This was my first bike which I rode from 1995 to 2003 in Germany. Great bike for city commute, but I also took it all the way across Europe, over the Alps and everywhere. I loved it dearly, but had to sell it when I moved to Australia. Great to see it again.

Useful video. I need to change the dampers and the brake pads of my cbf..

I’m in Nicaragua with a flat rear tire. Gonna take it off here in a bit and go to the shop. Thanks a lot for the video !!!

I always wanted one but they were a little bit pricey, so I bought a honda cb500s. 23years later i still have it with 140,000 miles on the clock all done by me (225,308) kilometres. I have had 4 shaft bikes 3 bmw 1 honda deauville to heavy for me 225k. I am keeping my two cb500s and my new shaft will be picked up next week. It is a Moto guzzi breva 750 ( 2011).

Hi mate, loving the videos as I am currently working on one of these. Do you know the size tool needed to get the flywheel off?

Thank you.

I'm planning to change my Honda NSR fork seals and i think that cb and nsr forks are pretty much the same design?

Thank you for posting this this tutorial helped a lot you have an amazing way of explaining things!

They are superb machines, I toured England and Scotland on one and it was flawless

Thank you for the video. I recently bought a Ntv 650. It has just under 100k kilometers in it. I Don't have much experience with bikes, but I think the cam chain is rattling a bit, so I may have to do something about it. I'm really looking forward to your next video. This might be helpful for me.

Hello, thanks for your videos. I have a couple of questions. Is it common for this motorcycle to experience harsh engine braking in 1st and 2nd gears when the throttle is closed? This is my first motorcycle, so I have nothing to compare it to. After the purchase, I serviced the carburetors, replaced torn membranes and had to replace the needles on the throttles. I found needles only from deauville 650. They are shorter and thicker. In any case, the bike rides well. I wonder why the NTV 650 has different springs on the vacuum throttles. It looks like the front cylinder kicks in later when you open the throttle. Also, when you drive very slowly at low engine speeds, you feel play in the transmission, perhaps this is a feature of the cardan drive, or maybe it is wear and tear on the transmission. I will be very glad if you share your experience. I apologize for the text, it was created in Google translator))

How did it go have you completed it? Is it any good?

Good info. Thanks.

How many KMs did you get out of the chain and sprockets my 125E needs both a set of sprockets plus a chain it's done 25kms it's a 2012 model

My CB125E is just about to be replaced do i need any special tools to do the job myself it's done 25000kms

скільки об'єму? мені здається щось більше за 125?😊

Rumor has it they do 250.000 easy. no need to open the shaft drive. just put some new oil in it. i have a couple. theyr good old donkey's and fun when you want. ua-cam.com/video/JAelhuH_eUA/v-deo.html

Just used this video to do the same on my varadero 👍 essentially the same job. really helpful thanks 🙏

Hello. Thanks for the video. I have a 1993 NTV650 in the UK and it has done 33,000 miles, around half the distance of yours. My oil pump chain looks to be about the same tension as yours. It was causing me some concern but given that yours is the same, I suspect neither of us needs to worry about it. You mention a noise. Mine makes a rattling noise, but only when the clutch is disengaged. That's the reason I have just removed my clutch cover and found the 'slack' chain. As a matter of interest, did you find out if your chain is being its service life? I can't find any information about it. It may be a different noise to yours. Mine certainly can't be heard when riding the bike and, as I said, it only happens when the clutch lever is pulled in. I suspect the clutch release bearing.

Hey mate, I'm leaning to work on engine and I made rookie error, I used a normal socket instead of a spark plug socket and its stuck in the spark plug well would you have any hot tips to remove the socket. The socket has slid over the sparkplug making a firm fit

How to tell the difference between mc 19 mc 22 carb plz riply

where do you get this ixil exhaust from?

Really appreciating your series mate - I've got 3 Revere (an 89, 90 and 91) in various styles (one cafe modded, one standard, one in severe need of tlc). Definitely going to use your videos as reference when I finally get to pull down the non-running one!

Avoid metal knives for removing old gaskets. You can cut an old credit card in half and sharpen one side by scraping on stone. Use that to scrape.

Hi, I currently own one of the last ones, 97, which I bought a couple of years ago from the original owner with just over 3000km on! Yes 3k!😮, for under 3k€, 😊. Used for one year and then dry stored but maintained. Returning to biking after family commitments and now retired. I have had a lot of bikes, classics etc. which also included two cx500's, and the forerunner VT500e. Mostly in UK and now Austria. I'm also a shaft drive convert. So you need to get a manual. The engines are bullet proof as other mention, dispatch tool, as long as maintained. Camchains are automatically adjusted. The front cylinder tappet clearance gets neglected as tricky to get to. You will learn the knack of getting the carbs off. 😂 Take the throttle cable assembly off the carb so you dont need to reset the cables, just two screws 😉 The engine does clatter a bit on tickover. VT500's did suffer from piston wear of the rear cylinder due to overheating. I haven't heard anything regarding the NTV though, only some reasoning for differing jet sizes front and rear. Funnily Honda even tried switching those aswell. 😢 The gearbox comes from Hondas agricultural dept. similar to my old R75/6 and very unlike the vt or the super silky CX's. The engine doesn't have a balancer, Honda cleverly balanced 52° V by offsetting the two crank pins to emulate a 90° 😉. Without the original clocks you have to guess the mileage. Your exhaust system is non-standard too. Jetting can be a mystery as they changed over the years and can influence a lot. Riding position is cramped as the pegs are too high and far back plus low seat. Slow riding also can cause wrist or palm pain. Mine is strangled due to noise emisions (longer silencer) so the transmission whine is dominant. The grey import hawk has chain drive and an aluminium frame etc. and lighter. I prefer the later clocks as they are the same size and more like my CB550F. I also prefer the later standard bars, but they are too low and far forward for me. Handlebar risers could be fitted. However, I understand that this can be an issue with the loom wiring length and the throttle cables, etc. The handling is rock solid, but tend to tip into corners too easily and can lean a lot further than I'm prepared to go.😅 Watch out for the E fuels clogging the jet's, especially pilot. Fuel pumps tend to go but are cheap. The finish is very good quality. I retrofitted the centerstand (straight fit), Honda was economising! As you say, great torque and will pull hard even with a passenger and gear. The CX is more comfortable, but less stable in particular the forks/ steering head. Basically the chassis out matches the power of the engine. The way it should be. You said it had been dropped, check everything! RH switchgear not correct also. Anyway have fun and I agree with your philosophy of getting it back to standard if economically viable.

Just did both of mine in about an hour and a half, thank you so much for your video.. no more leaks!

I never understood the soaking. Within moments of starting the clutch becomes bathed in oil.

I really appreciate these videos. I am having issues getting a buddys cb125e running that was in a crash then sat for 3 years also it has had a side stand bypass because the stand was wrecked and maybe other crash related issues. I have been following your tutorials and I am wondering about the spark plug that is currently installed. It is a new ngk CPR8EA9 with a threaded terminal and the connection with the spark plug cap is not great and easily removed. It is sparking though. Would you recommend a threaded, solid plug or nut for the sparkie?

You wipe them off after and let them sit for awhile first?

Hey mate, hope you are well and thanks for the video ... I have watched the video and it looks very easy to do it, but when I tried, it was impossible to hook one extreme of the cable. I tried bottom first and the other way around. It is for about 3mm that I cannot reach the hook, but even if I do it, then the clutch will be tensioned all the time. All threads are loose so that the cable is at its maximum extension and cable path was same as original ... Idk if I am doing something wrong or if the cable is shorter than original (the seller said is correct for Honda cb125e model 2012/2021)

Hey mate I know this is a long shot but I'm having a problem with my cb125e and I'm wondering if I can have some way contact you so I can get your thoughts on it before I take it to a mechanic and pay them too much money to diagnose it( just because you're basically the guy who knows everything about those bikes)

Legend - your guides are the only reason i'm on the road , thank you

Awesome

Mine also have this same noise in engine but still runs fine. It sometimes very irritating.

thanks for posting

a few more postings will be appreciated

pls keep posting more

Really grateful for cylinder head bolt torque values 😊

Mine is a 1983 CB 125 and I can't even find the old change bolt, it's not on the bottom

Awesome chanel thanks man You helping me a lot. Really usefull staff ))

Thanks for such a thorough and clearly communicated instruction vid, and from a fellow Aussie as well. This video playlist is brilliant, I hope to work my way through all these maintainance vids and learn as much as I can before moving to something a bit larger and presumably more complex.

Is this bike will fit a kick starter if change the side cover with a kick start hole¿😮

im asking since it is 10pm with 6 hours until i need to get up for work. i've searched for a very long time for a reputable place to buy parts (which all seemed to point to you guys?) everything i find is a little bit sketchy or massively overpriced. and even some forums saying that the engine is identical to some other bikes?? i would just love to know what i should be googling instead of "honda cb125e 2019 big bore kit" or "sprocket set" or anything to do with the bike. as for the big bore kits i've found stating 185cc. the pictures show the 149cc marking on the engine :') please i beg you, how can i find parts affordably like big bore kits, carburetor parts, and just main upgrades parts (maintenance parts seem easy to find thankfully. but nothing else)

Great bikes, I have one, my 2nd. Also got a bros 400 as a project and commute on a Deauville 700 through winter here in the uk. I had a Deauville 650 before so you could say I’m a sucker for these bikes. The clocks were shared with a lot of Hondas at the time. Germany and UK have a lot of parts. They do rattle. I bet the cam chains are fine.

Ich habe die Gleiche in Lila👍 Schönes Motorrad, der Auspuff passt auch gut dazu

Socket set preferably with a ratchet?

What size is the Castle nut socket , I need to buy one

I just learned about soaking the plates first. So question, I had a clutch put in 2 years ago at a shop. It's already shot. So I'm doing it again, myself. I'm going to soak the plates first. Could that be why my clutch has gone out already? Maybe they didn't soak them first? And what happens if I soak them longer than 24 hours? (in case I don't get to it at exactly the planned time, but want to keep them ready?)

Just sold my CB125e. Bought it as a write off and fixed it up for kids to use on dirt roads on a farm. Your videos have been very helpful! Thank you very much!

You obviously "REVERE" it ....
