Hello all, I recently brought a used Honda CBF-125 2009 and up until now everything was fine, but as i got off the bike today i noticed the chain was really slack, now i'm not really a bike person (more of a car) but is there an easy fix way to tighten the chain? and if so how do i do it?

many thanks

Symon.

Did you get a owners manual with the bike? It usually shows you how in there.

Usually a case of undoing the rear axle nut a bit then using the adjusters on the swing arm to move the rear wheel back a bit. Go out have a look and you'll probably be able to work it out.

He bought it, then brought it home.

I hate it when people say "I think you'll find..." in some smug, irritating nasal tone. I want to beat them.

Complete posts full of txt speak, yes it needs pointing out but one simle mistake? WiiLKO... perhaps spend the day out side in the real world instead of worrying about one word on a forum?

This Honda CG125 guide should be a good starting place.

Have you done your CBT?
If not you shouldn't be riding.
If so, then maybe you should do it again. Basic maintenence & adjustment is in lesson one!
Its also in the owners manual for the bike.
And the haynes.
Its really easy, and its EXPECTED you check and adjust your own chain, and brakes, and tyres and oil...... you know like the windscreen washer bottle, oil, coolant and tyres on a car.
