Oil control Rings and Valve guide are worn.

How many miles?

Do you whip the shit out it at all times? Keep the throttle pinned back?

These engines are bullet proof in normal use.

Trying to keep up with my mate over last few days on his bike ( GSX650F ) i kept the bike at 55-60mph that means full throttle yes. And trying to get to 60mph quick as possible, so we can make ground.

Millage : 26,899Miles

Check your oil levels immediately. Take out the dip stick, clean it, put it back in and make sure it's within range when you look at it. If you're burning oil eventually the piston won't be lubricated enough and you will screw up everything.

You need a top end rebuild I suppose. Providing no damage has actually been done from lack of oil you need to take the top of the engine off and replace the piston rings and or the piston its self. Might want to get some gaskets to do it as well. It's not that expensive if you can do it yourself or find someone else to do it.

Our CG makes 70 (Confirmed on with my GPS) but it's not good for the engine.
60 should be ok though.

26000 is not excessive but it depends on how the engine has been treated through this life.
Hammering when cold, late oil changes, over speeding the engine (changing down too early) and a host of other abusive practices can cause premature wear.

How long have you had the bike?

Get the engine warm, carefully remove the oil dip stick, there should be a bit of smoke/vapour/gas pressure comes out of the hole, but it should not be howling out.
If it is that is a sign of Back Pressure.

It is an expensive repair. Unless you know ho to strip and rebuild an engine.
But you can get a used engine on ebay or somewhere. May be a cheaper/easier option if your engine is gubbed.

Best take it to a bike shop for a proper mechanic to look at. (Maybe several shops and get a better price range.)

Example of a decent engine. Some are maybe no better than wot u got.

before you invest in a top end rebuild, is it black or blue smoke?

Blueish smoke is oil. black smoke is rich running.

I would go with the Oil control Rings and Valve guide are worn. It is a common issue on these bikes anyway after a while.

Check the mixture first though before doing the above. Any good mechanic will do the aovr in an hour so not too expensive to be done.

A compresion check would determine the valve guides

Hi

The oil is fully topped up as i did this in soon after i got it, 40/10 oil. So lack of oil is not a problem.

The smoke at start had a blue -ist color now its just clear/white smoke when slowing down like what u see coming out of the exhaust when its cold weather from cars.

[Alexio]

If the smoke is bluish I would say that even though your oil was fine when you topped it up, that doesn't mean it's going to be ok now.

That was a very ambiguous post, does that mean you've actually checked your oil level with your dip stick or that your assuming it's fine because it was fine the last time you topped it up?

The Honda CG 125 only cost me 385 pounds fully taxed and mot'ed.

And only got it to learn on and do my manual Test.

As long as it last a few months it should be ok. only thing i wanna spend money on is doing oil service and keep oil change every 2,000 miles.

So far i have Tightened and oiled up the chain, cleaned electrical connectors, added some redX to the petrol to clean the fule sytem out.

Toke Back wheel of and lined it up propa as it was out of aliment.

Mite have a valve serivce and suft if i pass test on it and wana keep it as a 2nd back for work

[Alexio]

CG's are fantastically cheap but at the risk of sounding like a broken record:

If it's visibly burning oil then the amount of oil in there will not last 2000 miles. Think about it.

And then you'll have a CG that's worth absolutely nothing. Your plan is a good one but check the oil levels more often and everything should be absolutely fine

Hello

I don't quite understand that comment ?

Explain ?

[Alexio]

I think cloric_tzr is trying to say that the friend who told you that there is smoke coming out of your exhaust is not a very good friend for telling you because it's not a nice thing to hear.

Well before i go any further, i don't have a sense of humor.

The guy that told me is my best mate ( biker mate ) i assume smoke is bad coming out of the bikes exhaust. but why would that make him a bad mate for informing me of something the bike shouldn't be doing ?

If it s a joke thing, sorry i don't have much of a sense of humor.

[cloric_tzr]

it was a joke however i can apreciate u not necaserily finding it funny BUT.
i do have to pick up on 1 thing

[X9-rider]

Sorry guys my sense of humor dyed up a long time ago, long story!
