I had to put mine on the charger this spring! Don’t forget you can still push start these find a hill dropper in first and go! Good luck my friend I’ve got a 2019 blue and white fun little bike I ever had! I’ve had over 15 motorcycles! I like riding on curvy less traveled Secondary roads

I just wanted to let you know you can actually push start the c125 cub. Ignition on, kill switch to run position. Shift the bike into first. Push the bike, applying a little throttle. The bike will start right up. Shift to neutral and let it idle. Super easy . It's good to know you can jump start it easily too. Thanks!

@@pauldavis7903 Hi Paul. Yes you can. How do I know this? Because I've done it, much to the amusement of my coworkers at the Harley dealership I work at, lol. Anyone that owns a cub, trail cub, passport, etc will tell you these bikes do not have a centrifugal clutch. They have a multiplayer wet clutch that disengages when you shift.

why cant they make it like the old cub with kickstart old way but works even with fully dead battery

They brought the kick start back for 2021 year Cubs finally I’m thinking about picking one up

The good news is you can jump start these bikes just by pushing and dropping them into gear..

Honda literally built-in an issue that never existed in 60years of the cub . They added fancy electronics that aren't necessarily and to be honest on a small bike with small battery are a liability and add nothing to the overall experience.

I was trying to decide between this and the trail 125. I’m glad the 125 comes with the kickstart.

*The battery was WEAK...not 'dead'* (The starter-relay engaged and tried to 'turn-over' the engine but was not creating sufficient 'RPM's' for continuous operation to begin)

Honda placed the hex key to open that panel under the seat. However you can't open the seat when the battery is flat. Go figure. Whoever at Honda thought this keyless fob system was better than just a key should've been fired as they forgot the reasons why the cub was the worlds best selling motorbike. And that keyless system is the main reason why I will not buy one.

In some big cities like London thugs push you off and steal your scooter before you have chance to remove the key. With this system it cannot happen. Because with the keyless fob in your pocket as soon as they are a few meters out of range the bike stops. It’s called progress. Phenomenal isn’t it !

If the battery hasn’t enough power, you can push start it

@scoobylol1987 2 жыл бұрын

@@nbgen This is only true if the battery has enough power to turn the bike on and allow you to unlock the steering lock. As for Honda global considering London gangs that’s a bit of a stretch. It’s probably cheaper these days to make the PCBs than it is to make ignition barrels with thousands of keys. As a happy owner of two C100’s and a C125 I hate to say there’s nothing progressive about it. Although it’s a wonderful bike with stylistic nods to the past they missed the ball totally on the keyless system. It’s awful.

The bike won’t die when you remove the fob. Mine wont quit.

You dont need to unscrew the side panels. It is a bit of a knack, but if you rock the battery cover side-side gently it will come off no problem without damaging the clips.

So the question is WHY was your battery so low on a bike that new? I’m buying a 2019, and I’ll put a quick disconnect on it for my battery tender, I hope there’s an opening to route the charging wire.

@sherryberrywollenburg6482 3 жыл бұрын

When the battery starts to go dead, before it’s all the way dead, will it just make clicking sounds? That is what mine is doing, it’s not starting and is making clicking sounds. I am not quite understanding what you did with the screwdriver - girl here, brand new cub owner, skill level is that opposite of a mechanic but want to and need to learn. Thank you!

Guess he used the screwdriver just because he couldn't fixate the clamp anywhere.

I have a 50cc super cub a few years older than this one. I haven't ridden it for a couple of years and yesterday, when I thought it was time to turn it over, the battery was dead. So I jump started it and rode it for an hour or more. While I was out I realised that although the indicator lights came on, they wouldn't flash. Then, at the end, I discovered the battery was still dead. Does this mean I need a new battery? If you jumpstart, how long riding about, should it take for the battery to fully charge? No idea about electricity, but I assume it will charge while riding about?

@AlstarPalmer 2 жыл бұрын

Not if it sat dead for too long. By now I’m sure you know if it held a charge. These batteries are different from with you in my arms. When they’re dead they’re dead.

Any idea what the story is if the blue light on the starter button doesnt even come on??

@tomsaltezza 3 жыл бұрын

means the smart key system is disabled. it’s a good idea to disable it if you’re parked at home, as the smart key system drains the battery really quick. you can enable it again before u start the bike by holding on to the Key Logo button on your smart key.
