Today i took a look at the valve train/tappets on my 2020 honda ct125 and do a quick-how to- on how i went about doing the whole procedure to adjust them.
the tappets or valve adjustment is pretty easy to do on this small bike compared to multi cylinder motors.
didn't take that all long at all and is pretty easy to do with my simple easy to follow guide
Best maintenance bike video i've seen in a long time, maybe I'm biased because I'm going to buy one of these 125s! Can you please do more maintenance videos and if you do get an exhaust that would be a great fun video! Thanks!
anything is possible.could even go shocks too
That was an excellent video. Thanks for the trouble that you went to to make it. It has been a long time since I have seen such easy access to valve adjustment screws. Those Honda factory valve adjustment tools are really handy. I bought a set for my 1986 Honda VFR700FII (which now has 125K miles on the clock) and it really made adjusting the 16 valves on that bike a lot easier, too. Adjusting the valves of the CT125 is sure a lot easier than checking, or worse yet adjusting, the 20 shim-under-bucket valves of my 2002 Yamaha FZ1. (Insert a "eek" here.) And you didn't need to add music to your clip this time with your birds chirping in the background. lol I might add that I just bought a set of go-no-go feeler gauges off of Amazon that look handy. They are stepped so that you can insert them between the valve and the adjuster and push them to check the valve clearance. If the clearance is correct, the first section of the gauge will slide past, while the second and thicker section will not slide past. That makes the job easier than using two different thickness gauges.
interesting on the go-no-go feeler gauges. wouldn't mind trying out those myself. i'd agree this bike is pretty simple to get at in this area. more so than the grom/monkey or supercub-specially on the intake side
I found the same wrench on Amazon for $15 US, it's on it's way. Keep it up Warro!!!
all good. you'll enjoy using that easy to use tool.
Excellent video! I"ve looked all over the internet to see how to adjust the valves on the CT 125 (any of the bikes) and nothing, even my dealer was no help. Now I see clearly what it looks like. These looks easier than my 1970 Bonneville was. I appreciate the time it took to get the camera on your work. :o)
happy to help. pretty easy and very easy to get at on this model too
Excellent work, Warro. I wish I had a video this clear for the valve adjustments on my other bikes. It’s nice to see how accessible the valve covers are. This was a great video. Juliet got you right in at TDC also. Nice.
had no choice-the assistant had better eyes...lol
Really good to see you do your own work. Great video
thanks-fills in a bit of time and may help some-one
On my old CT I usually put a finger over the plug hole & press the kick start to feel the compression as the piston rises. Checking the timing mark I know I'm on top dead ctr on the compression stroke. I don't have the neat tool that you have, but a robertson screw bent 90 degrees & a 9mm ring spanner work perfectly. A piece of dowel screwed on makes a good handle.
you can get that tool on ebay for $12 posted...what a bargain. some other i looked at were $50 so i thought i'd try this.
good idea of yours too
Enjoyable and informative - keep them coming!
More to come! no shortage at the moment
Warro, Not fair as you had a head mechanic to help with the valve adjustment! LOL Thanks for the video.
i required an assistant you could say- i couldn't see the marking so after several attempts -i had no choice but call in the reserve...lol
About time you purchased a bike lift (table). Not that expensive but saves working on the floor. 10 years time you will defo thank yourself. Dont know if avaiable in Oz but i have a seeley mc454. Excellent!
i may have to seriously look into something like that shortly. good call there
I have a motorcycle lift and it's taking up way too much garage space, and I never use it, it's just easier and faster to drop on the floor and do the maintenance. I'm going sell it.
@@mr.paladin8721 really. I have 4 bikes in my garage. I leave it down and stand one bike on it mine is scissor action so goes straight up. I can work on a bike with the others in there. Im waiting on knee replacement so getting on the floor is not an option. I can work on a bike sat on a chair too if i like. Best thing i ever bought.
Very interesting maintenance video Warro.👍👍👍
thanks-filled in the day. i actually spent a bit of the money i recovered from the gold run to buy that tool. worked out well.
@@ridewithwarro Making an outdoors hobby pay for itself is the Ant's Pants I reckon.
Hello good sir! Love your style! Can you please show us how to perform a brake bleed and brake pad replacement?
i will keep it in mind
Hi Warro. That adjustment tool at around 9:20 ... I have found them on eBay for sizes 8mm, 9mm and 10mm. Guess that refers to the size of the lock-nut? Can you identify which one you got for the 125 ? Thanks. I love the drone shots at the start of the videos !!
9mm was the one which hit the mark
Thanks for this precise information to help us with this maintenance.
all good there
That special tool really makes the job much easier. Can it be used on other Honda bikes as well?
i'd say yes because they sell them for different sizes in the tappet nut and in the other one too- pretteasy to use but not when trying to film too...lol
Some Honda’s have an allen socket in the stem, so it depends.
Mr. Warro , thank you for all of your videos. You have become the YT go to guy for the CT125! Do you know the weight capacity of this bike? I can't find it. Thanks!
know that answer too...lol 330 lbs two up including 44 lbs of luggage max. ive done that 2 up ride with the wife in the clips and it handled it well....ride on!
Back in the 70's before unleaded. We had. 92 octane regular 98 premium and 103 octane ethel. We were told the higher the octane the cooler the engine would run. On ethel my 90 would hold 55 to 60 mph easy. With a good wind behind me it would get 65 mph. With the gas we have now, I wonder if it would get a good 40 mph.
even the colour of the gas looks sic....lol
It's not just fuel that can affect it. My rat-bike commuter back in 80's was a CB125. I had a big long hill on the commute up which I was lucky to see 50mph. One day I changed its oil using the synthetic stuff for my good bikes (VFR 750- the all white one & a Kawasaki GTR) because I ran out of the cheap stuff. Next day the CB125 tore up the hill at 60+MPH!
@@georgedonofrio8207 not a bad effort indeed. good stuff that fully synthetic
A very useful video. Thankyou.
Glad it was helpful!
How did you get the engine so clean? It looks straight from the factory!
OK-OK I JUST WASHED WHERE I WAS POINTING THE CAMERA...LOL i will clean the bike completely next time...lol
Neat tool
and pretty cheap too. about $12 on ebay perfect fit too
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
As an American it would be interesting to see a little portion of your video showing all the birds around your house. We put great value on a lot of your local birds. In your country they are considered pests I believe. 😏
next time if i see them in the trees i will point the cameras at them for ya. that mic is a bit over sensitive too and picks up a lot of back ground noise
Great tutorial 👌.
dont'forget to check my 13t sprocket update...lol
@@ridewithwarro I was saving it to watch at my lunch break. Gives me something to look forward too 🙂.
@@ridewithwarro You made the valve clearance check look easy. Hope mine goes as well on my Monkey. I'm going to do my first check at 4000 miles since the shop manual had it listed as that. Ought to be an interesting find. I've had to stop myself from doing it sooner, but want to see if manual is right by waiting. Hopefully it won't all be jacked up in there.
@@findingneutral good! hope you enjoy the view
@@findingneutral i think yours and the grom has the air filter in the way a bit- on his its a pretty clean run
Intake Valve Clearance = 0.1 mm (~.004 in)
Exhaust Valve Clearance = 0.17 mm (~.007 in)
Spark Plug Gab = 0.8 - 0.9 mm
all good info there
Hi Warro, How did you know the valve clearance? Did you get a user/maintenance manual with the bike? I just ordered the bike today in Bangkok, and Honda said they do not have any manual in English. Did you get any useful manual in English? Thanks.
i wouldn't say the manual i got was of much use. just a cheap looking manual you'd expect from say an ebay iten.
i got my info on valve clearance from a honda motorcycle shop who said thats the clearance-just like the postie bikes.
they have been using the fuel injected bikes here-same style for a few years now.
it appears to work fine but i wouldn't run out and do it. i decided to do that just to show but looking at my latest clip up today-bike is running sweet
@@ridewithwarro Okay thanks. I'm going to see what the Thai manual looks like and then see if I can get hold of any kind of Thai maintenance manual. I'll also ask the dealer. Then I'll let you know if I find the clearance values are as you mentioned. Sounds like you have them right if your engine is running sweet. Cheers.
what exactly are you chasing info on?
@@ridewithwarro Nothing specific but I would like to do my own servicing and maintenance so just general stuff like oil type, plug gap, tire pressure etc.
@@djbrettell yeah it has all that stuff in the back of the manual but its not a in depth type of manual just a type of a quick shooter look and see.
in that case the manual will be a help to you
So, the 9mm tool it is then..!!👍 11:17
yep!
Hi Warri, just to let you know, Quasi changed his front sprocket on his Honda Super Cub and he said it didn’t make much of a difference @ top end... he was planning on changing it back. Also, like the valve adjustment tool, do you have a link to that? Thanks, Jim
heres the ebay link for the tool
eBay item number:121963329711
Ride with Warro thanks! I definitely will have to get one😁
@@ridewithwarro I have one like that tool to help with the valve adjustment on my bikes.
Don't fit that 13 tooth front sprocket, she'll pull better but it's too vibey. Do a 41 tooth rear sprocket - you'll love that! How do I know? I just watched your future video... time travel!!!
good one....lol
@@ridewithwarro it's fun to be a smart ass lol, keep 'em coming my Oz friend!
@@jamesdspaderf2883 will do-party is not over yet...lol
@@ridewithwarro watching your KTM Duke 390 review,might be the bike for me, in New York City!
@@jamesdspaderf2883 i think i'd watch my ktm 390 adventure bike reviews
i hate to say this but using a straight feeler gauge and bending it you wont get a true fit.
yeah it might be a good idea if you put one up and show the bent method of the feeler gauge tappet adj. i have none in stock
