cb125 clutch

[Garth84x]

Hi again, so im new to working on bikes rather than cars, and seeing that my bike is in bits at the moment i thought that i might as well fit a new clutch.

question is what do i buy? just the friction plates, as i cant find a clutch kit as you would get on a car.

bike is a '84 cb125 superdream.

thanks for the help

welcome to the wonderful world of bikes,
you are just that little bit cooler now

check the metal plates on a peice of glass to make sure they are flat and havn't warped, usually they are sweet as, so you should only require the friction plates,
www.wemoto.com is probably the best and cheapest place to get them, and all your usual spares

have fun

As said, usually just need friction plates.

Because they sit in oil all the time and have multiple plates, motorbike clutches don't tend to get such a hiding as car ones. May need new springs because they've probably been sat compressed in there for the last 25 years, your workshop manual should have a minimum acceptable free length for the springs you can check.

You don't need it to change the springs and plates, but the centre nut that holds the clutch basket to the gearbox shaft on Hondas of that era is often a special sort that you need a castellated socket to remove. You can either buy one or butcher an old socket with an angle grinder. As said though, not necessary just to swap out the plates.

Air wrenches are a godsend for removing clutch centre nuts, very hard to stop the whole lot rotating otherwise.

It's a good engine to learn about motorbikes on. It's all fairly small, reasonably well put together and realtively inexpensive.

It has everything you'd expect to find on a bigger bike, just simpler.

They are mockingly called a Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM) but it's not far from the truth and not necessarily a bad thing.
