Suzuki made TL125, TS125 and TM125s in the 70s. Sure he's not talking about one of those. I did find a reference to a Clymer manual (v-5019)that covered Suzuki TK125 and TK185, but it didn't have any info on what it was. The lack of info on the net would lead me to believe that they weren't a popular model.

all googling TK 125 got me was lots of pages on pricing of stuff in bangladesh (TK is the symbol for their currency).

and there is a galaxy called Suzuki TK.

he actually just dropped it yesterday and was asking how hard it is to fix turn signals lol

said he was going to take it to the local dealer(i assume where he bought it) to have them fix it.

They have a local dealer? Amazing! One of the reasons it's hard to get any info on some Chinese bikes is that there may be one factory putting out a bike that's sold under several different names (none of which is the actual factory that makes it). The bikes are sold as a commodity to the middleman, who has to come up with distribution and parts support on his own.
