    the Jinlun 125 - 11 125 keeps stopping. it does re start but is a pain
    the chain and sprocket are worn out havn't done 5000km yet
    crome rusting and flaking
    choke cable just broke this morning
    the valve clearance was in correct and air filter had petrol damage
    it will not tick over properly
    they say that it was due to a bad pdi but some of the problems are just bad quality materials

    Well, where to start. I bought the Jinlun 125 - 11 125 because i thought having something to ride whilst doing my DAS would be better practice than none at all. How wrong was I.

    Firstly the bike arrived minus a bulb in the rear left hand indicator! Not a blown bulb, it just wasn't there at all! Okay i thought easy oversight 50p sorted that out.

    Went to the petrol station and filled up only to find the fuel guage was stuck on the 2 bottom lights. Got this fixed by local garage then all was ...

    i own a 250-5 texan, big for a 250 and lots of shiney bits, it has teething problems but what mechanical machine doesnt, it runs good and maintenance is easy, and looks good as well if kept cleaned and polished. i use it for cruising at 60-70 mph, i dont need a death trap 900cc road bike that would probably end up in a square after coming out of the crusher when it hit a brick wall of car just because i wanted to do over 100 mph, no thanks im very happy taking things in my stride and staying ali ...

    Lets face it they look brilliant fantastic value for money, and save a fortune on fuel costs. anyone who buys a second hand Jinlun 125 off ebay should expect to put their hand in their pocket- buy new cheap enough mine has actually paid for itself in low fuel bills and roadtax commuting. looks like a harley gets the looks probably costs the same as the harley wheels i paid £1300 delivered. downside they are slow up hills but for a restricted 125 learner leagal i think we expect to much. ...

    Bought this little cruiser brand new near 3 weeks ago, Ive done well over 500 miles and NEVER had a problem.
    The Jinlun 125 does about 65+ to the gallon and will sit all day cruising along without a care.

    I done 250+ in 1 day and it never hiccuped once.

    The bike is well built and has loads of goodies, like a remote alarm with remote starting and immobilizer.
    Ive checked online for spares incase some numpty tried to rearrange it and parts are easily available and very cheap.

    All in all a barg ...

    After nearly one years ownershipmy Jinlun 125 - 11 is now scrapped £1000 lighter in the pocket the electrics never worked when it rains people often sais they could not beleve it was a year old due to the rust the final nail in its coffin was the fuel tank leaking due to poor weld.

    The Jinlun 125 - 11 is my 1st ever bike: owned it from 8mths old to 18mths old. A dog before being run-in (min. umpteen hundred kms), but subsequently a dream. What I wasn't expecting from such a VERY inexpensive Chinese bike was that it turned out to be exceptionally faithful. Constantly getting looks & attention, with lots of people of ALL ages asking about it. Yes - about it looking more like a 600/750cc. Very practical. I passed my test on it, stress-free. Supremely comfy ride & the most ple ...

    I've had my black and white jinny 125-11 for about 8 months,from new. i've done about 2,500km on it, mainly commuting to work and back. i had a few little problems early on whilst running the engine in, ie, loosening nuts, automatic side stand cut out clicking in while i was riding along, and the bracket mounting the spot light broke due to excessive vibration ( bumpy roads!) once she was run in though and the nuts held with a dab of superglue, i have nothing but praise for the bike. it's fun t ...

    How quickly the joy of owning a new bike disappears when faults start to appear!!.The 2nd time I rode my shiny new 125 11,there was a loud clunk from the engine and loss of oil,this was traced to a broken oil seal on the generator drive shaft and repaired under warranty,cost of seal £5,cost of taking the bike back to the dealer, £60.Things went well for a while until I had to go on a long trip,over 20 miles!!,at the first roundabout the bike died an embarrasing death,leaving me in a ...

    I'v had 2 of these jinlun 125-11's, first one didn't last long got pulled out on at crossroads, car went on red lights and I went straight under his wheel... so that was a write off... but the little 'jin' saved me taking most of the weight of the car only pinning my leg down...

    This one has lived about 6 months or so, the engine is to die for the, second time making a deep rumble through low to mid range revs... Sound's good under bridges as well as tunnels. I'm not yet sure if there is yet an ...

    Well, i read reviews, and they were mixed. The
    Jinlun 125 - 11 125(48) bike looked great, so i thought I'd get it.

    Trust me, the looks weren't worth the hassle...

    Every morning the engine took about 20 - 25 minutes to start. The battery ran out after only 1000km. The clutch is terrible... however many revs i put on, as soon as I lifted the clutch, the bike always went to the point of stalling, where i'd have to quickly save it. On hill starts it was impossible, hence i forced myself to stick ...

    I took delivery of this bike today so this review is based primarily on the service from the supplier, and the aesthetics of the bike itself. Having researched a new (and first) 125cc motorbike for mny weeks on the web, i happened across the Jinlun and saw the mixed reviews.

    I decided to take a chance on the bike as being 6'2" and 16 stone, i didnt relish the idea of riding a scooter of tiny sports bike. This brings me onto the first point about the Jinlun -It is a massive bike for a 125cc! It ...

    Bought my Jinlun in June 2008, firstly found it hard to find somewhere that will service it as most bike shops will not touch it. My dealer did not supply a log book which the mechanic I eventually found thought was very odd. The gear rocker leaver became worn which made gear change very hard which meant I had to get it repaired. I was then stopped by the police on routine stop check who kindly pointed out the pannier metal frame was cracked and split around the weld, they informed me that this ...

    I bought my jinny in october this year with the intention of using it for work.... currently iv done less than 200km on it and its broken down again 5th maybe 6th time iv lost count :(

    serious advice to anyone wanting to buy a cheap 125.... save a bit more money and buy the japanese equivalent DONT make my mistake and spend £1200 on a useless pile of metal and plastic
