Honda CT 125 An Exhaust System That Makes A Difference

[@TeamDNFracing]

I'm sure there are those of you that read the comments, thank you for taking the time to do that, I try to read all of them and answer them as well. However, there are those that just have to comment on here about how I should just leave the "Scooter" alone and "it's really not a motorcycle" and more that cuts the bike down. AND PISSES ME OFF. I appreciate all of the things that people have done to this little bike, the fun factor of it is beyond words to describe it. Even with the short falls the bike came from the factory with, it was really fun to ride, I've just made mine a lot more fun for me to ride. The nice thing about that, is there are thousands of people out there doing the same to theirs..... All I can say is: Go For It..........

@@rodneysherwin4489 Finally got part of a day without rain so I took the bike out for a shakedown on the new swingarm and exhaust pipe. Wow, you're going to like the results in the next video. It pulls better now, a lot better and I set a new speed run for my bike with it......

[@montgomery9140]

Thanks, I’ll let you know.

[@willyd-adv]

So cool. Picking up my 2023 Yellow CT tomorrow and have binge watched all your videos for inspiration 😊

[@TeamDNFracing]

I should let you know that as of now, there is not very much that can be done to the Gen 2 engine to gain power on it. There are small engine hop-up shops all over Thailand as the small bikes have been in SE Asia for decades. However, when Honda introduced the Gen 2 engine last year on the Dax, it was brand new and not very much interest here to hop-up the Dax engine so it appears no one is even trying to do it. We now have three Gen 2 bikes in our little riding group and tried to see how we could get a little more snap out of the bike. We tried to just change out the countershaft sprocket from a stock 14T to a 13T. Well, Honda made changes on the Gen 2 CT125 engine from its origins from the Dax engine to where we could not get any 13T sprockets to fit the CT Gen 2 countershaft and retainer clip set up. So, we went to the rear wheel which by the way is still a hold over part from the Honda Wave 125i. We installed a 42T rear sprocket and a slightly longer chain to accommodate the four more teeth from the stock 38T rear sprocket. This improved the snap on the lower end of the RPM's and helped with acceleration a lot. We currently are trying to acquire a completely new exhaust system from the same company that built the pipes we are using on two of our Gen 1 engined bikes...... Good luck with your new bike, they are a blast to ride, but right now, there aren't much modifications that you can do to improve the power of the Gen 2 bikes...... Hope this helps and thanks for the comment....

Seems like we'll be having nice weather again and Daniel and I are going out tomorrow for another trail ride...... Should be a good one, got plenty of trails to explore and a couple good places to stop and have a meal and a cold beer........

[@Vintage_Garage]

KZbin suggested this one yesterday, so I watched it aging.. a real classic with useful information. I think this is the same exhaust that was on El Diablo when I rode it a year ago, but now I need to watch a few more Lazy Dog videos to be sure. I had my second cataract surgery today, and it might have worked. I won't know for a couple of days. Still looking for your Enduro video. I got a brief clip form Daniel, and when you went through the "log fan", I had you in the top 10% for sure. You were the only one to make it through there cleanly,. Way beyond my skill level.

[@jaywinters2483]

please show how much louder it is

[@TeamDNFracing]

Ok, the sound of the new exhaust system is very similar to that of the Diablo exhaust system only the head pipe is larger that it frees up the exhaust gases and allows the bike better power. The sound from the Murazaki system is no different than that of any other quality exhaust system. My next video with El' Diablo in it, I'll set there with the GoPro within 18 inches of the tip of the exhaust and do some high revs on it to show what it sounds like..... Thanks for the comment

[@CharlesCole-m1b]

Thanks again for the video and info , last i looked on comments, i cant get that exhaust in the usa ? Please tell me its not so 😢, once again thanks for al the great vids 👍

[@TeamDNFracing]

You're not going to like this, but you probably can't get it in the US. Most of the items we can get won't be available to the US market. Try Beezdeals and ask them if they can get the Murazaki exhaust pipe for the Gen 1 CT 125 for you. They are the only ones I know that might be able to ship to the US....

[@CharlesCole-m1b]

@TeamDNFracing mines the gen 2 , but thanks , found the Thailand shop , no translation, rats ....thanks for the ideas though 🤔

[@TeamDNFracing]

@@CharlesCole-m1b The only exhaust systems we've come across so far for the Gen 2 bikes are extremely expensive. Yoshimura is one of them. I've asked the murazaki guys several times about supplying a full pipe for the Gen 2 and so far all they have is the headpiece which then you have to have the stock muffler cut off and welded to the head pipe from Murazaki. Surprisingly it works very well. We did a video on the Gen 2 Big Bore Kit and the guy who owns the bike had that pipe set up on his bike.....

[@henrythefifth9993]

[@MudMonky1]

Hey good job.... Man after my own heart. I like a can I can hear, but doesn't loosen my filling! Did I miss it? did you tell where you got the pipe from.... I'm very interested in fitting a crisp pipe.... This sound good. Where can I find this pipe..... Cheers mate.

[@TeamDNFracing]

Ok, this pipe is available from a hop-up-shop here in Thailand called Murazaki Shop. They have several locations located throughout Thailand and I bought my pipe from an on line shopping network called: Shopee.co.th Check them out on line, you can look under the heading for CT 125 and you should get like 12 pages of items for the bike. Once you find this pipe, don't expect to get it as there are regulations here that prevents sites like Shopee from sending items to the US. Go to the Murazaki web page direct and contact them about getting a pipe and having it shipped to you. There are a lot of people that are interested in this pipe, but I'm not real sure you can get it in the US......

[@MudMonky1]

Thanks for the info. @@TeamDNFracing

[@Edward-Norton]

Did you ever mention the brand of exhaust and where you got it? I like the stock appearance and throaty sound. I would like to something similar. It looked like it was well made.

[@TeamDNFracing]

The exhaust I use now and have since I did this video is from a shop here in Thailand called: Murazaki Shop, so we just call it the Murazaki exhaust. They found out what works best with the 143cc BBK at the head pipe and then had these pipes made to their specs. Still don't know who actually makes the pipes, but they are available from Murazaki Shop still until the Gen 1 pipes run out and after that, it will be the real expensive pipes if you want one.

[@Edward-Norton]

@@TeamDNFracingThanks. They do have a website and I can translate it to English through Chrome settings. I sent them an email to see if they ship to the US.

[@TeamDNFracing]

@@Edward-Norton I was talking to Robert today about maybe getting a spare pipe for our Gen 1 bikes just in case we smash one up or it breaks like Roberts did one day. Getting them welded is not a simple job. We probably will as once the Gen 1 supply is depleted, that will probably be the end of them....

[@mike-indiana6643]

Well sir i see your still at it ! I love how you always going for a improvment in power speed etc. And that why im a subscriber. I tell ya sir i sure like the sound on that exhaust. To each his own right . With that said i really like the way dans exhaust tucks up close to the bike. It hard to tell how far that one sticks out. Thanks for video appericate it. Mike in indiana

[@TeamDNFracing]

Mike, thanks for the comment. This exhaust tucks in closer than my Diablo does, which actually surprised me it did. The reason it looks out there a bit is the stock exhaust heat shields are spaced away from the pipe at least an inch. Makes things look fatter.... It kind of looks like the stock exhaust until you get around the rear of it and look at it from the top and back..... On the short test ride I did, it sure felt like it had a lot more speed than the Diablo did. My guess, and I'm going to find out for sure, is this might run well over 100KPH, which means maybe I can get the bike up above the 60 to 65 MPH range....... I hope it does, just to say it will do it.... It definitely has a much better pull than before......

[@DrDennis]

Hey fellow Okie. That’s what a 125 should sound like. 👍

[@TeamDNFracing]

I went from stock to a Diablo and then to this one, which for the love of God, I don't know the name of it, but the sound is definitely sweet music from heaven...... I'm still trying to find out who made this and what the name of it is. When I find out, I'll do another video to tell the world. It is a really throaty sound that rivals the sound from my Triumph twin..... Hard to believe, but I'll do a side by side to let everyone know what I mean....... Thanks for the comment......

[@findingneutral]

That's excellent! Looks great, sounds even better, and that extra performance 🤯. Cannot wait to see what you have in store testing grounds wise for this.

[@TeamDNFracing]

Took it out finally and did a speed run just to see what it will do, hit 102 KPH and still had throttle to go when I ran out of straight road ahead of me..... I'm thinking it'll do 105 KPH with no head wind and flat straight road..... Probably won't get a chance to do that as not many straight pieces of highway around where I live that isn't under construction....... I shot some video of the test ride, went up a small mountain and it pulled strong when I asked it to and some dirt riding and putting around in second gear was smooth and power anytime I needed..... I like it a lot better than the Diablo.......

[@delavan9141]

I'm pretty sure that what you called a "power bomb" is a catalytic converter. I appreciate your videos because I'm thinking of buying a CT 125 in the Philippines and making some of the mods you've done. But I would try to have the catalytic converter welded into whatever pipe setup I install. Motos are very polluting in 3rd world countries due to lack of regulation, probably more polluting than a typical car, which is apparent any time a little bike passes me on the road and I need to hold my breath for a little while until the exhaust dissipates.

[@TeamDNFracing]

Yes it is the catalytic converter for the stock pipe. If you plan on using it, you will still be running a very restricted head pipe size and that is where the power increase came from on my bike is by using a larger unrestricted head pipe. I think you'd be better off finding an aftermarket exhaust that has a catalytic converter incorporated in the design that will not hinder the exhaust flow like the stock converter does........ My bad on labeling the Cat the power bomb which it is not..... Good catch on your part......

[@Edward-Norton]

Are after market parts for these bikes really cheap in Thailand since they are all made there? In the States they are not.

[@TeamDNFracing]

Most all of the aftermarket parts we've used are made here in Thailand and yes, they are considerable cheaper than in the states. Like anywhere from 5 to 10 times cheaper......

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I don't believe they do, however, you can ask them yourself on Facebook here: Murazaki Shop. Check them out, they may just ship that pipe to you. If they do, let me know and I'll plug them in a video and let others have a good exhaust system too....

I wanted to know if you could somehow send a link or guide me towards who I can buy the same exhaust you have and I also want to do the 142cc upgrade. If you have any info that can help me find those 2 upgrades I would be very appreciative. Thank you for all of yr videos. Yr bike is a little beast. I love it

[@TeamDNFracing]

I hope this info helps you out. The pipe is sold by a shop here in Thailand called Murazaki Shop and they have a Facebook page with listings for many of their aftermarket items. They have them for many of the small engine bikes sold here in SE Asia. I purchased the pipe from an on-line shopping network here in Thailand called Shopee.co.th You can find the pipe in there, but I'm not sure if they will ship to the US. As for the Big Bore Kit (BBK) the one I use is from another shop in Thailand called iTimgarage and they also have a Facebook page. You may be able to buy direct from that Facebook site, not sure. I purchased the BBK from the same on-line shopping network. Here are some alternatives for the BBK: Kitaco, Takagawa, Koso and Yuminashi. I've heard some problems were found with the Takagawa kits from a few people on a CT forum. So, be careful looking into that one. However, the Yuminashi kit is highly recommended by people on this same CT forum. They can be reached at www.yuminashi.eu and the kit #12103-K26-5613A Hope this helps and keep watching my channel...

What is the name of the stainless steel exhaust on your Honda 125 CT trail I want it for mine and what is the swingarm and sprocket size do you have for yours I would also like to do that to mine

[@TeamDNFracing]

The name of the exhaust pipe is Murazaki pipe and the name of the company that sells them is Murazaki Shop and I got them from a home shopping network called Shopee.co.th Look them up on the internet and type CT125 on the search bar. Lots of items for sale for the CT. The rear sprocket is a 42T made by Jomthai here in Thailand and is made for the Honda Wave 125i which used the same rear wheel assembly as the CT125. The Gen 1 and Gen 2 CT125 both use the same rear wheel assembly so the Wave 125i sprocket for the rear wheel fits them both. The front sprocket on the Gen 2 CT125 is new for 2023 so a 2023 Honda CT125 sprocket is the only one that will fit as of now. No company here has made them available as of yet. The swing arm is made by a company called NUI Racing Project and is also available on Shopee.co.th You will save 5 pounds of weight with the new swing arm over the heavy stock one.... Hope this helps...

Sweet ride Okie, plus a Heavenly gorgeous country you live in. Awe rain showers , none like that in Nevada ! Any news 2022 C T TRAIL 150 ? What about a retuned electric fuel injection map with new free flow exhaust? And air filter upgrade ? You never mentioned exhaust manufacturer / where to buy ? CT 125 in US of A nearly impossible to find or purchase $ 5K > 6K usd. . Can you reccomend an Exporter Honda CT 125 > SIERRA NEVADA ? Thank you for doing these nice videos, for us all around the world..

[@TeamDNFracing]

Great comment, that's a lot for me to answer. Thanks for the compliment on my bike, I always appreciate those. Yes, Thailand is a beautiful country to live in and the tropical climate is a must for old farts like me, the food suits me well also. We are still in the rainy season, so lots of rain this time of year, easier riding in the dry season.... As for the CT 150, I've heard some rumbling that it is in the works, but no confirmation yet. As soon as I get that, then I'll be making another video on it and then try to get Honda to let me test one here in Thailand as soon as they come out... Hope..... I've also not heard anything about a retuned map, but I do know that there are shops here in Thailand that are doing it to spunk up the performance on the stock engine. I can also tell you from experience, that on my bike with the BBK it came with a different injector for it. That injector is right off the Honda PCX 150 and that is why I get plenty of fuel without having to re-map the ECU. Something that someone needs to try with a free flowing exhaust and air filter.... That alone could wake this little engine up and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to do it..... The reason I didn't mention the exhaust manufacturer is because I don't know who made this pipe yet. Still researching that. I bought it from an on line shopping network and there were several different shops selling the pipe, but there was no name of the brand. I believe it is possible that it came from Japan, not sure yet, but when I find out, I'll be doing another video on it. I do not know any Import/Export companies here in Thailand. That is something that might jeopardize my Visa status and I'm not messing with that..... Don't really want to get deported...... My pleasure to do the videos, I like making them.......

The exhaust is offered by a big shop here in Thailand, I believe Bangkok. The name is Murazaki Shop. They have a Facebook page so they may sell items overseas. What they've done is sent the specs they wanted for an exhaust to an exhaust specialist here in Thailand and they built it to the specs from Murazaki Shop. It is a cone type of exhaust but the good part on it is the head pipe is 19mm in size which is what the iTimgarage shop which puts the Big Bore Kit together suggests to get the numbers they did on the dyne....

There is a motorcycle accessory store here in Thailand that had these pipes built to their specific specs by an independent shop. They have not put a name on the pipe. However, if you go to Shopee.co.th which is the home shopping network that I purchased the pipe form, you can see the pipe for sale on there, get the picture of it onto your computer and then go to the shops Facebook page and inquire if they will sell and ship one to you. The name of the shop that sales them is Murazaki Shop. Mention that you saw the pipe on my KZbin Chanel and they may just set you up with one. Now, I am pretty sure it will help out the performance of the stock engine, but I don't know for sure because we have never installed this pipe on a stock engine, just the ones with the Big Bore Kit on them. One of my riding buddies, Daniel installed a pipe from Maruwaki on his bike before he went with the Big Bore Kit and it really did improve his performance, enough so that in a drag race with my BBK and his stock engine, he stayed with me in 1st and 2nd gears before my extra HP started to pull away from him in 3rd and 4th.... Hope this helps.....

Hello matey! What the name of this exhaust and when does one buy one? Cheers.

[@TeamDNFracing]

There is not a name on the exhaust system, but it is made by a shop here in Thailand and distributed by a retail shop supplier called Miyazaki. They have a Facebook page, look it up. They offer a lot of products on this Facebook page but also offer them on an on line shopping network here in Thailand. Sadly, this network does not allow them to ship outside of Thailand. The US cost of the pipe is $200 US. Very reasonable price. Look them up and message them and see if you can buy direct from them. My understanding from them is they made a set of specs for the pipe and have a shop build them. They are selling a lot of them so you may be able to get them to ship direct to you. The pipe is a big improvement over the Diablo pipe I did have on it. Robert, one of my riding buddies just bought one of these pipes for his bike.

I have been going to the little country of Belize over here since 1980 . It has a tropical 🌦 rainy and dry season also . Just the mountain area is further south . If became available, would an exhaust system like this be beneficial to a stock engine ? If there was a " question " in the video 📹 , I missed it !

[@TeamDNFracing]

I really can't say whether it would be beneficial to a stock engine or not, but I don't see why it wouldn't be. the big advantage this pipe has over stock is when the exhaust gases go into the pipe itself. The header pipe is larger and has a smooth transition from the cylinder head to the exhaust head pipe. I think I mentioned in the video that this pipe is just like doing a port job on a bikes intake and exhaust system. the smoother the transition, the better the power will be. Less turbulence creates more power. That is why a free flowing intake and a free flowing exhaust optimizes the power available in the engine....... It should be better.......

[@williammccaslin8527]

Great sounding pipe, An from what I could tell it seemed to increase the performance of the bike, what make was it an how much in USD. THX FOR THE VID

[@TeamDNFracing]

The cost came out to about $155 US shipped to my door..... I'm like you, I feel like it pulls harder and longer, so it might top 100 KPH and keep going. I'll find out very soon and do another video on it.....Still don't know the brand as it has no labels on it and I can't read the Thai writing on the add..... I'm still trying to find out and when I do, I'll be sure to let everyone know......

That bike now sounds like a 500cc bike. Amazing difference. How did the black heat shield work out? Black both absorbs and radiates heat the best, but paint doesn't conduct heat as well as metal, so I'd expect that your calf might get warmer, but you won't burn as badly if you touch the shield. White paint would actually be best, but it would be ugly.

[@TeamDNFracing]

Finally got it out for a ride, it pulls stronger all the way through the gears and ranges of RPM. Got it up to 102 KPH before I ran out of straight road, it still had some beans left in the pot also. I'm guessing 106 maybe 107 KPH is possible......

That sounds Great and big differences between the three, how much heavier do you think the stock one is over the other two.?🤷🏻‍♂️ Mine will be here this week. 😎👍👏🥳✅

[@TeamDNFracing]

The stock exhaust weighs over 5 pounds, you can save at least 4 pounds or more by going after market. That is a big difference, I was really surprised at how heavy the stock exhaust was..... You'll love riding the bike, they are a blast to scoot around on and going slower seems to open up more of what is around you which makes the ride even that much more enjoyable...... Congrats on the new bike........

The Honda CT125/Trail125 Hunter Cub is considered a step through 'motorcycle'👈, but is not considered 👉 a... scoot·er /ˈsko͞odər/ noun 1. a light two-wheeled open motor vehicle on which the driver sits over an enclosed engine with legs together and feet resting on a floorboard.

You'd be surprised at how many people they load up on the little bikes here in Thailand. I've seen four up a lot, but not sure about 5 up....... ;-)

[@SpencerfosterDDPY]

I need this exhaust system! Where did you order it from?

[@TeamDNFracing]

Spencer, I got it off an on line shopping network here in Thailand. Here is the link to it: Shopee.co.th Bad thing is, they won't ship overseas. I'm still trying to find out the brand of this pipe so I can let everyone know about it. It appears to be manufactured in Japan, but has no name plates on it...... thanks for the comment......

[@katielin2379]

What is the brand of paint you used?

[@TeamDNFracing]

It is a brand sold in Thailand called PYLAC PRO paint code P-05.... Manufactured by Nippon Paint. It is labeled as a Flat Black, but has a Satin Black finish.... Hope this helps and thanks for the comment......

[@mattshawfitness]

That sounds sick man. I just put the new yoshi pipe on mine and love the sound upgrade

[@TeamDNFracing]

With the great sound that the pipe gives me, I don't really care if it gives me more power or not, just really like the tone coming out the end of that exhaust.... Plus, I won't overheat my leg anymore......

[@bultacowally]

My God man the little bike only has what, 8 HP to start with. So ANY aftermarket pipe you waste your money on will at best make a couple of tenths of a HP difference which most likely you will never notice. MAYBE another MPH if you are lucky. Yeah I know you can "feel" the difference...just like back when we were kids and attached playing cards to the rear spokes on our bicycles and got another 10 MPH out of them because of the motor sound. All you accomplished is to make more noise...just what this planet need from the humans. DUH!!!

[@TeamDNFracing]

Well geez Wally, who shit in your cornflakes this morning. The reason this exhaust makes a difference is it has a 19 mm head pipe on it. Yes, it is only 2mm larger than the stock one, but hey, where only talking 8 HP from stock here. So, with the Big Bore Kit, better air flow (much more O2 going into the combustion chamber) a larger fuel injector (again, much more fuel going into the combustion chamber) means you have to have a way for all of that combusted gasses to escape. So, we needed a better exhaust system, this one made a difference. Not just in performance but oh yes, the sound is so sweet. So, enough about performance or should I put up what that puny little 8 HP engine puts out now... Yea, I'll put it up. Here are the Dyno numbers: 12.08 HP and 11.74 NM of torque. I didn't do this to go faster, I could care less on how fast the bike is. What matters to me is where I ride the bike off road in the mountain areas around Chiang Mai, Thailand and to do it safely, it needed more Torque to go with that HP increase. Now I have it and I'll be the first one to admit. Honda missed the boat on this engine, it barely has enough power to get out of it's own way, let alone climb steep hilly single track terrain. You do what you want to do to your bike and I'm very happy with the way my bike now performs and especially the way it sounds.... So, let me know how your bike runs and what you've done to it to make it a "BETTER" machine, because mine definitely is better than stock....

[@thebikegeekandmore2448]

Sir, personally I think the old exhaust sounded and looked much better but seems that your bike runs now smooter and revs out better. Right?

[@TeamDNFracing]

Yes it does run smoother and pulls a bit harder than the Diablo, but you never know, I may stick the old Diablo back on every now and then just to spice up the videos...... Thanks for the comment, always welcome.......

[@davestraight8219]

hooligan lmao - love the fact its hidden by the shield - my plan if i ever buy one - ct110 doesnt sound like that haha

[@TeamDNFracing]

It's a sleeper bike for sure Dave, love the more throaty sound from this exhaust compared to the Diablo.....Thanks for the comment.......

[@Pathfinder-Sarawak]

That exhaust looks great and sounds fantastic, and should help it breathe much better. The bike looks good with the stock heat shield too It should help the midrange power a l lot . How is that Triumph doing ? What is the Covid situation like there? Have you had your vaccination yet ?

[@TeamDNFracing]

Thanks for the comment Richard and yes that exhaust looks better than the Diablo. What little I've gotten to ride it was enough to know that it definitely pulls harder from the mid on up. Need to do a longer test and I'll video that one. The Triumph is doing great, trying to do some scouting on a long trip through the Northern mountains of Chiang Mai Province to ride with a few friends, but the rains have been raising hell with those plans. That bike is so much fun to ride and if you've ever ridden the Street Twin, you'll know that torque is oh so sweet. Stick it in third gear and lug all around the place. Very seldom need to down shift or up shift........ Great bike....... The Military Government has this placed locked down so much it is very difficult to go anywhere without getting told you can't go there. Sucks. Originally, the Thai Government, (Military) said they were going to vaccinate all Thai citizens before doing any foreigners. Pretty sad, right? Anyway, the US government sent over 2.5 million doses of Phizer for medical personal and any left over was to be given "FREE" to any foreigners over the age of 65, both doses. My wife had signed me up for Moderna at a cost of 1,600 Thai Baht, ($50 US). Shortly after signing up for the Moderna which won't be available till after the first of the year, the announcement of the Phizer offer came out. Got my first shot, the next one is the 23rd.......

[@daveinwla6360]

@@TeamDNFracing Excellent! ANY vaccine is better than no vaccine. I got the 2-shot Moderna, and it's a great mental relief to know I'm going to die of something else besides Covid-19. :-)
