Well I found out the reason my cb125s was fouling plugs so bad. There is supposed to be a spring and an 0-ring installed with the pilot screw! they weren't there when I got the bike, but I've installed some since. I also lowered the float height a little more. Pilot screw is still all the...

Ever since i unplugged the hole in my main jet she's been running holy cow rich. i've tried lowering the float to the point that there was no gas in the carb at all, no change. I tried tightening the pilot screw all the way in, no change. Did I "open up" the jet when I unplugged it with a...

So a little while ago, I had her idling great and running well up to 1/8 throttle, when it fell on its face. Found out that the hole at the bottom of the main jet was clogged. (I didn't know there was supposed to be a hole lol) i opened up the hole and put the carb back together. Now it...

I finally got a brake light and a mirror on my scoot... Took it for a little ride today since it's 65 and sunny out. Snapped a couple pics as well. It's flat black for now but I'm thinkin white and black soon. Maybe a racing stripe. tell me what you think!

I got my cb125s running kinda good finally. had to play with the floats a lot. it's definitely rideable now, but still doesn't want more than a little bit of throttle. if i give it more than 1/8 - 1/4 throttle, it bogs down. If it's sitting in neutral it tries to die when i get a handful of...

I copied a fellow member's method posted in the $50 dollar mod thread and built a seat for my cb125s. I made the seat pan out of 3/4" MDF. The cowl is made of aluminum flashing for roofing. It's a little flimsy but it's all I could get at lowes. I rivited it with 1/8" rivets and attached the...

I've had it running a few times, but it just won't start for me anymore. I checked for spark by holding the plug against the head, it has spark when I turn it over. After I cranked it a bunch of times (til i got tired of kicking lol), I pulled the plug and it was wet with gas. I've got some...

>:( I got the bike (1978 cb125s) to run, even rode it a little. It never really ran right. Now, it will run for a few seconds, a minute tops, and die. When I pull the plug, it's black and wet with gas. If I clean the plug and put it back in, it starts on the 1st or second kick. Without...

1978 cb125s I got it running today. Clutch cable is still not hooked up, but I rode it around the block a few times anyways. Any more than 10% throttle bogs it down badly. Not sure what that means. It will rev up high if i give it a little throttle, but rolling onto the throttle just causes...

I haven't seen the bike yet, he's askin $1600. If it's low miles, in good shape, how much is it worth? He said it's roadworthy right now, clear title.

I am currently running no gauges on my cb125s, it originally had just a speedo but i threw it out. what's the cheapest way to get a tach on this bike? oem from a different bike or aftermarket?

I'm lookin for some tires for my 1978 CB125. I'm not sure what kind of tires I need. I know I need tubes, but what tires are OK to use with tubes? I found Michelin Macadams and Bridgestone battlax in 2.75x18f but they don't make them in the 3.00x17r that I need. I'm also not sure if I can...

I'm working on getting my cb125 going, and was messing with the front brake. It is a mechanically actuated disc with 1 pot and circular pads (tiny). I took it apart, cleaned it up, greased the piston, put it back together. It still doesn't work for shit. Tried again, and nothing. They will...

Hi all, I just bought a 1978 cb125s for $100.00, and I'm going to try and turn it into a ghetto fabbed cafe racer. I only bought it as something to putt around town on, so no need to make cracks about my single slammer only being able to go 60mph, haha. I've already chopped on the seat a...
