I do recall saying the chainguard prevented lubrication however this was only related to the brand and type of chain lube I use and the inspection/lube hole provided was too small for me. I am glad that it didn't impede your ability to correctly lube the chain!
I've never bothered to even try to open the inspection hole. How are you supposed to measure chain slack through that? I understand why someone might have difficulty getting the cover off, but it is not so hard once you figure it out.
@@NicksBikes I think basically it's an inspection hole. But yes that inside clip and slide is quite a technique but it never bothered me because I never took my CB125F onto dirt or wet roads.
That lube will be fine for the CB125F. I use Motul Factory Line Chain Race Lube @ $29.95 for a 400ml can. I only use this because it's given me the longest life on big chains that are having to convey 200bhp to the sprockets.
@@NicksBikes It's a 420 from memory so more than capable handling 10bhp and with your maintenance it will last you quite a long time and they are inexpensive to buy and fit a new one down the track anyway. Cheers!
For a longer lasting lube try bar and chain oil it's oil with tacking agents to prevent sling off works for chainsaw chains turning 800 to 4000 plus rpms in dirty conditions will work great for a motorcycle chain turning much less rpms in a cleaner environment
Best I can do is this link to the parts diagram. Should have all the parts numbers. www.bike-parts-honda.com/honda-motorcycle/125-MOTO/CBF/2021/CBF125MM/41856
@@senolkilic6022 There's already an access hole in the cover that's supposed to be for lubing the chain, there's a rubber plug blocking it up. You can also access the sprocket from the other side of the wheel, with a long nozzle. You could drill a hole in the back, I guess, but it's not really necessary

Chain sounds so smooth on that thing!

Yeah I don't think my 10hp is going to put very much strain on that chain 😁

Wondering why here in Europe it is sold without a chain guard. Asia and many other countries it is sold with chain guard as standard.
I have no idea. I would imagine it would be available after market
They used to have a rubber plug in the cover you could remove to check and oil chain on ag bikes
Yeah this has an inspection hole but I find it rather pointless. It's only 4 bolts to remove the cover
Mine moto in EU came without chain guard you have. I want to buy it, but Honda doesn't want to help me.
La próxima vez que desmontes el cubre cadena podrías indicar la referencia de la pieza? Muchas gracias.

What's your odometer reading?
Go watch the oil change video. It's in there.
I don't like that guard, I am gonna get the other...
I don't mind it. Even if you get the bike with the guard on, it is pretty simple to remove
@@NicksBikes or I am gonna drill 30mm hole back side, klose the chain, what do you think?
