My only thing is now do I tighten bolt side or nut side in the sense I secure the nut with a spanner and tighten the other/bolt side with my wrench..? Cherrs guys I know its probably a pain for such a simple question because you all know now.

Cherrs thats awesome.. Way over my head at my current level no torque settings in it maybe I misses it its 670 pages and from 2004. Seesm like it an full assembly manual. I was looking at a few oline myself but lucky the 2019 owners manual has it in 88nm.

I will have a look but surely thats the first thing I did and it just kept coming up with Haynes honda cb125f up to 2017 model so... But like I said I've found the torque I was just wondering if there was any other mag that does the same as Haynes

What the one I added futher up... Yeah but he got the torque wrong thats what brought me here he says tighten to 54nm when it is in fact 88nm

Hayness was my first thought but like most print they are almost dead and have moved all online and haven't got the honda cb125f 2021 revamp model it only goes up to 2017. But I would think it would be fair to assume torque specs haven't changed and it will still be worth a read as a bike is a bike even if things are a little different like for example the drain bolt for the oil was right underneath now its opposite side vertically. Is hayness the only guys that print stuff like that...?

I get it guys lol... I'm being a nerd but seeing as I habe a torque wrench I might as well do it right. Also I'm sure they mark these specs for a reason... But failed to publish them. I guess the whole concept of Newton meters doesn't matter at all lol. But yeah I get the general censors This is a reply to all that have commented since my last one um also no no where near Cheshire. Nearest garage is a Honda dealer and I very much doubt they will let me in the garage to work lol. But I don't need a garage its just adjust the nuts a few turns to bring my slack back to under 1 Inch. But thanks like I said I found the page from a 2019 manual its 88nm this is completely gone in my 2020 versions which is off putting tbh

Hi yeah I've seen that its the 2019 manual that actually has it in says 88nm also has how to adjust it but my manuals doesn't why I dunno all pervious manuals has at least some torque specs. It my understanding that it very important as it how much force the fitting can take. Or is it not as important as that surely they have to make a owner aware of such stuff out of liability reason and just good safety you don't want to tight it 2 tight and for it 2 say burn up ans snap or tighten it 2 lose and it fall out if it did and they hadn't published the newton meter spec thats gotta be on them Rang honda girl didn't know rang dealership who said that its in with the services but its not down till 12.000 miles and seeing as it has slack at 16.000 It couldn't of been looked at my 600 miles. This isn't a services thing is it? More a general maintenance thing like changing the oil I know thats 30nm they guy was like they wouldn't tell you that why wouldn't they. If I needed the engine striped Id take it 2 them I'm not going to pay £40 for an oil change which literally takes just a unscrewing a bolts new stup washer and maybe filter and o ring. Same goes for a bike adjustment that I might need to do every 1000 miless or so as roads aren't great and ita harsh weather. Next they want me to take it to a dealership just for a chain clean and lube. If it serious stuff you bet the dealerships it goes but some things are obviously just a money grab so we will see what they say if they ring back

Where are these maintenance manuals for my model.. Yeah i know a bike is a bike so most the big stuff stays the same but like I've said I have to reduce the chain slack and no one seems to knwo the torque spec's that all.

I found a chart that has a list for the swing arm pivot at nm. As I'm not taking the well off is it different torque for different sides or as it is all one bolts and nut but you obviously got the head of the bold which he said was 54nm so am I correct in the thinking the real axel nut refers to the nut the other side.

I found a 2012 manual that list it at 113nm.. The nearest manual that evem mentions torque specs is the 2019 honda cb125f one. Surrey they should just publish sucj things right...?

Hi guys so my chain needs to be adjusted my bike is an Honda CB125F 2021 model year brought and made 2022 Thing is my manual has be down grounded so much in fact it doesn't even have a section where it tells you how to do it. anyway I know how to do it but my issue is torque specs I saw some guy online aka YouTube seemed he uploaded a yeah ago he say the back wheel nut is 54 nm but I've found a manual for the 2019 Cb125f that says its 88 nm I think the guy in the video got confused between the rear engine rear axel nut which I assume axel refers to the wheel nut and he just found the first pic online let me know. First pics inwhich I think he is referring to as his reference 54 nm but it says rear engine mounting nuts I assume this isn't the wheel nut or is it...? In the 2019 manual it says in it very good and detailed manual why they messed with it god knows as they can get people hurt not telling them this stuff anyway it clearly says 88 nm He seems to know his stuff so anyway the video is here also incase you wish to see just skip to when he get to the chain.

Now worries yeah asked them they only go up to cb125f 2017 it was just a torque specifications query but since found out my manual compared to many other older ones is missing so much by comparison why I dunno. Cherrs tho P. S Ian you could help answer a pervious question that got lost in conversation the bike slack I measure both ways right up and down. Also do I clean the sprockets if so also the front bike is on 16.000 miles thhe chain defo needs adjustments as I think it was 3 inches of slack this morning so not good.

Its all good I can learn from many sources and I've learnt alot from you guys so thanks

Yeah I'm just so surprised that mine is missing so much like how to pull back the whell to tighten slack why would they miss that out just find it very strange. Yean I missed that also you did say 2016 seems they wanted to tell you how to fix things then aren't you guys surprised by how much is missing from my versions. What a cb125f owner fourm do they do that?

I know it said special tools what a spanner and socket wrench or torque wrench. But then I woukd have no idea why my back brake had more slack. As the is no page about it in my manual also say the crank breather it mentions it breathy but doesn't say anything else where it is or what I need to do. Same with the battery says I should rub of the connectors but then doesn't tell me how to take the battery out like yours lol Why is my manual missing so much yours even tells you how to change a whell can I ask how and where did you find it. I have to have mine serviced for the warranty which I've even extended another year just incase I'm prone to bad luck so I have to cover my ass. Yeah i get it alot of people don't care for me its not about the money but more I like bikes I want to know how mine works why it works and how to fix things whether that actually happens we will see will defo be alot harder if they don't publish stuff I can read and learn from. Did you just find that as a google search be interesting to see for what year it was for. My fault does say a few bits about the battery but as you can see so much is missing surely other people print and publish service manuals and repair manuals or is Haynes the only one. Did you say African twin I swear i read that they are putting a front facing camera onto the next revamp. You mentioned your have a torque specs page i have one 2 with just 2 specs for like the most unneeded specs light screws and licence plates screws. As for say the crankcase breather says if i ride alot to check and that it doesn't say how or where it is and I use my bike to commute so yeah she gets used alot.

Gerontious if you look at the other messages you will see like I said my book is missing so bloody much I have no page about how to adjust the slack aka move rhe whell back. Nothing about that at all then this might effect my back break free play which also which I obviously haven't been advised if you hadn't provided your link to that digital manual I woukd of known as I'm going to adjust the chain as its out. Why is mine missing so much importance content i have a page that advised me to inspect the free play of the back break thats it. Mine vs yours Your manual or the one found online has so much more details and mine like I said is missing huge sections it seems I have no section what so ever on how to adjust the chaim for slack. Just how to inspect it seems they habe either made a massive error during print or they are Purposely leaving stuff out so people become more reliant on the dealership. The last photo the first 2 are yours the last ONE is all I have about the drive chain this is the entire section about drive chain and no page on how to adjust it it even says in yours that it requires special tools so take tp your dealer but they don't ask for it to be inspected till 12.000 miles and mine is already slack I'm pretty sure. Can you confirm that I measure both ways up and down downwards it didn't budge but when I pushed it up I think it was like 3 inches from where it sits aka resting position so this needa to be corrected... Right..?

Oil was done hopefully at the 600 miles service but I have checked its in the line. Some stuff is it in but some stuff isn't as show yeah spoke to them they don't have a manual for my model yet. Literally my owners manual is missing huge sections that weird I checked my chain this morning it definitely needs to be adjusted. I have no idea why they have missed so much out on my manual below is the only specs for torque I have i obviously looked at my book first befoe I came and asked hers I'm not that lazy amd definitely the chain needs to be looked after everything does but thats just me.

Gerontious where did you find that manual as mine is missing so bloody much. For example your manual shows how to adjust the chain for slack. Which after checking this morning is somthing I need to do when I get a dry sunny day. Screenshot below of your manual beautifully detailed and has torque Then mine i have one page which is 70 and says nothing about how to adjust slack at all showing the pages before and after in my book

Thats weird you say that but yeah I thought of that a while back I've got multiple boots and have worn both on her. I just want to be 100% its a real issue as it only happens now and the and I can control it to fix it. You guys all seem pretty sure there is an issue here it seems tho Maybe I'm not pushing hard enough on the peg. I have attached another video here. Again below is one of the first ones I sent to the guy I got it off think I was 33 miles in at this point video below. Ignore the link or whatever that is below this sentence as I can't get rid of it.

Wow thats freaking strange as I have an owners manual and it doesn't have anything like that on my your is page 60 mine is page 62 - 63 and doesn't even mention torque I assumed the online versions would just be the same but hence why I didn't look but thankfully you did. Seems they have massively downgraded the manual which is a crime lol Also the drain bolt on the new 2021 model is not underneath it vertical across. I got in touch with Haynes is it they don't have a manual for it yet as honda did a massive overall of the engine they said. But I think it would be safe to say the Newton force would be the same why they haven't added this info in the new manual is a shame Also am I the only one who thinks black has to be like the worst colour to make a dip stick lol

You on about the one as i take the corner yeah was in 1st went into 2nd the it said no and switched me back into neutral I've got a few more I'll add them in a bit i just don't want to go to the guys and there be nothing wrong looking like a fool amd wasting peoples time. But I'm also am adult and know that I can't know somthing new till I've learnt it and at some point they new nothing about bike 2 dam those big ass desk it surrounded by all them sweet spanking knew bikes abit intimating lol

Okay.. Well its been going on since the start and I have emails as records to the dealership I brought it from so there is that that stuff goes way back to 15 miles. This reply is 2 all you guys they said they was stock issues so my local dealer was quoting like 6 months so the one I got it from is 100miles away from my local dealer as the other guy could get me it quicker and I was inpatient Anyway so they would be probably a massive wait for a whole replacement bike and I'm sure honda wouldn't be happy about that and tbh me neither as I like my bike.. I know fatboy don't say that. But its just 2 late I've grown attached to an inanimate object lol. And like you say its honda so it just my luck i get the one in like a million with an issue Plus the waste to materials and everyone time and the bottom line of the dealership etc. Also I really need to make sure it not my fault as for the video I think i switched from 5 to 4 th then back as I wasn't sure the speed limit was on the bloody road as somtimes there are no freaking signs then it just wouldn't register. But its has definitely been in gear and just jumped. if I was a more experienced driver I guess I wouldn't be doubting myself so much and others i guess it did have a services and they said it was fine wouldn't they pick up on this during the service You all say metal doesn't need to work in so I thought that was a tad odd but it does make sense as it how metal works but then why don't I hear loads of cars cracking the gear shifts for the first 2 months Being so new I'm obviously overly reliant on others and that isn't good at all.

So its not normal for the metal components for the gears needing some time to work in I guess. It doesn't happen all the time as for what they do fix it or replace thats up to honda I guess as its under their warranty I just need to make sure its a machinery fault and just not me so I don't waste peoples time.

Hi well my local dealership is different from the one I got it from. Its under warranty not even over a month old yet so what about the metal needing time to work in? This makes sense but I know nothing about bikes really yet so solely reliant on others and I have no knowledge myself to gauge it against not yet so..? Don't know if what I'm being told is legit or not. I have messaged my local dealer but it was late Saturday its been seen but by whom I don't know. there are closed Sundays so should hear back today I took it there for my 600 service they said everything was fine I mentioned the gear issue also to the guy who signed my book etc. So will see either way it should get sorted if I have any issues I'll just go to honda directly can't I..?

Thats what it feels like as I know I've clicked in and the other day seemed to confirm it as i was no were near the gear stick/peg and for a few seconds it went from said I was in no gear I think to saying it was in no gear I asked the dealership I brought it off and he said it just needs time to work in but it keeps happening after like 2 months You can see in the video marked gear issues at 13.51.44.... But for the upload to youtube its 0.32 seconds in you can clearly see me put my left hand up to say like what the fudge as I was on a long stretch of road nice and clear and it went to saying I wasn't in any gear then back to I was it wasn't so bad there but its bad when I'm on a roundabout which also happened as I drop down a gear to go round.
