I used to own the older model called planet 125.
I´ve experienced starter motor failure just after 4 years of useage, it ture out that the carbon brush have worn out.
I don´t see such problem happen to other bikes, even after that I´ve own Aprilia RS125 and it never gave me this problems.
I´m wondering will the laterest Raptor 125 going to have the same problems ?
I still love this bike, and it really handles and performs very well and thought of owning one again.
Any idea what could have been the cause of such fast worn out of the carbon brush ? Or it´s some reliability problems ?
Another question is that anyone have ever faced engine prone to ceased ? Even it is in standard form, no modification done ?
Thank you !
