Mine has had this long overdue. I was suppose to clean her out last winter but couldn't bother. finally got around doing it. thanks for the 2 videos, helped me quite a bit.
Patryk Gadomski to much fuel in the mixture could be a number of problems, it could just need the mixture screw adjusting, maybe your air filter needs changing, could be the float level is wrong. The jets don’t normally need replacing but worth checking to see if they’re dirty. Hope this helps👍
@@BikeMates Can You please tell me what is purpose for AIR VENT TUBE(Service manual page 5-5)? It is for the opening vacum valve in tank? In my bike it is missing co that's why, I'm asking.
Patryk Gadomski hi the tube which opens the fuel tap via vacuum comes from the engine block not the carb. The only air vent I can see is from the bottom of the tank which lets the tank breathe and wouldn’t matter if it was missing. Hope this helps
Hiya Just a quick question does the carbon have to come apart in this order? One of my bowl screws is rounded off and I don't have the tools to get it out, can you take it apart any way or in the order you've shown?
Hi mate, building one of these on my channel atm but really struggling to find the standard jet size for a 08 CBR 125 can’t read the one in my carb as it’s so badly deteriorated you wouldn’t know standard jet size would you mate?
Hi unfortunately no I don’t because the markings on the one that I had were unreadable to and the bike has been sold a few years now. Good luck with your Chanel.
Hello Sparky THANKS ALOT ! for those two videos on the stripdown and cleaning of the carburetor. I have a question for you about the gaskets of the carb, once i replace them do i use joint scellant or just some grease to put back on the new ones ? Thanks again, Pablo
what is the thing you put in at 11:40? and where do you put it? underneath the main jet or in the canal next to it? you didn't took this thing out when tearing the carburettor apart. my carburettor doesn't has this thing and i am concerned that my motorcycle tech missed it when he put it together last time.
Hi, unfortunately I can’t help you with any information on the carb as this video was made purely to help with stripping down and I no longer have the bike.
@@patrickbateman4148 not all the carbs on the cbr125 have a coolant hose, apparently it was an upgrade to keep the fuel inlet at a constant temperature.
when i cleaned mine the pneumatic thingamagig stop going up and down at all, i think my air valve thingy with the spring is busted because i can see right through it all around it or maybe i have a air leak somewhere but problem is i can only find parts at honda and they are soooo expensive darnit
thanks. checked it out but couldn't find a rebuild kit nor just the air valve diaphragm. any idea where i might get it. i'm not in the UK tho... SA. oh and i did manage to fix the issue i had. it was a bad seal on the VC or is it CV or the pneumatic rubber thing. problem now is it's idling irregularly. if i rev it up it would stay at 4000 revs and slowly go down and down and down and stop and sometimes surprise me and die
Hay man me again. Just a quick one is the float an adjustable one or a throw away and replace job? Also I bought the furl tap like I said I would and fitted it. But when I apply fuel the bike stutters. So this is why I'm thinking I've got to play about with the float level.
leom mitchell hi the float is not adjustable so if you suspect it’s at fault you’ll need to replace it, I would also replace the needle valve at the same time. Hope this helps
hi quick question. what have u got the screw at the bottom of the flot bowl set to. as i belive from looking it up its the lean/rich setting and i have just had my carb of and its all the way in?
Hiya I'm in need of help please. All of the jets inside carb. Do these all need to be wound in full? Or do they need to be wound out , this is my first bike honda CBR 125 rw6 2006 thank you , Is it just the screw on outside that you adjust and leave all screws inside screwed in . Thank you so much
again to clarify you have 2 threaded pins inside and one idle pin outside the Carb. the idle outside the carb can be adjusted by turning with flat screwdriver as expected, but. am i to do the same wiith the internal pins, or are they supposed to be tightened or turned off 2 turns etc. thank you
@@BikeMates brilliant thank you and presumably the adjustment of the internal jets is done by replacing with different sizes jets , would you know the best sized jets to install? , p.s i am about to comment on your other carb video with another question , thank you for your help :)
Gerlock22 _ hi the idle screw is located on the right hand side of the carb, it’s a long screw which moves the throttle cam as you turn it. Hope this helps 👍
SparkyRides I can’t find one on that website and can’t find one anywhere, I’ve looked for keihin carb seal but doesn’t come up with the one I need, thanks for your help though
@@BikeMates ahhhh that could be it, mine doesnt have a float bowl for some reason and no drain bolt aswell, its unlike any carburetor ive ever seen or cleaned, and its also not gravity fed aswell taking off the gas line i cant seem to do unless i break it, i got my bike finally started after 2 batteries, it hardly starts then when it does, it dies at high rpm
Im assuming its dirtygas and dirty carb, i out fuel line and gas stabilizer in it, hopefully will clear it up and maybe spray carb clean in through the airbox i.hope it helps, ran fine the 4x i rode it!
Gym Rat Oldschool all I can recommend is remove the screw being careful not to loose the o ring and washer and give the screw a good clean then replace all parts.
@@BikeMates What would you do if the idle screw is totally stuck? :o I actually have 3 carbs in total, the stock on which was knackered, a second one that works except the idle screw is totally stuck and badly burred and a third that is also totally stuck. I've tried everything on these and yet for some reason they're totally stuck, ive tried a blow torch on the knackered one and it did nothing, the (brass?) idle screw just breaks before I can loosen anything. Also sorry for hijacking this :')

White Knight hi thanks for your kind comment glad it helped you. Ride Safe
Thanks form aids from France !
TOSHIRO PLAY no problem glad to help 😃
Great video mate, helped a lot
Hi Sparky, great video from You. Very helpfoul. But question to You: in my CBR I have to much fuel in mixture,. Should I do something with main jet?
Patryk Gadomski to much fuel in the mixture could be a number of problems, it could just need the mixture screw adjusting, maybe your air filter needs changing, could be the float level is wrong. The jets don’t normally need replacing but worth checking to see if they’re dirty.
Hope this helps👍
@@BikeMates hi There, I think that I have to adjust spire. I will try and I will let you know. But your video is realy cool. Thanks!

Hi can take it apart in any order, I just found it easier this way.
@@BikeMates okay brilliant thank you I've put it back together for now and I'll try again next weekend thanks for the speedy reply 😊

Hi glad you enjoyed the video.
No sealant required for the gaskets on the carb just fit and screw it together.
@@BikeMates Okay then, thank you very much.

What is model of carburetor
what is the thing you put in at 11:40? and where do you put it? underneath the main jet or in the canal next to it? you didn't took this thing out when tearing the carburettor apart. my carburettor doesn't has this thing and i am concerned that my motorcycle tech missed it when he put it together last time.
Hello. Do u know what type of main jet it uses or the model of keihin?
Hi, unfortunately I can’t help you with any information on the carb as this video was made purely to help with stripping down and I no longer have the bike.
Is it normal that there is a coolant hose connected to the carburetor? My JC34 wont start anymore and i dont know why.
@@patrickbateman4148 not all the carbs on the cbr125 have a coolant hose, apparently it was an upgrade to keep the fuel inlet at a constant temperature.
What make and model of carb is it please?
Thank you!
Artur hope it helps you.
lifesaver.

Gerhard van Dyk have you tried wemoto on the interweb?
thanks. checked it out but couldn't find a rebuild kit nor just the air valve diaphragm. any idea where i might get it. i'm not in the UK tho...

Gerhard van Dyk I can only think you may find what you need somewhere on the Internet or may buy a second hand carb from eBay.
Where is the airs adjustment on cbr 125 carb?
Hay man me again. Just a quick one is the float an adjustable one or a throw away and replace job?

@@BikeMates yeah thanks man that helps alot. I'm not too sure what to expect anymore to be honest.
Can u use any carburetor on my Honda CBR 125 2006
You could probably use one that has the same specs but no you can't use any carb.
@@BikeMates were can I get one to buy
Delroy Smith have a look on wemoto online
hi quick question. what have u got the screw at the bottom of the flot bowl set to. as i belive from looking it up its the lean/rich setting and i have just had my carb of and its all the way in?
From memory I think this screw is set at 1.5 turns out from fully in.
@@BikeMates thank u. its a start and i will get there :)
Hiya I'm in need of help please. All of the jets inside carb. Do these all need to be wound in full? Or do they need to be wound out , this is my first bike honda CBR 125 rw6 2006 thank you , Is it just the screw on outside that you adjust and leave all screws inside screwed in . Thank you so much
3D Ag3nt hi if you want to clean the jets you will have to remove them, clean and reinstall but do not over tighten them.
Hope this helps
@@BikeMates sorry to elaborate what I mean, are all the jets inside to be done up. As in all the way in ? Or loosen half turn ,
again to clarify you have 2 threaded pins inside and one idle pin outside the Carb. the idle outside the carb can be adjusted by turning with flat screwdriver as expected, but. am i to do the same wiith the internal pins, or are they supposed to be tightened or turned off 2 turns etc. thank you
3D Ag3nt no all jets inside the carb must be tightened
@@BikeMates brilliant thank you and presumably the adjustment of the internal jets is done by replacing with different sizes jets , would you know the best sized jets to install? ,
p.s i am about to comment on your other carb video with another question , thank you for your help :)
Hello sprarky, I need to kniv where the Idle crew is at. My idle is at 4000 rpm :/
Gerlock22 _ hi the idle screw is located on the right hand side of the carb, it’s a long screw which moves the throttle cam as you turn it.
Hope this helps 👍
Where can I get bigger jets for carb on CBR?
Marián Mician I’m not sure you can get bigger jets anymore.
Any idea where I can find one of those seals/gasket for the bottom of the carb, can find them on eBay
jamie allen hi if you google cbr125 parts you will find a site I think it’s www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/cbr_125_rc/12
Hope that helps
Ride safe👍
SparkyRides I can’t find one on that website and can’t find one anywhere, I’ve looked for keihin carb seal but doesn’t come up with the one I need, thanks for your help though
@@jamieallen7402 Did you have much look finding one? I'm now in the same predicament as you were! In desperate need of the seal/gasket set
oomo no didn’t find one, ended up using just gasket sealant and worked fine, bit messy but it works
@@jamieallen7402 I appreciate the prompt reply . I shall do the same, thank you
my son has 1 but has no gas going to the carb he dont no why
Frances Stapley it will either be the the pet cock (fuel tap) or the float is stuck up closing the inlet.
Hope that helps 👍
I have an 07 cbr125r...and my carb looks completely different than this :/
Hi thanks for you comment, the carb in the video was off a 05 bike so I assume that Honda used a different one on later bikes.
@@BikeMates ahhhh that could be it, mine doesnt have a float bowl for some reason and no drain bolt aswell, its unlike any carburetor ive ever seen or cleaned, and its also not gravity fed aswell taking off the gas line i cant seem to do unless i break it, i got my bike finally started after 2 batteries, it hardly starts then when it does, it dies at high rpm

what carb size?
black zaku hi not sure of the specs but it's the standard Honda cbr125r carb
all i know is it's the KEIHIN VK6AB, not sure about the rest. looks just like that one.
28mm
Why am I finding it so difficult finding bigger main jets and service parts for this carb?
ANDYMCNET I found parts that I need on weemoto.com
hi friend, i have a cbr 125r but i cant ajust the misture, i have it lean but my screw dont do anything! help me . thanks from portugal!
Gym Rat Oldschool hi do you mean that the screw won’t move or does it move but makes no difference?
@@BikeMates hi, it moves but don't make anything
Gym Rat Oldschool all I can recommend is remove the screw being careful not to loose the o ring and washer and give the screw a good clean then replace all parts.

UnPotat hi when you say the idle screw are you talking about the idle screw or idle jet?
throw that piece of crap out and fit a rcing carb the bike will go a lot quicker.
