  • At some point on some bike your clutch cable is going to break, they wear out and snap. Its unavoidable. This video shows how to replace the clutch cable on your CB125E. Honda part number for the cable is 22870-KPH-A00 by the way.
    This video is not one of our finest, it was done about two days after I had been mown down by a Jeep Grand Cherokee. So I'm sorry to say it doesn't meet our usual high standards but it will show you how to change your clutch cable.

    Hi. I have a problem installing my clutch cable. There is no tightness at the handlebar end. it,s slack and can,t be adjusted any advice would be welcome. Thanks, great video by the way.
    it,s a unusual bike a Genata CS125, no no one has heard of it either . Getting parts is a nightmare.

    Hey mate, have one of these as a little commuter, any certian heated grips you would recommend it gets bloody cold at 6am on the central coast, the ones you have installed seem interesting

    Hope you heal up quickly! Just put a chain on my repairable write off bike. Paid very little for it. The clutch seems to whine. Is that normal? My ST1100 has a characteristic whistling sound.

    Hey mate, you seem to be pretty consistent in responding to comments here, it's unrelated to this video, but related to a previous video about the spada.
    I'm currently repairing a spada to be registered and used as a beginner bike for myself and my partner, I've ridden the bike up and down my street for around 15-20 minutes at a time and the temp gauge has never moved up, and the rad fan has never kicked in. I know the fan works, because I've ground out the connector and had it come on. But I'm unclear on how to fix the nature of the gauge not moving, and the sensor not turning it on itself, and internet forums dont have a whole lot of info on the spada. Is this an issue you've had any experience with / know how to remedy with that bike in particular?

    Can you link me to the supplier that you got your clutch cable from

    So, this literally happened to me last night while riding my beloved 125e. The clutch handle got floppy and started feeling wonky, not engaging the same way, still wanting to move forward when stopped at traffic lights with clutch fully in etc etc.
    Now, I don't have a cracked rib, a hematoma or very sore tail bone but, I do have achey feet and can swear a lot so, I'm hoping that qualifies me to change the clutch cable. 😁

      Oh yes, you qualify. At the time this video was made my objective was not to replace the clutch cable, merely to survive the attempt. 😀

I will get back into it in the new year, I've been forced to have a break due to events in the last nine months or so, not limited to the fact that I am still damaged from the accident. But I'm always happy whenever someone comments positively or tells me how a video has helped them. Enjoy your silly season

      Same to you mate. Take care, get well. The bikes will be there waiting.
      You mention a big bore kit and conversion something... Do you have, or can you point me in the direction of, that info? As a new rider (60yo) I've bought the 125 as a trainer. Gotta say, I love it. I jump between it and my XVS650A, progressively building up experience and confidence with each new skill. So much fun.
      Does the big bore kit on a 125 change things much?

    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)

    • @highoctanecommuting3862
      @highoctanecommuting3862  2 місяці тому

      If everything is loosened right off it should fit and probably have a lot of movement. The word seller implies eBay and not a genuine part. Ebay can be a mixed bag as many sellers stock Chinese motorcycle parts and home wares in equal amounts and have no clue about either (sorry, but your CB was made in China). This concerns me. I can only suggest you have a few friends over to check your work. If you all reach the same conclusion it may well be that the cable is simply not correct. You certainly need to have a little play (loose movement and no tension) when the clutch is released or it may well slip or wear out quickly. You can cheat by removing say 5mm of the casing the cable is encased in. This will mean more of the cable itself will be presented. The metal caps at clutch lever end of the casing can often be removed with a bit of work and this will allow you to carefully cut away the plastic casing. Don't accidentally cut or fray your cable. Doing this will void any warranty the part might have and possibly make your cable unusable if it doesn't work out. Good luck and let us know how it went?

      @@highoctanecommuting3862 Hey there, thanks for your quick amswer with the explanation! It's helped me to order an original one, even the one I bought it looked was from a good place, the price was very similar. I just got it yesterday and installed it today, for that i did not replay before. It fits perfectly, same as your video! ... The only thing, when I tried to go for a ride i couldn't turn the engine on 😂. I think the time not using it makes something in the battery or i have done something accidentally with some cables, lights on but still the spark not happen, will see later with your video about that... Thanks for the learning, very useful, cheers mate!!!

    Can you plz make a video on how to replace cylinder head cover gasket because I have the same motorbike and it's leaking oil
    I think your motorbike is leaking oil too as I can saw in video

    • @highoctanecommuting3862
      @highoctanecommuting3862  3 роки тому +1

      Yep, our bike is indeed weeping oil :) As it is not gushing oil the intention is to rectify it when the valve clearances are checked. There is a video on checking valve clearances. If you remove the rocker cover as described in that video and replace the gasket with a new one that should get you out of trouble.

      thank you for the catalog number.
      It is difficult for an individual to make a money transfer abroad in Russia. thank you for the link to the spare parts store, but there is also no online selection for CB125E/GLG125SH . and thank you again for the high-quality videos on the repair of this motorcycle.
