I received the regulator in the mail yesterday, thanks for sending that so quick. I am going to try and install it today but did notice a black wire. I have a 6v so run the 4 wire rectifier. Can I leave the black disconnected presuming the red lead still charges the battery via converted AC, the...

Money has been sent. I really appreciate the help. Cheers.

That works for me. Looks like your aways south in Albany. I think mail would be the best way to go. How should I go about getting you the cash?

Sonreir, Do you have a voltage regulator that would work with the 6v system? I'm in Portland so if your close I could pick it up. I have a sealed battery and read the output voltage at mid range rpm and it runs at 8v so I need to get it regulated before I ignite myself.

+1 for the 550. Clean bike means less money. Look for rust on spokes/rims/tank, actually everywhere. Light rust can be conquered with metal rescue or Apple cider vinegar but heavy rust means new parts. Brazing a gas tank full of pinholes can become a tedious and spendy process. If you can take a...

I have a 1975 CB125. I got a new throttle cable off of eBay for 20$. They are pretty easy to find. I also purchased a new throttle control from DCC for cheap and it works great. Clubmans on this bike are okay if you fit rearsets or don't mind a bit of an odd seating position. I got a set of...

Evening all. I was wondering if anyone here has used Harbor Frights timing light successfully? I have set the static timing on my CB125 and the the spark goes at the "F" mark. I was wanting to set the dynamic timing but do not have the cash flow at the moment to purchase a good strobe. If...

Yep.

I am trying to get a cb125s2 running but don't want to mess with the lights,accessories. So here is a brief synopsis of system. There are 4 leads coming from the alternator. Green/red going to neutral, pink,white, and yellow. White connects to a yellow/white and runs to the headlight control...

Im a little confused did you check compression at the plugs? Low compression in one cylinder usually indicates a bad exhaust valve. Low compression in two adjacent cylinders typically means you have a bad head gasket. Low compression in all cylinders would tell you the rings and cylinders are...

That sucks, I ran into similar issue with my 75 CB125. Sounds dumb but your ignition is on and switched to run right? I have to check as I spent 15 minutes trying to kick over a bike because of this. Also, I had a battery that died and showed good after charging but it was not alive enough to...

Yep, the bearings are sealed on both sides. Thanks for the quick response, I was sitting with wrench in hand waiting:)

Hey all. I am replacing the bearings on my CB125 and in the past I have packed the bearings, hub, and spacer with grease. I am using sealed bearings this time around so am wondering if I can skip packing the hub and spacer with grease. Any help is appreciated. Cheers

I purchased a 75 CB125 with a lost ignition key. I didn't want to buy a whole new ignition switch as I wanted a key that would match my steering and helmet lock. I contacted Mark T. Troxell at hondakeys.com and he sent me an old og Honda key to match my ignition. 15$ and 4 days later it arrived...

I am restoring a 1975 CB125 and am looking for parts. I have found most of it on ebay but wanted to support folks here if possible. Let me know what you have. Need for sure: Side covers Mirrors Seat, if in good condition Cheers.
