Hi guys just got a Aprilia rs 125 it didn't have any front indicators and I can't find the wires to them. I have have purchased a bad egg! There's a few things wrong with it but my main concern right now is the indicators because it needs to be in a mot this week. It's a 2000 plate bike all I need to know is where to find these wires and what's the common issues? I Much appreciate you guys a lot thanks. A few pics of the bike

Big dan you where right I found some unused wires behind the fairing, I took the fairing off and they where just dangling there. Got a set of indicators and teSted them and they work a dream :-)
We don't get the really cool 125's over here like they do on your side. In 1971 for instance I found a 250cc mz with a streamlined RR type fairing that I would have loved to have brought home. I was going 180 kph in a car and that one passed me with a lot of speed to spare. I found it later at a pub and got a good look at it. Under 300 lbs and they were cheap.
Also the bike is very hard to start, I hope it's not a rebuild like it was with the kx :-/, the lad says it's had a new top end rebuild, when he deliverd it to me he was trying to bump it for a while wich had alarm bells ringing, anyway he come round the corner flying and I had a ago and I loved it. I hope that all this bumping was not because this compression is actually friction! And then a top end rebuild would be exspensive!
Aprilia is Italian. And they make the finest sportbikes in the world. (My opinion of course) They started as a scooter company. Now owned by Piaggio.
'Hard to start' tells me it's a carburetor issue. I would pull it and clean it first before looking at anything else. -BIG DAN

Google, I found them but am not computer savvy enough to show the link or cut paste or whatever it is but if you just type in aprilla 28 mm carb you'll find it.
I think I'll also do a compression test, but without knowing the correct range I'm pretty fcukd lol
I would guess its around 150, but make sure when you test it the throttle is open.
Ok thanks I would have never of known that
Would the bike have to be warm or could you do a cold test?
where u from james? ?
