Japanese Bikes / new 1974 cb 125s
« on: September 28, 2009, 01:44:41 PM »
Hi there.
Just brought a cb125s.
I am very new to the bike thing and don;t really know anthing about it.
I have a haynes manual with it and i have a good mechanical understanding but allways worked on cars.
just wondered if anone knew of anything i should look for imeediatly, the bike starts and runs fine.
The previous owner painted the alloy engin block silver, is there anyway of removing the paint or is it common for them to be painted to preserve the alloy ?
Fingers crossed to a happy biking career.
Any hints on thease little bikes would be greatly appriciated.
Also is any one off to brightona in a couple of weeks.
