Brazil Honda fuel lines

[savo318]

Does anyone know the size of pipe I need to replace the fuel line on a Brazil cg 125, the model with the front disc brake. I've looked everywhere and can't get an answer. The problem is that I seem to be using more fuel than when I first got the bike (at the same time as passing my CBT). And after checking everything else I'm wandering if I've got a small split and am losing some fuel that. I was spending £7 every two weeks, now its more like £12 every two weeks. The money isn't a issue its the keeping the bike in proper order that's bugging me.

Thanks

Have you considered measuring it ? Alternatively , why not just cut a centimeter off and take it to your local bike shop as a comparison. Try to get old fashioned black neoprene tubing rather than this new translucent green stuff that quickly goes hard when exposed to fuel . By the way, if you're losing a lot of fuel surely you would smell it . If the bike has a carburetor maybe it's overflowing due to a stuck float valve or an incorrect float height. Perhaps it's running rich due to a dirty air filter.

It could simply be that you are revving higher in each gear (now that you are more confident on the bike)?
