Honda CG125 Seized Centre Stand - My Fix (and a cat visit).

How I fixed the seized centre or main stand problem on my Honda CG125. Others might have a different solution but this worked for me. Should also apply to other small older Hondas like the CB125 etc.
...and a visit from the cat at the end.

You have absolutely nail it with that idea..
Like you mentioned it saves the frame holes from going oval plenty of grease too !

It has worked for about ten winters with just a couple of pumps of grease every now and again. Took it apart as I wanted to see how well it was holding up.

@@teacup8362 You could do a little video of that. A lot of people would be interested to see it. 🏍

Thinking about swapping from centre to side stand on my CG125 and wanted to eyeball the job, not sure I'm convinced about it yet but handy to see your tinkering!

I added an aftermarket side stand to mine - can't be seen in the video as it is on the other side. It is part of the foot rest setup that bolts on under the engine. I never use it and can't remember why I wanted it to be honest. Center stand is very useful for doing maintenance.
