2023 Honda CB125F Oil Filter Change and Chain Adjustment - Basic Tool Service

[@wixee123]

Hey Nick, I find a cheaper alternative to degreaser is half petrol half diesel for chain cleaning and general degreasing etc. paint brush or spray bottle, works a treat.!!

[@wixee123]

Can’t believe how filthy that oil is.. I changed mine today.. oil change no 2 @ 1000km and it was horrid.. the 500km was twice as bad..

[@TheGentlemensLounge-d6h]

checked my chain today on my cb125f, still at 25mm after 1000 miles from new, it did start at 20mm so not stretched too badly, love these maintanence videos, learning alot from them for my own work, the only thing i adjusted so far though was to take some slack out of the throttle, has to be done at the throtle body on this bike which is annoying

[@ripmax333]

No, you don't need to do it on the Throttle body, one of the cables near the twist grip has a rubber gaiter covering the adjustment nut, if I'm Not mistaken it's the Top One.

[@NicksBikes]

Yeah, this is right. It's on the throttle end

[@TheGentlemensLounge-d6h]

@@NicksBikes not on these bikes, there's no lever end adjustments

@@TheGentlemensLounge-d6h I'll do a video of mine tomorrow. You might be able to identify a difference in the models, maybe.

[@TheGentlemensLounge-d6h]

@@NicksBikes maybe i'm wrong, i'll have to double check, might be me just being an idiot (which is prob most likely), i know there's no lever end adjustemnts on clutch or brakes, maybe i just assumed there's none on the throttle as well

From my experience of the i would say every time the oil filter is changed fit a new o ring to the cap. Do not re use o ring. Cars that use open filter you always get a new o ring in box. Had one leak out of it . Had to quickly nip to local honda for new o ring..

[@NicksBikes]

Mate Honda must love you! Nah, I joke, this is solid advice, chalk it up to another "Don't Do What Nick Does" if you will, but I'm 12,000 km in without a leak yet and so long as the o-ring is not cracked, twisted or deformed, it should hold. I'll keep the original one in for as long as I can, until it leaks because now I'm super curious just how long it can actually last

[@shanekaye2918]

@NicksBikes Keep a eye on it 👀 😏

[@ripmax333]

That filthy colour of the Oil is due to the constant beating at 8 to 9k rpm of the engine to hold its power on inclines and for speeds above 70km/h😅 That oil has the worst job of all inside the engine😂 Looking forward to the new fuel injector upgrade and see the results.

[@NicksBikes]

@@kufudokungfu yeah just give it some elbow grease and it'll loosen up
