Honda CG125 Motorcycle

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 is more than powerful enough when its run in (see How to run in the Front Disc Brake in Brakes page). There were other changes to the bike to pass the euro 2 emission standard, in order to sell it in some countries including the UK They reduced the strength of the choke (see Choke in General page) and added an air suction valve to reduce emissions.
The Honda CG125 currently does not pass the euro 3 emission standard, in the UK new bikes can not be sold after 2008. Several countries insist on euro 3, most bike manufacturers have converted to euro 3 by replacing the carb with fuel injection. The vast majority of Honda CG125 are sold in countries that do not have euro 3, 2 or 1 so the bike is still being made.
