FULL Restoration & Test Honda CG125 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNuKksWSy7TYpp8.htmlsi=C0lhwiQX-tyDYcms

Am always amazed at how people can disassemble and reassemble an engine. Looks like sorcery to me.

This is a Honda CG 125 an everday motorcycle for millions of Pakistanis still in 2023 and still being produced in very large numbers.

Really amazing piece of work! Very impressive. Must say though that I was a little surprised that after going to all that work, you didn't grind the valve seats or change the piston rings. Really enjoyed it though! 😀

It’s really nice to know that most bike engines are somewhat similar, so not only was I satisfied, but I also learned a lot watching this

More of a deep cleaning than a resto!

This brings back memories, I had one of these bikes for years, I rode one from North Wakes, to Cottingham, in Hull, for my part one and two training, did the full journey there on one tank, did my training and part one test, and all part two training, than went home on the Sunday. I passed my part two test shortly after. Happy times.

Esse motor é um tanque de guerra. Tem uma durabilidade incrível. Esse mecânico é um ótimo profissional, fez um trabalho impecável. Gostaria de vê o motor funcionando no final do vídeo ❤

Will she start? nobody knows

Muy buen video artísticamente, desde una vista de un conocedor en mecánica, lo veo solo como una restauración estética, puedo apreciar muchos detalles que no son correctos, cómo por ejemplo, no cambios ningún rodamiento del motor que son muy importantes, no lo vi desarmar las válvulas para asentarlas, limpiarlas ni mucho menos regularlas cuando puso la torre de balancines, tampoco cambio los retenes que con más de 50 años ya no tienen la elasticidad para cumplir su función óptimamente. Si me gustaron algunos detalles como la puesta a punto, el torque (ahunque solo le dió a la tapa de cilintros) y la fabricación de las empaquetaduras con papel bilumoide que por cierto le faltó la del filtro centrífugo. En fin, puede que me equivoqué y alla echo esto fuera de camaras pero sería bueno tomar esto en cuenta para un siguiente video.

He just cleaned it.

Isso sim é uma restauração de respeito. Mecânico faz tudo trabalho de qualidade respeita os mecânicos .

Very nice!. Too bad we didn't get to see it run.....

Except for honing the cylinder wall and new rings and grinding the valve seats, that was a flashback to my youth when I rebuilt an Mt 125. Nice work.

In Brazil, the CG 125 OHV was in production from 1976 to 2008, being CG 125 at launch, in 1990, it was renamed CG 125 Today, receiving the CDI replacing the platinum in 1992 and also some improvements in the engine, in 1995 it passed to be called CG125 Titan, in 2000 Titan underwent a redesign of the motorcycle, receiving some improvements in internal parts and adoption of electric start, in 2005 it was renamed CG125 Fan, until the end of production of OHV engines in 2008 due to engine no longer meets the restrictions of Promot III. It was the best-selling motorcycle for 32 years. The CG 125 Fan continued to be manufactured from 2009, but with a completely different engine, derived from the CG150 Titan OHC, launched in 2004, the 2009 CG 125 OHC was nicknamed "Bufa".

You never forget your 1st. First engine I ever rebult in 1983. So many memories 😊

I know nothing about cars but this is awesome love seeing an expert do their thing

Simply magnificent! outstanding restoration, keep up the great work:). Esses motores em Durabilidade são campeões ️.

Motor cg todavía se sigue fabricando por su mecánica fácil y confiabilidad.. Saludos 🇨🇴👋

You forgot to check, clean and grind the valve seats. It is no use going through all this trouble finding out you have no compression.

Mecânico faz tudo trabalho de qualidade respeita os mecânicos . Possibly simple four-stroke engine arrangement and therefore so vital. Good job, congratulations!.

Só faltou funcionar ele , esse é um dos melhores motores produzidos pela Honda aqui no Brasil....

Fun to watch for sure. Thank you for taking us along. Is there a specific reason why you chose not to replace all bearings, rings and some other wear-items while you already had invested this much time into disassembly?

Very nice restauration! I would have loved to hear it run

I really would like it if you could start adding in what liquids your using, what color paint/primer. Etc. Just in 1 of the corners. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Why did you go through all that and not pull the valves and lap them?

Tenho uma CG 1980. Demorei 2 anos para o restauro completo. Ficou espetacular!!!

I am no expert but that engine looks brand new inside. When I was young I bought a motorcycle that was sitting outside for many years, managed to start it up and drove it for 2 years without changing anything, not even the oil, and sold it as it was for double the price. LOL. I would be so scared to put all those pieces back together. Great job!

Another excellent restoration the only thing I would say maybe could have been different is to paint the Honda black to match the top cover tying it all together.

Possibly simple four-stroke engine arrangement and therefore so vital. Good job, congratulations!

Mecânico faz tudo trabalho de qualidade respeita os mecânicos 👍👍👍

I can see why most people give up these projects, one look at all those parts and I would give up too. Persevere, this project's looking awesome!

Un artista. Qué elegancia en el trabajo!!... 👏👏👏 BRAVO!!... PERFECT!!. 👍👍

Esses motores em Durabilidade são campeões 🏆🏆🏆🇧🇷✔️

Надеюсь поршень тоже тоже наждачной бумагой прошли. А карбюратор главное помыть, он после этого точно будет работать. Так же как и старые слипшиеся диски сцепления. )))

OMG! Beatiful I could only wish I could perfect such a rebuild.....Very Very Nice....Production was spot on....

I absolutely love these engines, I have a few clones of these and they are rock solid and cheap/easy to work on, no rattly timing chains and super reliable. Well done on this one, it looks super good after you restored it. Wrench on man!

Wait your not going to fire it up?

Work of art!!! Great Job.

I had a 71 Honda SL-125 that eventually had a 145cc powroll kit installed on it and before I did the kit on it i tried blowing it up to see just how tough the little 125 engine was and just held it WTFO for well over 2 minutes straight and nothing WTF that surprised the hell out of me thought for sure it would let loose after just a minute NOPE 🤣💪💪😎 Owned and raced alot of Honda XR's AND CR 's and I'd have to say that those old air-cooled XR 's were damn near bullet proof ! Keep your oil/filter clean, air filter clean and a fresh plug every now n then and that engine will last FOREVER 💪😎👍

You should get a parts washer. Some are self-contained, so need for plumbing.

Made a very good video. Encouragement from Thailand.

Nice cleaning and paint but no new seals, bearings, clutch plates, piston rings, carb parts, etc, etc?

Thank you very much. I cleaned my engine step by step watching your guide

I wonder if the frame and tires will be one video or split into two?🤔 Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It's incredible how this video doesn't seem to be 30 minutes long, I watched every second and I was so fascinated by the excellent work that I didn't even see the time pass. This video is a masterpiece

Motor totalmente restaurante e ficou novo 😊 ótimo trabalho nesse motor da Honda 125.

Legendary little engine in its own right

I get that you are trying to use minimum tools but hey we can all afford a parts washer :) Bit surprised you didn’t take the valves out after demolishing everything else. Still nice job, well done

I am Indonesian ... This is remind me 40 years ago, my first motorcycle. Inherited from my father. Tough but reliable motor for daily use.

You can still get a new one in the Philippines. Currently marketed as the TMX 125. Assembled at the Honda plant here from domestic and Chinese parts. There are also knockoffs marketed as Skygo, Rusi, MotorStar and others at varying levels of build quality and price but even the Honda badged machine is only around $1,000 USD.

A very reliable engine, very easy to troubleshoot and to maintain

Dude this is literally what I’ve been looking for

I remember these 70s engines, extremely rugged and reliable.

It was a restoration, not a rebuild. That's why no metal parts were replaced. It was beautiful! I enjoyed watching every minute of it! I don't know why I find it so satisfying to watch!👍

Excelente trabalho.

Very nice and helpful video. In this procedure, your should change Piston, Piston Rings, Carburetor internal parts, complete gasket kit, ball bearings with brand new parts. Thank you Sir.

When you fired it up are the end it was so smooth but the exhaust sounded like music.

What product is used to wash the parts and engine? Congratulations on the service performed!! 👏👏

Restauração top! Mecânico profissional.. Isso sim é uma restauração de respeito.

Restauração top! Mecânico profissional.

Nice job. Brought it back to life 👍

Extraordinary, fantastic

Excellent video/skills. I just noticed you didn't remove the crankshaft bearings' seals, which were out on original bearings for lubrication .

Restored to a clean paperweight, now a starting video

man i wish i can restore engines everyday

"The vertical separation of the crankcase" ... (6:52) Years of experience preceded this craftsmanship ...

Nossa ficou 10 👏👏👏👏👏

You need about 5 gallons of Varsol and dip all those parts

This video was much interesting and perfect in restoration…If it included the full restoration of the bike that have been phenomenal. Anyways awesome😊👍🏻👍👌🏻

Why are these videos so satisfying?!

Now that it is clean, take it apart again and actually rebuild it, not just make it look better.

Simply magnificent! outstanding restoration, keep up the great work:)

Still sold in the Philippines today as the TMX 125 Alpha. With the Chinese too from 125cc, 150cc and 175cc.

I had this motorcyle CG 125 and it was repaired by my father and me in 1999 untill 2003, the motorcyle was very legend for my family.

Respect !! Very nice work. And editing.

Isso sim é uma restauração de respeito

I love the way that everything just 'fell off'!

Good job.😊

A work of amazing precision, I really appreciate your work, man.🍻💪🏻

I love it when I see someone who restore something and let the original sound come on unlike some people putting some stupid music on the background

Наконец продолжения спасибо за такой длинный выпуск . Да ещë кажется что да, маленький двигатель и столько деталей ✊

Good job

Excelente 🛵

Wow love to learn. Good job bro.

Wow, my 1970s machine wasn't even born yet, bro

Don´t call it restoation....it´s a good cleaning and painting. Nothing else. Sorry but true.

The guy just sanded valves in place. I'm done.

did you replace all the bearings and o-rings/ seals?

Engine Restoration ❌ Engine Deep Cleaning ✅

Good job for someone to have a limited amount of the right equipment.

i would have done a valve job

As all the work is done nicely and shot nicely, its just a cosmetic repair. Valve guides and valves? Adjustment? Main and con bearings? small end? cylidner job? anything? Old clutch plates?

Nice. In the UK these little pushrod motors were the CG125 - the various CB 125s were all overhead cam. The CG was marketed as a commuter bike and so lower priced. They appeared in 1976 and I had a '78 version. Not fast, but sipped petrol (100 miles per gallon was possible) and as long as you did regular oil changes, cleaned out the centrifugal oil filter and kept the points in good condition it would run like a slightly rattly clock. Mine was still doing that when I sold it with 72,000 miles on the clock. I went everywhere on that thing for years through college and then on the dole in Thatchers Britain no experience, no job. No job, no experience. Build quality and finish were excellent in the earlier ones and tolerances and specifications of materials spot on. Later ones were made in Brazil under licence and they has rumours of lower standards of quality control and materials specification. Never had one, but that carb is a later one with the plastic choke lever. Not a highly-regarded bike over here, but well worth the effort of sorting one and using it as reliable everyday transport. A 12v conversion is worth it for better lights, but the 6v had direct generation ignition so if you could spin it over fast enough it would start and run with a flat battery.

A junta no velomolde é só por a junta encima de um E.v.a e por a carcaça encima e pressionar que ela molda certinho e só cortar dps

Brillante !!

I am super excited for final part please upload the final video it’s been so long and just waiting ❤❤❤❤

Interesting engine. Superb workmanship. Inspiring video. Thank you.

dude , you cleaned , bondo, and painted a already clean motor , no new bearings, no rebuild, at least do crank bearings, wrist pin , rings, quick couple of passes with honing bar, you had it apart, the parts are cheap and easy to install , and you really should get feeler gauges adjust the clearance on the rocker arms/ valves, not just torque it all back together, and for christmas sakes when you bolt down any cyl head always cris cross pattern =front left, rear right, front right, rear left,ect, if you gonna call it a full resto than do it right never put a top end back together without at least replacing the rings , and as many of the bearings as you can...........PS- bondo?????my man, bondo and spray paint ....just no.
