Do you mean timing chain tensioner? That was also replaced so should be good.It was as good as can be for a 125 haha and it has been the past 1k km till now.

I had to google what float levels here haha i guess i could once i clean it.Oil is fine and it revs smoothly normally but at 80khr or so it just drops power out of the blue without sputter

Correct. Every bit of power i have is the difference between an enjoyable ride and a kak one lol I suspect air filter is dirty as i realized now i had idle issues afew days back where it would stall sometimes on a warm engine so it could relate to air filter too if im not mistaken

Oh wow i didnt know that tyres could do that haha.I bought it second hand and have done 5k kms so far without checking or cleaning the carb :/ I just googled it and looks like an easy job so il try get to that this week and report back.More cc is certainly needed though :)

Hi ,So its hard to write it down exactly as its a strange thing that i am trying to word but around 1k kms ago i got a new top end installed and all was fine.I just did a new oil change afew days ago and since the super windy days i cannot accelerate past 80-85km without my bike basically...

Thanks a ton

Greetings. Does anyone know where in the western cape ,specifically Southern suburbs, I could go and get basics like oil/ air filters etc for a honda xr 125? I am also looking for parts like a pair of handguards and front fork protectors but alot of the ONLINE sites look sketch.

No im not when checking but i think it being halfway is actually correct,for some reason i assumed it needed to be at the max.

I think you are right,i dont know why in my mind i assumed it needed to closer to the max mark than not.

Okay so i went for a drive and then sat on the bike with engine off for around 3 minutes and then checked while upright and its now shows around 2/4ths to the upper mark im still wondering why it isnt showing the top mark as it was filled to the recommended amount.

haha yeah i did.

I placed on side stand when pouring in the new oil if that makes any difference but when i check the dipstick its always after a ride and warmed up and i Centre the bike first.

yes

Im not sure if this is the right place to post so apologies if its not but recently ive done my first ever oil change on my Honda xr 125 and its recommended is 1L but ive been told its actually 900ml.So i drained the previous out,poured in 900ml and got no reading on dipstick,then i poured 50ml...

Black and orange would be awesome :)

Oh wow that is quite alot of riding.I have been riding quite far behind vehicles unless im about to lane split but i always hover just left of the centre line so that they can see me in there rear view mirrors,is this the right way? I will take note about intersections.When i see a taxi going...

This was perfect.I find myself day dreaming sometimes especially in traffic as you mentioned.Lucky the weather has been cold so no room for that lol i will practice some emergency stops this weekend actually.Thanks again this really did help.

Ive always wanted to ride there.Was it very snowy? Hope you had a blast :)

Thanks so much for the greetings and making me feel extremely welcome! :) Better advice from many of you above than ive had from people ive spoken too in person. Ive been working on my mindset while riding and taking every precaution i can usually starting as i get on.Its an entirely different...

Hi all Currently hitting my 3rd month riding ( had a scooter back in the day ) and loving it so far apart from realizing how bad people drive on the road.Its gotten to a point where ive already had 2 close calls and numerous road rage incidents with cars and alot of taxis. Having anger issues...
