yesterday i was riding braking and changing down gears from about 30mph, brought my cluth in, went to change down, as my foot went down it made a grinding noise and heavy vibrations on my foot, it was as if my clutch wasnt in, put in panic i let my clutch out and got a surge of power and my back wheel skidded about.
Its a Honda CG 125,
any ideas of what it could be?
any help would be cool thanks Very Happy

The clutch adjusted right?
The back wheel locking up suggests that you've dropped it down a gear too early.

Another CG with problems Shocked

Could just be time for an oil change or you could be low on oil.

surge of power from a cg Shocked

you sure the clutch was pulled all the way in and the cable housing was still seated correctly.

change your oil if you haven't changed it recently and look for bits of metal and stuff in the old stuff

Has it only done it once? Just sounds like you gave it a half hearted press downwards and it hasn't gone into the gear properly and kicked it back out, used to happen quite regularly on my NTV.
