncher)have had lots of fun on it and it holds the road really well.I would recommend the bike to anyone would, i would say there's a lack in power at the top end with half tank of fuel but that might be the fact I got a huge box on the back. Great economy 160 miles to a tank 96 mpg, easy to learn gears on for those whiling to improve from a twist... (read more)

“EN 125 the biggest fail ever.”
Written on: 03/08/2012 by dispo316
Bought mine a couple of years ago with 7k on the clock and was a late 06 plate. Anyway I have had nothing but problems with this bik. For a start it’s an import. They are made to Suzuki spec however they are made using cheap materials and cheap metal that rusts to the max. My bike has been garaged ever since i bought it and the rust just keeps coming. First problems i had was electrics shorts and bad earths and god knows what else. Finally got that fixed after multiple visits to a garage.... (read more)

There is no need to put it down like that. Maybe it was just an ugly duckling.. You probably don't even know how to take care of something because you're an irresponsible little girl. Now stop hating the bike and just explain the bad things. I mean 96% say its a good bike, and you say otherwise. Hush boy.

“Nice bike to get started with”
Written on: 24/05/2012
I have had this bike for over a year now, bought it second hand. It was my first ever manual bike, and I learned to ride it very quickly. Great for learner's, have been using it everyday to travel to work for the past year. Very little to complain about. Starts fine in winter, with a little nudge. It may be my bike, but does struggle to get above 55mph, especially on any inclines.. Max speed I reached was 65mph, and that was on a nice sunny day on flat tarmac. However, I am still happy with...

Written on: 08/09/2011 by albionjames (1 review written)
the en125 has been a great little bike for the 4 months that ive had it so far. it is quick off the line, has a good top speed for a four stroke 125, has excellent MPG (im 9 stone and i get around 100-125 MPG riding enthusiastically)and was pretty cheap to buy. top speed of around 75 but on flats with no a lot of wind ive hit 85. ive beaten YBR's CBF's and most mopeds off the lights and make CG's look silly. great engine noise as well. Only problem so far was the front and rear bulbs kept... (read more)

Try changing a smaller rear sprocket, 39 or 38 teeth and a pinion drive with 15 or 16 teeth, it will go smoothly on the flats.

needed to downgrade to cut fuel expense,and had chance to buy this en125.initially,the bike was very sluggish and seemed as if it was on the choke all the time.even then,it was doing 200miles to the tank. found that the diaphram in the carb had split in several places,and now she revs out in top gear and fuel consumption should go up.for daily use i would recommend this commuter to anyone (read more)

I've had the EN-125 just under a Year now, Bought it as a little commuter to get to and from Work. I'm quite a heavy guy at 220lbs and this bike is absoloutely great off the line, I leave behind other 125 bikes I ride with and on a nice warm day I've had her over 75MPH on flats. The reason for 5 stars is this bike is an absoloute b***h in the Cold!

Written on: 22/02/2010
I had my thunder last October, 2009 and I'm still comparing it with the other bikes available in the market. I wanted to upgrade the size of the tires and was thinking of either reducing the rims to a 17 inch rim or just get a 120 or 140/80/18 for the rear and just transfer the original rear tires in front. I guess i want it to look like a big bike. Acceleration is good but an additional hp would definitely be a plus. I'm happy with it and would like to know if there are after market... (read more)

I have found cutting to size a few bits of cardboard and enclosing the carburettor so the heat from the engine gets trapped helps to some extent. Doesn't look very nice but it works.

“Bought this little bike to get experience on the road...”
Written on: 20/12/2009 by jonesey2k (6 reviews written)
Bought this little bike to get experience on the road before going in for my full DAS course. Wanted a little bike that was cheap and easy to maintain and easy to ride.
The little engine pushes out about 12hp and will leave most cars behind but runs out of puff above 35-40mph. The exhaust note is surprisingly throaty and the airbox makes a nice noise at full throttle. It will cruise at 60mph but at that speed you tend to get blown about a bit as the bike doesn't weigh much more then about...

Sadly my EN-125 is now dead. A car turned into me and a collision ensued. Front forks snapped off and the front wheel is smashed. The frame is also bent badly causing the fuel tank to buckle. Oh well, it was nice knowing you little Suzuki :) Now in the process of purchasing a kwack 250R :)

Written on: 22/04/2009
The Suzuki EN 125 is a nice bike to ride, except in the wind. I had mine 6 months and then got knocked off and am going through the whole process to know if its a total loss or not. It goes quick when given time to get there, but from a stand still can be a bit slow off the mark. I think in the 125cc category its definately a good option. But be aware its an import, not a genuine suzuki and will not get as much as something like a Yamaha YBR or yzf125 if/when it comes to selling for upgrade... (read more)

Just for the record the Yamaha YBR is also an import most of the european models are manufatured in China not Japan just like the Suzuki EN, alot of YBR's are also manufatured in Brazil and South America so when reselling the value of the YBR and EN should be about the same.

MIne is the Suzuki EN-2A model and have had it since new (march 2006). It has covered 23,000 with no problems at all.
Over 100 miles per gallon every time. I once checked the fuel consumption from a full tank and it returned 112 miles per gallon.
It will reach speeds over 60mph with ease.
Starts first time every time.
Buy a Suzuki EN 125 and you won't be dissapointed or have reason to regret your purchase.

Written on: 01/02/2009 by en125debera
The Suzuki EN 125 bike is a real head turner, nicely designed and extremely comfortable to ride. The bike is very very quick and ive had 75mph out of mine unmodified. It just gives and gives, good alround acceleration and brilliant mpg. handles well cornering at both low and higher speeds. The honda cg125 looks very dated and old fashioned next to it. Great sounding engine, a really talker. I love mine and haven't regretted buying it for a second. (read more)

This is my first ever bike which I'm riding after passing my CBT. The bike was brought to commute to work and save some cash. Fuel economy is fantastic compared to the car, I've gone from 150-200 quid a month in the car to 20-30 quid in the bike! The bike is fun to ride and has made me fall in love with biking, the full test isn't far off! The Suzuki gets up to 60mph easily and quickly. It will sit on dual cariageways at 60mph and I dont feel intimidated at all. The build quality appears to... (read more)

My first bike and no problems so far. I did my CBT on a Honda CG and was looking for something similar but this bike is much better in my opinion. Good acceleration for a 125 and tops out around 65mph. Managed to get 70mph once but it was in the red so bailed out. I have been using it all year and it's never failed to start and no bulbs have blown and no other problems to mention. (read more)

Just a quick note I bought a aftermarket alarm system (that had the same amount of connectors for the alarm connector block in the wiring loom)
I fitted it and since then I have had no bulbs blow on me and this was a regular occurance before hand as I was changing it every other day at the longest time.
If needed I can supply a wiring set up document if you want to install an alarm yourselves.

If you can pick one of these up and its running get it you wont regret it. I paid £750 for mine with a lot of issues... not a lot left now just breaks, bearings, L/H mirror, 1st gear bulb, clutch change) but my bike has done 20600kM and was a learning schools bike so...

This bike is a sound all round bike and I recommend it. The way it operates and performs of course it is only a 125 but it's value for money and if you are looking for economical satisfaction then go out and buy one as I have had an RG125 and a GN125 in the Suzuki range and even the Van Van which does not come close because it has a tiny tank and is quite slow with no fuel gauge. The gears were a bit crunchy but I am not trying to put the little blighter down. But every bike has its faults... (read more)

You can change the tail red light for leds. They doesnt burn and also consumes less so the rest of the lights has more of the right power.
