Honda CG125 Bike Damage after an Accident
If you drop the bike, the normal damage is to the foot rest.
The foot rests are bolted to the metal bar that attaches to the underside of the engine.
When the bike falls over, all the weight of the bike goes on the foot rest, both wheels leave the ground.
The handle bar end also makes contact with the ground, there's not much weight on it.
The foot rest will often bend out of position.
You can fix this by using a large heavy hammer and bash it back to position, quick strikes are more effective than slow ones.
To work out when the foot rest is in the correct position, walk a decent distance away from the front of the bike,
kneel down and look straight at the bike, see if the foot rests on both sides are the same height and pointing the same.
Also look from other angles to work out if it's bent any other way.
If you can not bend it back to position, you will have to order a new metal bar and foot rest. It simply bolts to the underside of the engine.
Other things to check is the gear shift lever, make sure its not bent, if it is, bend it back to shape,
it can be easily replaced (remove nut bolt and remove it). Make sure nut bolt is tight, it can come slightly loose in an accident.
You can check the following, but a MOT (if you live in the UK) should check them.
If you fell off to the right, also check the rear brake pedal and silencer (bend back to position if necessary).
The next thing to check is if you have bent the front forks.
If you have, the handle bars will not point straight ahead when you are travelling straight.
Check that the handle bars are not bent, simple walk a decent distance away from the front of the bike and look at the bars pointing straight ahead,
also look at the brake and clutch lever.
The final thing to check is if you have bent the chassis. This requires you to check the wheel alignment.
There are several different ways. But the idea is for one person to sit on the bike and keep the bike level and the handle bars dead straight.
Another person puts a straight edge like a ladder either side of the bike. They then push it parallel against the back wheel.
They then look at the small gap between the straight edge and the front wheel, the gap should be the same amount on both sides of the wheel.
If you have not got a straight edge long enough, there is another harder way, search the internet for the other technique.
Remember the wheel alignment will change if the rear wheel chain adjuster nuts are adjusted incorrectly (if you adjust one side more than the other).
