    Sold 2022 CT125 Honda Trail $4400

    Have to admit, I'm pretty much in the middle of nowhere in extreme NE Montana, Froid, MT 59226, and yes the bike is still for sale. I think the odometer reads 23 miles now.

    Exceptional Seller, Nice Pipe Guard

    I have a similar if not the same guard and can testify that the tailpipe guard along with the aftermarket crash bars on the front have proved to be a very good investment for me. I recently spilled while accidently slipping into a rut and the guards not only saved the tailpipe but saved me...

    Sprockets

    I started with 118 links and after taking the amount showing in the picture I had ??? remaining. Am not good with chains so did I remove 5 links? 4 links?

    Sprockets

    I started out with 118 links but then used the chain brake to take out some links to fit. Next time I get out to the shop (23 miles away) I will look to see if I can find the links that I removed but am thinking it was four but not sure. I was able to use the same chain in switching between the...

    Sprockets

    Have posted before on wanting lower gearing as first had installed the 13 tooth sprocket but found it to be only a small improvement. Next step was to install the 42 tooth reat sprocket but again found myself wanting yet lower gearing. So today installed the 45 tooth rear sprocket (JT269.45...

    Drilling axle for safety wire

    Good idea to use something on brake side like the spare axle (or anything else) like you suggest to help align things while inserting the axle from the opposite side as it would help hold the brake assembly in place. I used a tie wrap around the brake assembly and the swing arm to hold the...

    How do you rate your bike before and after mods?

    I couldn't really call the CT125 a trail bike the way it came stock. Was expecting something on the order of the CT110 I had years ago so only would give the stock bike a 3 out of 10. for my use, was disappointed. The bike was geared too high for my use so installed the 13 tooth on the front and...

    Tire Talc or No Tire Talc ?

    The tube was installed with the convex shaped washer installed first, then the nut, and then the valve stem poked through the hole in the rim, and them the 2nd nut installed. Had ridden the bike a couple miles on the first ride but on the second ride the tire went flat and I found the valve stem...

    Tire Talc or No Tire Talc ?

    Just changed to the Shinko 241 tires and used tire talc in the process and am now wondering if that was a mistake. On the second ride the rear valve stem ripped out of the tube and am wondering if that may have been because of using tire talc. One thing about it is that the problem was caused...

    New Sprockets, New Tire

    Didn’t realize there was a problem with the ridge on the JTR sprocket but after looking at it this morning I see there is. I reused the original bolts & nuts, tightened them down. The sprocket is not loose but possibly some thin washers could be used

    New Sprockets, New Tire

    My riding is totally off pavement, on cow trails that go up over and down hills some of which are sandy, across cultivated fields, across grassy pastures. That's about it. It's a ranch bike not a street bike that I need.

    New Sprockets, New Tire

    In trying to gear this thing down I had changed the front sprocket to a 13 tooth but for my use found that was still too fast so today changed the rear to the JTR269.42 from JT Sprockets, 42 tooth. Now am wishing I had gotten the 45 tooth rear sprocket as these changes made some difference but I...

    42 Tooth Sprocket, Where Are Folks Finding It ???

    Asked my Honda dealer about getting a 42 tooth rear sprocket but he was unable to find a source either in the Honda or aftermarket parts list. I have searched these forums and found mention of 42 and 45 tooth sprockets but have not yet been able to find a source for obtaining one. Any comments...

    First Ride Impressions

    I changed to the 13 tooth sprocket today and it did make a difference, had ordered it and had it on hand but wanted to try the stock 14 tooth sprocket first. It was not a radical change but headed me in the right direction. I will put some miles on the bike first but think I will end up with a...

    First Ride Impressions

    An aftermarket thingy dingy to supposedly protect the muffler when I spill the bike. It does make a nice hand grip too. Not so sure it's necessary but could be.

    First Ride Impressions

    Yes, Old gas is a possibility. I bought the bike in November and it only showed about quarter of a tank so I topped it off with fresh non-ethanol gas but it may take awhile for the old gas to clear the system. I did find a YouTube video of adjusting the throttle free play and as my throttle...

    First Ride Impressions

    I appreciate your reply as right now I am definately not liking the 125 for my use. It was the first real ride as winter didn't want to end but will give the 13 tooth sprocket a try and put some more miles on it. I never got out of first gear in the 4.8 miles I put on the bike out in the...
