Yes. But as you don't know what oil it is, how old it is or even the viscosity, replace it for peace of mind.
It's a 125, it'll probably only have four teaspoons of oil in it anyway.

Noooo, don't give him more things to do. He'll start saying motor factors are like North Korea or something.
Get riding and learning - don't listen to these fools.

Bought engine oil, funnel and brake one way valve tube.
Just checked price of new tyres, triple price of my scooter
guess problem is some people run bikes to the ground (I know that myself someone who used to be mechanic in shop) then comes so expensive to replace everything cheaper to buy a new motorbike.
Very strange I put the throttle end into the channel and it's now high revving. Fine when I plop it out and it rests on the bottom the throttle assembly, proper idle speed.
Ordered right switch/throttle unit, used but at least be better than mine only £15..

The lights of the NHT certainly aren't as good as my Jet X (all of the lights not just the ones that face forward) so if I ever get a big new expensive bike I'll keep that in mind. Also since most people would test ride a bike in the day, you'd never think of testing how good the lights are. I've seen a few videos of even owners of the main Japanese brands adding lights as they're insufficient.

Guys, can you please have a listen to the below ticking sound that has recently started. It is roughly every 3-4 seconds at the start and the below is how frequently it happens once the bike is warm.
I did AI search and based on it tested it at constant 2.5k rpm and 3k. I can't hear it at 3k anyway but the engjne sound was a rough rhythm, like sounded good > bad > good roughly at same intervals as below. Like its struggling in intervals.
TIA...
