Summerizing My 1975 HONDA CB125S 

You bet! The low displacement bikes are so much fun

Nice! The 125 and 150cc's are so much fun

I had no idea how much fun this bike was when I first bought it

They are great little bikes, love mine!

It's not bad for its age! It's so much fun

They're such a fun bike

Thanks! Yeah I can' get over how much fun these bikes are, I never would've guessed before having one

@@GETUPANDGO I got my covers and super pumped I found the exact color match in rattle cans right down the street from me. They even have the flake in it. I looked everywhere and it's an exact match! If you need any of that paint just hollar and I would be happy to get some for you! Peace ✌️

@@Wheres-Wolfie That's awesome! Thanks for the update and the offer, I'll keep it in mind--right now I'm working through some wiring issues I found, I'll be posting a video about it at some point

They need a regular drive or the clutch sticks and makes hard to start, very sensitive to incorrect choke use,if you forget at all to put that lever down after it's used the plug turns black and fuel gets in the oil system real quick.Then it's new spark plug time...again. Always keep a new spare plug on the bike.

It's a lot of fun

It's always a sad story when someone lets these classics rot away in a field or a barn. Hopefully the owner will let it go and it can at least help some other bikes stay on the road, or give some other bikes a second chance in general

Nice! I love that green

That's super awesome! They are such fun bikes, the older models are so great

1975 was the last year for the single cb125$ to have the tach and center stand Then onwards honda became cheepo on these bikes No more tach,center stand, half chrome fender in rear Bad redesign on the t chain tensioner Increased to 122cc and taller engine Two piece head i think Very poor quality chrome

@@cb400fhonda6 Hello and greetings. My 1978 model came with only the side stand. Which was a piece of junk design, the bike kept falling over on its own sometimes. I bought the center stand from the dealership for the older models and put it on mine. All of the frames are the same so it worked. And the gas tank design on mine was really poor engineering. You can't get the gas nozzle in properly when you're filling up. You get a lot of Splash Back.

@irfaanxlcr8370 I also have a 1978 Honda Cb125s. I’m guessing yours is also red. Right before I read your comment I was thinking about doing a center stand installation because I also thought the frame is the same. Was it difficult to do? I absolutely hate these gas tanks. I have two now. The nozzle hole is so small and there’s only like an inch of clearance. These are the hardest tanks to restore to get all the rust out. I also hate the front brake caliper mechanism. I finally got around to rebuilding mine. Next year I’m going to convert to 12volt and the points over to CDI

Nice! They are super fun. Good question on the oil filter--I didn't replace it because it's an internal oil filter and I wasn't ready to go through the process of opening the engine case which usually leads to needing new gaskets, etc. It's on the project list though, but some electrical issues (frayed harness, etc.) are the current repair focus

If you join a Honda or vintage motorcycle forum, someone somewhere should have one--or, you might be able to find a CD version on eBay, etc. I've had good luck with both

Hell no, I'm going to leave this as close to stock as possible! I like cafe racers, but this one is too much of a gem to be put through that

I believe they're scooter tires, I'll have to take a closer look to confirm what kind

Technically you can, but you are more likely to have leaks because synthetic has powerful detergents and cleaning agents and they can work their way through old gaskets more than conventional oil

It's very light and nimble like a moped almost. I would say it's pretty good as a starter

If you can find one that's in really good shape, it'd be a good bike to learn on--problem with older bikes is they often break down, my CB has left me stranded a few times

Yeah I've been doing further troubleshooting and found that some rust/sediment had settled in the petcock, and there's a couple frayed wires deeper in the wiring harness. More fix-it videos to come

Probably a generator, lol

Yes, I should've done that

I was just on a day trip and drove by it--but I've found multiple others on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace

@@GETUPANDGO That's a great find, I can't seem to find any near me but I haven't been searching for long. Thanks for the reply

@@GETUPANDGO How much did you pick it up for and what was the condition of the bike?

I think I got it for around $1100, or so. It needed a new battery, the tank cleaned, and I've done a few minor fixes here and there. I recently found that the inner wiring harness is frayed, so fixing that is the latest to-do for the CB

They're great bikes

thx for that "borat" movie meme looool xD

plus that exhaust sound nice

lol, after this video I found that the petcock was clogged, and the wiring harness is frayed... so the bike has some problems that need to be fixed. Another project to add to the list!

Esta moto esta nos estados unidos ou europa ? Grato

Nice, follow an insult with a "no offense". Grow up, no offense.

I did add an in line fuel filter off-camera. Is there something specific you noticed about the carb being out of whack? I've been dialing it in, but I discovered some electrical problems which is causing it to run rough

Once oil has been heated, it can acidify. Your car has both a mileage and timing oil change interval recommendation.

I will need to double-check

Yes, I should've put the drain plug back in--sometimes making videos of this stuff distracts you from going through all of the right steps. Luckily it takes such little oil it can be properly reflushed pretty quick and easy
