Has failed an MOT - Front right fork leaking oil - Just cant afford to keep her anymore
Other than that, it is in fin condition.

It would be worth getting the fork seal & MOT done - it would be worth about £880 in good condition, as it is you'd be lucky to get £500 for it.
(ps to previous answer - you can't ride a 125 at 16)

Hi the battery is dead and I have ordered a new one just wondered if anyone could give me some tips on changing the old one for the new one.
Thanks Sue

Be sure to connect Negfitive (-) to Negitive, and Positive (+) to Posttive.
Clean up the cable lug's with a wire brush just lightly to engsure the best connection. You can buy terminal protector spray to apply to the battry to ensure longer battery life span.
To determin if a battery needs to be charged buy a hydrometer (http://www.stevenson-reeves.co.uk/howto.htm)

I'm asking for the state of Indiana. If unsure, how would I look into this? I've found websites, but none answer the question.

They are legal and most of them are two seaters, the illegal ones are the chinese imports that can not be titled. You will still have to have a license and insurance.

I have had since my driving licence since 1988 or do I have to take some sort of scooter driving test?

Study the motorcycle handbook on the DMV website for your state to prepare for the motorcycle written test.

Inquire where the skills test course is and practice before your appointment . . example:

If you desire to purchase some cones, soccer field cones at Wal-Mart are cheap.

Don't forget to budget for proper riding gear . . this is why.
