Honda NTV650 Revere Part 8 - Removing The Front Cylinder Head
zhlédnutí 184Před 3 měsíci
Removing the rear cylinder head allowed us to inspect the cam chain tensioner and guides on the rear cylinder. They were found to be worn in a level consistent with an engine of this high mileage. The choice to remove the front cylinder head was an easy one.
Honda NTV650 Revere Part 7 - Removing The Rear Cylinder Head
zhlédnutí 543Před 3 měsíci
The engine on the NTV650 Revere is now pulled down to the point where access to the lower end of the cam chain and tensioners is clear. So far I haven't found any likely cause of the noise and vibration that the bike exhibits. Its time to remove the rear cylinder head and pull the tensioners to see what state their in.
Honda NTV650 Revere Part 6 - Removing The Clutch And Oil Pump Chain
zhlédnutí 261Před 4 měsíci
One of my prime suspects as the source of my NTV's vibration and strange noise was the oil pump chain which runs from behind the clutch to the oil pump. The clutch itself is worth inspecting as I suspect it is the original Honda item and its removal is necessary anyway for further inspection and disassembly of the engine. And boy did it put up a fight.
Honda NTV650 Revere Part 5 - Removing The Flywheel
zhlédnutí 240Před 4 měsíci
Alternate title would have been "wrestling with the flywheel" but with a little patience off it came. I have a set of universal flywheel pullers which I use as much as I can however there are pullers made specifically for this bike. Which you use is up to you of course but you will need a tool to remove it, they rarely come off easily.
Honda NTV650 Revere Part 4 - Checking the Valve Timing
zhlédnutí 330Před 4 měsíci
If the cam chains are really really loose it is possible that the cam chain has jumped a few teeth on one of the sprockets. We have established that the cam chains are not as tight as they should be on our bike but nowhere loose enough to jump teeth. Probably. This is how you check to make sure that the valve timing is still correct. This video shows how to check the valve timing HOWEVER it sho...

zhlédnutí 289Před 4 měsíci
Our nice new exhaust paint wont harden until its been heated up thoroughly. Until then it will be soft and easily scratched or damaged. This is a common theme with high temperature paints, they need to be baked on. The best way to do this is to run the engine. Our project is progressing really well and the end is in sight, though still way off in the distance. Before we start attaching cosmetic...
Honda CBR250R MC19 Part 48 - Fitting The Exhaust
zhlédnutí 147Před 5 měsíci
The exhaust has been tidied up and the time has come to fit it to the bike! Once fitted it will not be taken off again so extra care has to be taken to ensure the heat proof paint is not damaged. The best thing to do is to be gentle, take your time and rest the pipe on your body rather than on the ground.
Honda NTV650 Revere Part 3 Remove Flywheel Cover
zhlédnutí 243Před 5 měsíci
Removing the crankcase cover to expose the flywheel is the first step required to take the flywheel off. Once the flywheel is off we will be able to see the lower portion of the cam chain tensioners for the front cylinder.

I was quite lucky to find a wrecker in Queensland who had several standard exhaust pipes advertised online with excellent images that allowed me to pick what I felt was the best of them. When an exhaust pipe has been around since the late 1980's it becomes difficult to find one in pristine condition. Not impossible but really unlikely.

This is part four of our chain replacement series and to be honest, its a little rough and ready in that I show you guys a no nonsense way to make sure that your chain is the correct length before you fit it by cutting it to size with an angle grinder with a grinding disk. The CB takes an unusual length chain so the chances are any chain you buy will be too long and need to be shortened. There ...
Honda CB125E - Replace Drive Chain and Sprockets Part Three

Honda CB125E - Replace Drive Chain and Sprockets Part Two
zhlédnutí 174Před 5 měsíci
In this video we split the chain. This sounds very ominous but all it really means is that one link is removed so the chain is no longer a continuous loop. Our chain has a split link, one that comes apart by removing a simple circlip, much easy than using a chain breaker tool or cutting the chain.

Thanks a lot It was really helpful.
how can i buy this ???
Nice videos and appreciate your work. These unique and powerful machines #Honda is not and never coming into our country India. The limited buyers keeping them away from launch.😅
Hi. Thanks for this series. I’m having extreme troubles with a NT650GT because of faulty electronics which caused detonations. Made a valve in the front cylinder shear off with further dire consequences. I already put a new engine but that has taken a beating to. I think I have at last cured the electronics but still need to build one functioning engine out of both blocks. So this is very welcome.
And to think iwas going to pay my mechanic $1000 to do this simple job
I'll do it for $950... 😆
Have 1989 VTR 250 rear cylinder comes and goes in conjunction with backfires through carb that feeds that cylinder. Thinking valves are too tight I went through everything in carb plus new plugs are sooty already think I may need to do this
This was my first bike which I rode from 1995 to 2003 in Germany. Great bike for city commute, but I also took it all the way across Europe, over the Alps and everywhere. I loved it dearly, but had to sell it when I moved to Australia. Great to see it again.
Useful video. I need to change the dampers and the brake pads of my cbf..
I’m in Nicaragua with a flat rear tire. Gonna take it off here in a bit and go to the shop. Thanks a lot for the video !!!
I always wanted one but they were a little bit pricey, so I bought a honda cb500s. 23years later i still have it with 140,000 miles on the clock all done by me (225,308) kilometres. I have had 4 shaft bikes 3 bmw 1 honda deauville to heavy for me 225k. I am keeping my two cb500s and my new shaft will be picked up next week. It is a Moto guzzi breva 750 ( 2011).
Hi mate, loving the videos as I am currently working on one of these. Do you know the size tool needed to get the flywheel off?
Thank you.
I'm planning to change my Honda NSR fork seals and i think that cb and nsr forks are pretty much the same design?
They are all very much the same. Do a bit of googling though and try and find out what oil the forks need and exactly how much required.
Thank you for posting this this tutorial helped a lot you have an amazing way of explaining things!
Thank you kindly !
They are superb machines, I toured England and Scotland on one and it was flawless
I looking forward to putting mine back together!
Thank you for the video. I recently bought a Ntv 650. It has just under 100k kilometers in it. I Don't have much experience with bikes, but I think the cam chain is rattling a bit, so I may have to do something about it. I'm really looking forward to your next video. This might be helpful for me.
Thank you for watching! Mine has about 105k on it and there is definite wear on the tensioners and guides. I guess every engine has a weak point and this may well be the NTV's.
Hello, thanks for your videos. I have a couple of questions. Is it common for this motorcycle to experience harsh engine braking in 1st and 2nd gears when the throttle is closed? This is my first motorcycle, so I have nothing to compare it to. After the purchase, I serviced the carburetors, replaced torn membranes and had to replace the needles on the throttles. I found needles only from deauville 650. They are shorter and thicker. In any case, the bike rides well. I wonder why the NTV 650 has different springs on the vacuum throttles. It looks like the front cylinder kicks in later when you open the throttle. Also, when you drive very slowly at low engine speeds, you feel play in the transmission, perhaps this is a feature of the cardan drive, or maybe it is wear and tear on the transmission. I will be very glad if you share your experience. I apologize for the text, it was created in Google translator))
Sadly I've only ridden my bike a few times before I dismantled it. I bought it knowing it needed repair and wanted to minimize damage so I only had a few short rides before pulling it down. The lower the gear you are in the greater the amount of engine braking you will achieve. I don't recommend put any bike in first gear unless you are traveling at low speeds!
How did it go have you completed it? Is it any good?
Still going mate but on the turning point. Preparing to reassemble!
Good info. Thanks.
Thank you!
How many KMs did you get out of the chain and sprockets my 125E needs both a set of sprockets plus a chain it's done 25kms it's a 2012 model
25,000km is a very normal mileage for chain and sprockets. You certainly got your moneys worth!
My CB125E is just about to be replaced do i need any special tools to do the job myself it's done 25000kms
just the tools you can see in the video for the most part.
скільки об'єму? мені здається щось більше за 125?😊
Rumor has it they do 250.000 easy. no need to open the shaft drive. just put some new oil in it. i have a couple. theyr good old donkey's and fun when you want. czcams.com/video/JAelhuH_eUA/video.html
Just used this video to do the same on my varadero 👍 essentially the same job. really helpful thanks 🙏
Your welcome!
Hello. Thanks for the video. I have a 1993 NTV650 in the UK and it has done 33,000 miles, around half the distance of yours. My oil pump chain looks to be about the same tension as yours. It was causing me some concern but given that yours is the same, I suspect neither of us needs to worry about it. You mention a noise. Mine makes a rattling noise, but only when the clutch is disengaged. That's the reason I have just removed my clutch cover and found the 'slack' chain. As a matter of interest, did you find out if your chain is being its service life? I can't find any information about it. It may be a different noise to yours. Mine certainly can't be heard when riding the bike and, as I said, it only happens when the clutch lever is pulled in. I suspect the clutch release bearing.
Yes, the problem with your bike definitely sounds clutch related. My bike has over 100k km's where yours has about half of that. If your bike has been well maintained I'm sure your cam chains etc have a bit of life left in them yet. That oil pump chain is a concern though. I found a replacement just to be safe but I wont be too worried if it is as slack as the old one when I fit it.
@@highoctanecommuting3862 I changed my clutch lifter bearing and now the engine is quiet. There is no noise from the chain, despite it appearing slack. Suspect the chain is how it’s supposed to be.
Hey mate, I'm leaning to work on engine and I made rookie error, I used a normal socket instead of a spark plug socket and its stuck in the spark plug well would you have any hot tips to remove the socket. The socket has slid over the sparkplug making a firm fit
well spark plugs are relatively cheap, I would it out of the socket with a thin bar or whatever fits and see how it goes.
How to tell the difference between mc 19 mc 22 carb plz riply
where do you get this ixil exhaust from?
They stopped making them about 4 years ago sadly.
Really appreciating your series mate - I've got 3 Revere (an 89, 90 and 91) in various styles (one cafe modded, one standard, one in severe need of tlc). Definitely going to use your videos as reference when I finally get to pull down the non-running one!
Nice!
Avoid metal knives for removing old gaskets. You can cut an old credit card in half and sharpen one side by scraping on stone. Use that to scrape.
This is a great tip!
Hi, I currently own one of the last ones, 97, which I bought a couple of years ago from the original owner with just over 3000km on! Yes 3k!😮, for under 3k€, 😊. Used for one year and then dry stored but maintained. Returning to biking after family commitments and now retired. I have had a lot of bikes, classics etc. which also included two cx500's, and the forerunner VT500e. Mostly in UK and now Austria. I'm also a shaft drive convert. So you need to get a manual. The engines are bullet proof as other mention, dispatch tool, as long as maintained. Camchains are automatically adjusted. The front cylinder tappet clearance gets neglected as tricky to get to. You will learn the knack of getting the carbs off. 😂 Take the throttle cable assembly off the carb so you dont need to reset the cables, just two screws 😉 The engine does clatter a bit on tickover. VT500's did suffer from piston wear of the rear cylinder due to overheating. I haven't heard anything regarding the NTV though, only some reasoning for differing jet sizes front and rear. Funnily Honda even tried switching those aswell. 😢 The gearbox comes from Hondas agricultural dept. similar to my old R75/6 and very unlike the vt or the super silky CX's. The engine doesn't have a balancer, Honda cleverly balanced 52° V by offsetting the two crank pins to emulate a 90° 😉. Without the original clocks you have to guess the mileage. Your exhaust system is non-standard too. Jetting can be a mystery as they changed over the years and can influence a lot. Riding position is cramped as the pegs are too high and far back plus low seat. Slow riding also can cause wrist or palm pain. Mine is strangled due to noise emisions (longer silencer) so the transmission whine is dominant. The grey import hawk has chain drive and an aluminium frame etc. and lighter. I prefer the later clocks as they are the same size and more like my CB550F. I also prefer the later standard bars, but they are too low and far forward for me. Handlebar risers could be fitted. However, I understand that this can be an issue with the loom wiring length and the throttle cables, etc. The handling is rock solid, but tend to tip into corners too easily and can lean a lot further than I'm prepared to go.😅 Watch out for the E fuels clogging the jet's, especially pilot. Fuel pumps tend to go but are cheap. The finish is very good quality. I retrofitted the centerstand (straight fit), Honda was economising! As you say, great torque and will pull hard even with a passenger and gear. The CX is more comfortable, but less stable in particular the forks/ steering head. Basically the chassis out matches the power of the engine. The way it should be. You said it had been dropped, check everything! RH switchgear not correct also. Anyway have fun and I agree with your philosophy of getting it back to standard if economically viable.
This is such an amazing comment I've actually reread it several times to soak it all in. I will certainly turn my attention to the RH switchblock when the time comes. I was puzzled by the lack of balance shaft. I do have a manual too but I only refer to it if I get stuck I have to admit. Or for a torque specification or the like. Thank you for commenting!
Just did both of mine in about an hour and a half, thank you so much for your video.. no more leaks!
Glad to help!
I never understood the soaking. Within moments of starting the clutch becomes bathed in oil.
You can get away with not doing it but definitely soaking the clutch allows for consistent uptake of the oil. I think the long term benefits are there.
I really appreciate these videos. I am having issues getting a buddys cb125e running that was in a crash then sat for 3 years also it has had a side stand bypass because the stand was wrecked and maybe other crash related issues. I have been following your tutorials and I am wondering about the spark plug that is currently installed. It is a new ngk CPR8EA9 with a threaded terminal and the connection with the spark plug cap is not great and easily removed. It is sparking though. Would you recommend a threaded, solid plug or nut for the sparkie?
The standard arrangement is definitely the go. The crappy connection probably isn't helping however. Maybe a second hand item off ebay?
You wipe them off after and let them sit for awhile first?
I usually wipe them off simply to stop them dripping everywhere.
Hey mate, hope you are well and thanks for the video ... I have watched the video and it looks very easy to do it, but when I tried, it was impossible to hook one extreme of the cable. I tried bottom first and the other way around. It is for about 3mm that I cannot reach the hook, but even if I do it, then the clutch will be tensioned all the time. All threads are loose so that the cable is at its maximum extension and cable path was same as original ... Idk if I am doing something wrong or if the cable is shorter than original (the seller said is correct for Honda cb125e model 2012/2021)
If everything is loosened right off it should fit and probably have a lot of movement. The word seller implies eBay and not a genuine part. Ebay can be a mixed bag as many sellers stock Chinese motorcycle parts and home wares in equal amounts and have no clue about either (sorry, but your CB was made in China). This concerns me. I can only suggest you have a few friends over to check your work. If you all reach the same conclusion it may well be that the cable is simply not correct. You certainly need to have a little play (loose movement and no tension) when the clutch is released or it may well slip or wear out quickly. You can cheat by removing say 5mm of the casing the cable is encased in. This will mean more of the cable itself will be presented. The metal caps at clutch lever end of the casing can often be removed with a bit of work and this will allow you to carefully cut away the plastic casing. Don't accidentally cut or fray your cable. Doing this will void any warranty the part might have and possibly make your cable unusable if it doesn't work out. Good luck and let us know how it went?
@@highoctanecommuting3862 Hey there, thanks for your quick amswer with the explanation! It's helped me to order an original one, even the one I bought it looked was from a good place, the price was very similar. I just got it yesterday and installed it today, for that i did not replay before. It fits perfectly, same as your video! ... The only thing, when I tried to go for a ride i couldn't turn the engine on 😂. I think the time not using it makes something in the battery or i have done something accidentally with some cables, lights on but still the spark not happen, will see later with your video about that... Thanks for the learning, very useful, cheers mate!!!
@@tomasmasnericalderari1613 The original Honda parts aren't all that expensive and always fit. On the clutch perch theres a switch operated by the clutch lever designed to stop you from killing yourself with enthusiasm. Maybe check the wires on that?
Hey mate I know this is a long shot but I'm having a problem with my cb125e and I'm wondering if I can have some way contact you so I can get your thoughts on it before I take it to a mechanic and pay them too much money to diagnose it( just because you're basically the guy who knows everything about those bikes)
yep, it is a long shot. What is the patients symptoms? Its an engine problem I'm assuming?? Also where are you located?
@highoctanecommuting3862 I'm located on the Central Coast, basically it's rattling as the engine goes pretty much anywhere above idle it used to only happen at high RPM but it's gotten worse, I checked the valve clearances & adjusted them as the previous owner didn't do any maintenance not even a oil change for 15000 km( assuming that's accurate) although I'm not too sure if I did valve clearance is correctly as I don't have experience with engines and I don't have that tool so it was a bit hard doing it but when I did the valve clearances the first time it was running perfectly fine but then the rattling slowly came back came back and I did it again but nothing change to when I did it the second time. The clutch isn't slipping or anything like that so I don't think it's the clutch I'm thinking it's somewhere in the transmission hopefully not the cylinder head because that's very expensive. That's basically The Rundown of it I know it's a bit hard to really say anything for sure when you're not there, I talked to a motorcycle mechanic but for them to take it apart and everything and figure out what's wrong & would be quite expensive and I'm trying to go through all of the different options. Thoughts?( also it's at 17000 km now) Also thank you especially if you can help me at all with this!
Very interesting. My thoughts? If the valve clearances are correct then rattles are not likely to be the sound of good news. I don't believe CZcams has any private messaging features. Any suggestions how we can continue the conversation privately? I lurk on CB125E Owners Australia on FB if that helps.

Mine is a 1983 CB 125 and I can't even find the old change bolt, it's not on the bottom
From memory they certainly have a drain bolt (of course) but as an alternative there is an oil strainer near the gear change lever. You can remove this to drain your oil. It is under a cap that looks like the ones on the rocker cover that you remove to adjust your tappets. The cap is maybe 30 or 40mm in diameter and has a 17 or 19mm hex on it. Take care of your CB, its a piece of history !

Is this bike will fit a kick starter if change the side cover with a kick start hole¿😮
There does seen to be some provision for a kick starter doesn't there? I can't definitely say the parts are available out there though.
im asking since it is 10pm with 6 hours until i need to get up for work. i've searched for a very long time for a reputable place to buy parts (which all seemed to point to you guys?) everything i find is a little bit sketchy or massively overpriced. and even some forums saying that the engine is identical to some other bikes?? i would just love to know what i should be googling instead of "honda cb125e 2019 big bore kit" or "sprocket set" or anything to do with the bike. as for the big bore kits i've found stating 185cc. the pictures show the 149cc marking on the engine :') please i beg you, how can i find parts affordably like big bore kits, carburetor parts, and just main upgrades parts (maintenance parts seem easy to find thankfully. but nothing else)
We wound up HOC earlier this year I'm sorry to say. There were many factors that influenced the decision including the effects of covid on the business and competitors offering similar products that were cheaper and often of inferior quality. Often we found ourselves in a position where we were on the receiving end of a frustrated person who was venting on us because we they thought that the items they bought from these vendors were our kits. Not so. No sales, no profit to keep the doors open and stuck with doing other peoples legwork. So this channel is now simply for me to share my love of motorcycles (and amateurish videos) with the world.
im sorry to hear that, thank you for letting me know with a reply :) and completely understandable. it takes a very very experienced mechanic or metal worker (or the like) to understand metal quality of parts from a few pictures and price tag. but as you said. cheaper parts means cheaper materials. with cheaper materials, it will never ever be a surprise that they dont work well or at all.@@highoctanecommuting3862 needless to say. but i love your content. keep it up
