Is the EN125-2F a pure Suzuki?

EN125-2F is a street motorcycle produced by Haojue Suzuki, meeting China's National III emission standards. Here are the relevant details: Haojue Suzuki: The EN125-2F boasts relatively stable and reliable quality, good driving stability, and excellent high-speed performance compared to similar motorcycles. The overall craftsmanship is quite refined. Long production history: This series has been in production for a long time, with substantial sales and a large ownership base. The price is relatively reasonable, and the cost of parts and maintenance is not high, offering good value for money. There are no significant drawbacks, although the relatively low handlebars can cause fatigue during long rides or on poor road conditions. The design is somewhat dated, and due to its focus on mid-to-high-speed performance, it lacks advantages at low to medium speeds.
I recently researched the history of Haojue Suzuki. Strictly speaking, the EN125-2F is not a purebred Suzuki. It was launched by Haojue after 2010, when Suzuki and Haojue were still in technical collaboration. The engine used the EN platform which indeed inherited Suzuki technology. However, the body design and frame were developed by Haojue themselves. The distinctive whistling sound you hear when starting it is characteristic of Suzuki engines, but the logo is now 'Haojue' instead of 'Suzuki'. Currently, second-hand EN125-2F models are nearly a thousand yuan cheaper than those with the Suzuki logo. Those who know cars understand that you need to check the engine number to determine its lineage.
I once disassembled the engine of this bike when repairing motorcycles. The cylinder side cover is engraved with 157FMI, which is an improved version of Suzuki GS technology. The unique structure of the dual-cushion balancer shaft clearly shows its Suzuki lineage. However, the plastic parts and fuel injection system suppliers of the entire bike are different from those of purely imported Suzukis. The ECU is from Deli, and the carburetor version also uses Keihin. The spark plug position has been adjusted, requiring an extended socket for maintenance. Simply put, the core powertrain uses Suzuki technology, while the peripheral parts have been localized. For such bikes, special attention should be paid to valve clearance during maintenance, and setting it to 0.08mm ensures the quietest operation.
