This website is the only one that supports the Honda CG125 motorbike to my knowledge.

It has been designed for the whole world, but has more specific information for the UK where indicated.

This website covers all the important things in the Owner's Manual and often in far more detail.

It also covers lots of things not in the Owner's Manual.

It covers servicing, tyres, accessories, basic fault finding, tools, parts, faqs and much more.

I may turn this site in to an Owners Club, by adding a forum, but all the Honda CG125 forums have failed to really work.

I hope you find this website helpful. None of it, including all the servicing needs any skills or expensive tools.

Someone who has never seen or read about motorcycles and has no natural mechanical talent could easily manage it.

The bike was deliberately designed that way including, oil change, spark plug, valve clearance, air filter, chain tension. 

All I know about the bike is in the website, please email if you've anything to add, before you ask, I've no Workshop Manuals.

This website differentiates between the Honda CG125 front drum brake model and the front disc brake model.

At the end of 2003 / beginning of 2004 the Honda CG125 had a major change from a front drum brake to a front disc brake.

The front drum brake was never quite powerful enough and faded when braking over a long distance.

Of course the front drum brake has been used for many decades and people have managed,

but most have said they would have preferred the extra power and the reduced fading of a disc brake.

The front disc brake version is more than powerful enough once its run in (see Front Disc Brake in Servicing page).

There were other changes to the bike, especially to do with the engine.

The front disc brake model has to pass the euro 2 emission standard, in order to sell it in many countries including the UK.

This has substantially reduced the strength of the choke (see Choke in General page).

An air suction valve has also been added to reduce emissions.
