Great video with clear explainations. I was told also to add oil on the sealing part before i put them in place (drain washer, seal of the oil filtrer, O-ring of the oil filter cap). It is also important for those not having a torque wrench to not over tighten the bolts... you have mentionned it's always easier to add oil than remove some... i think it's also easier to add extra torque on a drain bolt that would suffer a mini mini leak instead of fixing a damaged thread. A last advice for those who have not torque wrench, it safe to check the proper tightening of bolts periodically especially after the few first rides. Anyway, very nice video, thank you for sharing. Thumb up from France 👍
The manual says 4000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. I wouldn’t mind doing it a bit more often if you want to look after the bike long term. It’s supposed to be the best preventative maintenance for an engine.
I didn't I'm afraid. It was quite easy, just screw the wires onto the battery, and use cable ties to fix the cable underneath the tank. The cap's broken off the USB connector now, so I might replace it and I'll film it if I do!
I've had the valve cover off on mine but because I can't find any definitive information on the valve clearances on this particular engine I've not been tempted to muck around with it. Nothing on this model appears to be remotely compatible with the old CBF125 so I don't completely trust copying the valve clearances for that model. I'm thinking I'll send my bike off to the mechanic to check valve clearances and then check for myself to see what the mechanic set the valves at. But at ~7000 kilometres it's not likely the valves will need adjusting yet anyway, so I could still use the feeler gauge to see where they're at now. I run myself around in circles wondering if I SHOULD just guess.
Valve clearances is next for me. A guy asked his honda garage and they said intake 0.08 +/- 0.02, exhaust 0.20 +/- 0.02 so I might just check with my branch before going with that. I agree, there's very little information as the bikes are still quite new but hopefully as more people get up to those mileages they'll share more info. I thought I'd get started with the oil change!
Sir I have a Honda sp 125 (cb 125 f) 2022 model...I used idemitsu irg5 10w30 mobil on my bike.is this mobil good?.. .so which is the best mobil for this bike.
The manual says: Honda 4-stroke motorcycle oil API Service Classification SG or higher, excluding oils marked as “Energy Conserving” or “Resource Conserving,” SAE 10W-30, JASO T 903 standard MA. If you can understand all that, you're a better man than I am.
Yes, not too hard. Work on the right hand side of the bike, take off the side panel and loosen/slide back the rear plastic (grey on mine) That takes one bolt, one screw and two plastic panel pins. Then unscrew the cover housing and wiggle it free. The filter itself has a little tab on the bottom to locate it.
Possibly the UK. it's the content that is important. Also this man knows what he is doing, using correct tools, including a torque wrench. This man is a compedent mechanic ! Watch and learn how to do basic mainenance on your vehicle. And be taught correct techneques.
Thanks mate! Loved that you mentioned the torque needed for the bolts !
Thank you for this detailled description. We successfully serviced my grandson's Honda.
@@uwemarkus8875 That’s excellent, well done. I fondly remember servicing my first car with my Dad.
Cheers mate, done my first oil change following your video. Easy. Will come back for advice on the next thing I don’t know how to do 😂
Glad to hear it, thanks! Let me know what the thing is if I haven't done it yet.

Hi! Thanks for video!
Need to replacement air filter?
I would recommend changing the o ring every time you change filter. Otherwise 😢😢😢😢
Nice vid. Where did you get the torque specs . The user manual provides very little information.
Now you mention it, I've no idea! I wouldn't have said it without a good reason, but I honestly don't remember where I found that.
Good job
Thanks for the vid.How often/ after how many miles do you change the oil?

Great 🎉 Do you have a video for USB Charger on CB125F

Hi, what size/brand oil filter does this bike use? Thanks
See packet at 0:19. I just bought the genuine honda one because I couldn't easily see a 3rd party model. There might be more available now.
Can this oil be poured into this motorcycle "Motul 7100 10w40 Fully Synthetic" ??
The engine have a very good grunt for a honda bike. In India honda bikes sounds like battery bikes.
What is this button left to the power button?
@@vasilismanatos8288 Do you mean the bicycle bell? Just thought it would be funny.
Hi Richard are you planning to do an air filter change by any chance ? Videos are great thanks
Good idea, thanks! I did have a look at it but it was still very clean. I'll film that one for sure when I do it.
Thank you . Is it a simple process ?
Yes, not too hard. Work on the right hand side of the bike, take off the side panel and loosen/slide back the rear plastic (grey on mine) That takes one bolt, one screw and two plastic panel pins.

Sir ,but I am speaking from India ( kolkata)
13nm for drain plug ???
30NM :-)
In india we call this bike as SP125
What is the Price($) in india ?
