Hi, (first post!).

I recently have bought a 2002 Honda Cg125 to use while i am on a CBT licence and it has developed a slight squeak from what spears to be the front wheel bearing, are these serviceable or should i just replace them? is it worth a shot striping them and re-packing them with high-temp grease?

Dry bearings are a very common problem (but make sure it's not the disc squeaking). So long as there's no play in the bearings, repacking them with grease is fine.

Are you sure it isn't just a squeaky front brake? Dust in drum equals squeak/squeal.

Well i did clean the drum/shoes and the entire assembly before refitting and it seems to have gone, could have been either but its gone now and brakes are better, probably need some new shoes soon though Sad
