why my honda cbr 125 respol only hitting 55-60mph

[P.]

[flumpy7]

Ignore all these other jokers

They dont know what they're on about. As far as i can tell, you've bought the low power version cbr. Its an easy mistake to make. The full power version hits about 118 mph.

You can convert it though - if you can source three more cylinders they should just bolt staight on.

Hope that helps

Fair enough you wanting to doll it up and look nice but in my opinion and many others, you should invest that money in passing your test and putting it away for a good proper bike. That was you'll have the speeds and the looks, and most importantly what you're forgetting

GIRLS DONT GET WET FOR L PLATES

They should call them bender badges, at least people would try and get rid of them that way.

On a brighter note, you're not alone, thousands of other riders start with that same thought as you, hell even I was looking at CBRs and chinese crap before I came to BCF

But that means you should be able to get good resale on it, provided you don't waste too much money on it

I'm not really sure what happened to the last post...you quoted it all weird mate

tldr; pass tests, get an actual sports bike to kill yourself with

Btw most people who actually know bikes will see you on that and think "that guys got more money than sense" just like the YZFR125

But hell if you've got money to throw on shiny things then fair enough, but from your OP it doesn't seem like you do. Get something affordable and practical and learn to ride properly on it before you move onto sports

Also everyones trolling you and taking the piss because you type, sound and act what one would describe as 'chavvy'
I'm sure you're not, but it's how you're coming across with your broken english, buddy

hello, i just replacing parts need done mate, i dont have that much cash mate some people pay 2k for a bike,

[P.]

Just Morrisons 10w40 mineral oil.

You have to change oil regularly, might as well make it cheap stuff on a 125

[jamie182861]

going have we look at shops online see bud

[Alpha-9]

I thought you were saying it's not as fast as you expected?

Then there's no parts you need, if you're short on cash then simply don't spend any.
You're better off practicing riding the thing than dolling it up for silly money to get the same back as you paid for it

Think with your head not your heart
I would have ended up with a 2stroke NSR to commute on otherwise

Only once you've taken them off your bike so they can wear them, clearly demonstrated by your pictures, try hanging a CBR round your neck, L plate included

Yamalube is only suitable for Yamaha engines; that's half your problem I'd imagine. The clue's in the name...

Bunch of cnuts and no mistake.

The reason some 125's are a lot quicker than others is down to the type of engine mate. Most of the new current bikes use the slower but more enviro friendly 4 stroke engines. They are VERY expensive to tune and even that gives very minimal returns.

If you wants to go quicker get a 2 stroke bike, look out for the Honda NSR it's a much better bike all round than the CBR and tuned it will reach 90+.

Forget tuning the CBR even if you spent a couple of grand on it I seriously doubt you would break 80mph with it. But £1500 buys you a very quick NSR125R.

Also there is nothing wrong with your subframe and your bikes not designed to go any quicker than 65mph. Maybe you could play with the sprocket sizes to get a few MPH out of it, maybe you are heavier/lighter than last owner and it was geared to suit them, but that's clutching at straws really bud. The CBR looks the part, but that's all it is. The NSR is a much better bike all round.

Ignore the rest of the codgers, they are so old they forget what is was like to be 17 and skint "pass your test pass your test pass your test" costs money to pass tests and insurance is ridiculous enough for 17 yr olds on a 125....back when this lot were 17 they didn't have tests

I love the fact that even if he got an RS/NSR... a bigger bike will do faster than his bike can do in 1 gear

But, using Yamaha oil won't affect it. Why would it, are you putting it in your Yamaha? Are you using other oil? Is it dead? No...

Passing your test costs the price of a decent air filter and a service.
£121.50 isn't a lot is it.

We aren't all cunts

[jamie182861]

yamaha dealers said would be fine 2 use this stuff, yamalube

[jamie182861]

so can someone be clear motercycle dealer said yamalube 10-40w would be ok

plus big bikes test cost 600 quid plus where would get cash bike bigger bike

[Alpha-9]

Id go for an unrestricted NSR myself if I was that sort of person. (the kind of person that breaks terms of his license, gets an LC20 and pays thousands in insurance for the rest of his life and gets banned for the inevitable time he was caught speeding ontop of that then turns to a life of crime and drugs before sucking mens dick in the gutter for change to by his next fix)

No not me man, i'm not going down like that

ANY 10W-40 OIL IS FINE IN MY OPINION BUT I'D STICK TO SEMI-SYNTH
