Hello from Michigan

Hi everyone!
Just bought an MFC 125 for my son. Discovered this site while I was scrounging around the internet for information on it. Found lots of useful info here so far. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions as I start to get this bike back into shape. I'll post some pictures when I can.

Welcome to the China Bike Family

I'm sure any and all questions you have will be answered by at least 1 person on this site, and as many say around here "Pics or it never happened"

Welcome, Dave!

I had only heard of that bike in BC before today. I'd love to see pics.

Here she is. Needs a bit of work. Runs really well. I need to replace the gas tank, and plastics, and purchase a few things to get her back into usable condition.

Not sure what this is all about. Front tire. Anyone know what should be there instead of the washers?

dudeman43 · 04-05-2016, 07:44 PM

rear chain guard missing. Rim totally roached out. Functional but really ugly! lol

dudeman43 · 04-05-2016, 07:46 PM

Air box cover broken.

dudeman43 · 04-05-2016, 07:48 PM

Missing front brake handle. Probably should replace the whole unit. Haven't looked at the caliper and pads yet.

dudeman43 · 04-05-2016, 07:51 PM

And lastly, the exhaust should probably be replaced soon. Its usable but not for much longer.

dudeman43 · 04-05-2016, 07:54 PM

Engine code. Its supposed to be a 125cc. How do you read the code?

dudeman43 · 04-05-2016, 07:59 PM

I've been looking on taobao and I think I have found most of what I need but I'm not sure if the parts will fit this bike. Any help would be appreciated!

125cc class with 56 mm bore.

The speedometer sending unit should replace those washers.

The washers in the front wheel are supposed to be a metal spacer ,If the washers fit I think they will be just fine .The fuel tank looks the exact same as the one on a baha dirt runner 90 ,not sure if that helps you or not .The rear wheels are the biggest reason I get these bikes cheap ,not sure how it starts but generally there is a few broken spokes then the wheel becomes extremely wobbly and unrideable .I would go through the wheel before it gets too bad to repair .Finding replacement wheels is tough because most of them are broken and wobbly
I don't know if you have figured it out ,mfc stands for motorized fun company ,I have not seen any bikes from them newer than about 2004 or so .
