Hey MBS, Quick question, how do you find that spark plug cap with the light? Thinking of grabbing some for my CB 125. Is it any good?

I've got a 75 CB125s seems to go alright with the 6V, however can't get a spark at the moment so I spose you shouldn't listen to me! I was always told that I'd have to change the flasher relay, points, condenser, coil, bulbs, rectifier and battery and couldn't ever be bothered doing it. Which...

Oh if i Lived in Queensland!!!!

Throught I'd chuck some stuff in (all round sydney area): This KH100 Just finished, probably be worth calling with no bids! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330400842506&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Nice Enfield Bullet (wish I had some coin to buy this)...

The Needle, by that you mean the throttle needles setting yeah? Not the needle and seat. I'll have to check that, I did change it when I did the carb re-build, might have changed the settings without realising. How does the needle work with tuning (ie. if its closer to the bottom what effect...

OK so last night I had some time so started the bike to give her a run. Before I did this i pulled the spark plug out an it was kinda sooty and black so i cleaned it up and put it back in and away we went. I let her get warm and then road her round the block for 15 min to see if it had cleared...

Cheers, ok fair enough. Bought the new ignition coil. But will now have to wait for it to come. I hate waiting. :(

Sorry, Just going back Big R: Why should I not pull the old coil off before I get the new one???

Damn, wouldn't of minded picking it up.... if you don't mind how much you get for it? There is a 77 CB 125 on ebay at the moment at penrith that I'm interesting it grabbing. Call it a premature next project :) P.s. Thanks for the indicator advise, I haven't been able to find anything 6V and...

Cleaned the carbs about a month ago so they seem fine. No air filter or exhaust mod's......hope its not the coils. Don't know how to change them!!!!!

Sweet, thanks mate. Have to get some new ones for mine :)

Hey Guys, Sorry it took ages, waiting for a long time for the Generator to come form the U.S. :) All fixed, however, I'm still getting a spluttering when I rev it out past 6000 rpm. I know its a fuel mixture problem but the mixture seems perfect at idle! Can anyone help???? J

Hey Mate I've got a 75 CB125J and I'm in Sydney. Where did you get your indicators and tail light from? And how did you got about 6V convertion? Cheers!

Love the bikes! I've got a 75 CB125 myself. Where did you get the indicators from and the taillight, and how did you go about converting them to 6v? Need to get me some of those! Jordan

Thanks PJ, I'll do the diode check tonight. I've been doing mainly city riding however I try to always minimise the use of the indicators because the headlight and brakelight are continuously on. The battery is only around 3 months old, but has minimal use. I trickle charged it the other...

Hey Guys, Basically finally finished my build and have found that after an extended period of riding the bike starts to die when I use the indicators or apply brakes. 3 questions: 1. Is this because the battery is draining? Or am I looking at a different problem? 2. If it's a battery draining...

Hey Guys, Long time reader so thought I'd post now that I've started doing some work on the bike. 1975 Honda CB 125s with 4*** on the clock. Not bad, pulled it out of an old blokes shed. Works: Drag Bars New flat seat Expose orange tank. Carby Clean. New Indicators Tail light. From Sydney...

Hey Guys, new to the forum, so thought I'd chuck in my 2 cents here. Jordan from Sydney, own a 1975 Honda CB 125s currently giving it a classic/cafe job. She's got 4*** original on the speedo, however hasn't been ridden in years so needs a good going over. Plans: New seat - flat seat most...

Ah that makes total sense. I'll pull her out today and let you know how she goes. Thanks, J

Hey Guys, First build and I've hit a stump. Basically, the bike wont idle anywhere below 3000 RPM. Did have it idling around 1200 which is where it should however just put in a new battery and now i can't get it to ideal. So I turn the idle screw all the way in turn her over and she idles high...
