first one few years ago. I then bought second and now I got my third one. Therefore I am quite familiar with this bike. When I got my first Sachs Madass 125, I spent a lot of money to fix the bike as the previous owner didn't keep it well. What I can share with you about this bike is in the following.

In my opinion, this bike has simple mechanism and it means that it won't get you big trouble. The point is you need to know the bike and I suggest that you need to custom a bit by yourself. This bike is operated by the air cooled system with an airbox. Many people complaint the power as the maximum speed is around 80 or 90 km/h. The normal speed is 70. To improve the performance, you can change the airbox into a carburetor with an air filter. Or even you can get the oil cooled lifan engine to upgrade the capacity. The original engine is one cylinder 4 stroke petrol engine. The original bike has small and weak indicators so I suggest you should change all of them. It is very easy to change the front indicators. Just get a new one and plug in the cable. However, for the rear one you need to do the wiring under the seat. This bike can be used as a dirt bike if you change the tyres and the carburetor intake. It is recommended that you change the lever both in the front brake lever and the clutch lever as the original steel is poor. However the body and the main frame are very strong. You may also change the switch control unit as well, but you need to get the exact same cable connected with the power source. I firmly suggest that you get mechanic to tune the carburetor and the clutch play for you if you don't know how to make it. A proper balance of airflow and oil in carburetor won't get you any trouble of starting and it contributes to running smoothly. Adjust the spring preload of the shock absorber if you find that it is too high for you. Since this bike can be used as dirt bike so the seat height is a bit higher than other small bike. Get a new fuel tap as the cap of the original one is easy to break down and causes leaking! Highly recommend to use the viscosity grade SAE 15W/40 engine oil for this bike. Change some good quality stainless bolts and nuts by yourself. You can get them from Bunnings. Only use the battery of 12v6AhMF and the spark of NGK CR7 HSA. The generator is 12v150w. Make sure you clean the oil foam air filter if you have the original airbox. Check the clutch seal and front fork seals regularly. If you make all of these, this bike is perfect and reliable. People complaint because they don't really know this bike. I found that this bike is simple and it is quite handy. The fuel consumption is very low of the original engine. Better to get 125cc or upgrade it to 140 above. 50cc is too low for this bike as it has a normal dimensions with 1840mm and 760mm together with 100kg. All in all, this Sachs Madass 125 is fun with dual-sports. There won't be any issues if you follow the above recommendations.
