Help needed with servicing my 125.

[Butters B)]

If anyone would be able to direct me in the direction of a 2009 CBR125RW Workshop manual that would be swell!

Quick search on Google: Honda CBR125R Workshop Manual and Resources

Possibly what you're looking for?

unfortunately, this is the european spec model. i need the aussie one

EDIT: Just tried downloading it. The Winzip file doesnt even have anything in it :S

[Guil]

As far as I got on the Australian site: Road Motorcycles | Owning A Honda | Honda MPE

Seems they don't have one for the 125.. I tried

What is it exactly that you are needing to fix? I can't imagine there would be much of a difference between european and aussie. Heck, I was using a GPZ service manual when I had my GPX.

i just want to get into servicing my own bike, so i get moar experience. i just need to do an oil change at the moment.

Then the european manual will more than suffice. Even if there is a *slight* change in layout, you should be able to work out the difference. If you can't, you'd prob be better off leaving it to a pro.

You can always try ebay. I got my 2004-2007 one there. Not sure about 2009's tho

2007 would be fine i would imagine. i think they are Fuel injected, and have all the same mechanical bits as the 09, just different bodywork. ill check it out

Your little cbr is almost brand new?
Consider paying for the first few services. If you go to sell this bike in 12 months and have no proper service record, you may find people give it a miss. For the first few years service history can mean a lot when it comes to sell.
2 bikes with same kays and the same price, one with a full service history, its easy to work out which one sells.
I'm not saying don't do it, just filling in the full picture

^^^ true but the amount you will save by doing it your self, you will be better off in the end.

[Squash]

^^^ whs, ~$12 for oil filter ~$50 for some good oil maybe $2 for the crush washer and o ring compared to whatever it costs at the dealers (i wouldn't know ive always done my own servicing)

i like to learn about the bike im riding

[Butters B)]

Thanks for the advice. I wont be selling the bike. Just gonna give it to my mum when im finished with it when i get a new one. im getting a car out of her so it only seems fair.

I have uploaded the australian workshop manual to megaupload, MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
I got it from the canadian cbr125r.ca forums. a very good place to go to if you have any technical questions, the gurus there will fix up any problems you have.
But really you shouldnt need a manual to change the oil, you just pop the fairings off, warm the bike up, crack the nut at the bottom, and sit on the bike upright while the oil drains off.
You will need about 950-1050mL of oil, I recommend MOTUL or FUCHS if you are okay with shit cold performance (Ive yet to find an oil that runs like a champ before riding about 5 kilometres)

also checkout my photo album of my 125r for modding inspirations, so far it 'HAD' a HID Kit, drilled out exhaust, sheepskin seat, short indicators, snorkel removed, racing camshaft, racing piston and unlimited CDI. It was making about 13kW at the dyno before it got totalled by some lady who cut me off.
I am now buying a brand-new 600rr with the money from health insurance, and her insurance.
