Honda NS125-RK advice please!

[freddy25]

Hi all,

I have recently bought the above bike and it has a crack in the Thermostat cover.

I rung up lings honda parts and they have one for the RK for £13, but when I gave my chassis number he said it was an RH model and the thermostat cover for the RH was different and they had none available. I have checked the log book, and the chassis and engine numbers match up, but it says its an RK.

Are these parts/bikes actually different? and if anyone can help me find one i would be most appreciative!

Thanks in advance for your help

Ring diffrent Honda dealers as they will be a discontinued part!

Keep Looking on eBay for parts

I'm keeping my eyes open but I need to know if theres a difference between the RH and RK model!

[freddy25]

Rang Honda again, very helpful chap told me theres no difference between NS125-RK RL RH etc.

So the part number im after is 12304KR1760 if anyone knows of anyone breaking one of these or where I can source one, please let me know! CMSNL want too much delivery!

There's no difference, the R-K, F etc were just fairing type changes, mechanically they all seem to be the same.

I have a very poorly one tucked away in shed; you mean you need the bit at the top of the cylinder head for the rad hose, or the little nipple bit that the temp gauge wire clips onto?

Hi Steve,

Sorry to hear yours is not well!

I'm pretty sure its the bit at the top of the cylinder head for the radiator hose. This is what it looks like - https://www.cmsnl.com/products/cover-thermostat_12304kr1760/

If you could help me out I would be MOST appreciative!

[st3v3]

I'll be down where mine is Saturday, I know the engine is working and intact so if that bit comes off you can have it for a fiver, which covers postage and packaging it.

Yeah my bad, I meant no actual running differences, hence the mechanical note at the end.

hi freddy heres a website that i've used for my ns125rl and they have fairly cheap parts that are good quality, https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/ns_125_rh_rk_rl/88-93/ Also if you need any other parts i've got loads lying around as spares.

[freddy25]

Thanks Mr Jermy, I do use Wemoto for most things! They are spot on.
Will let you know if I need anything else on my quest to make this roadworthy again, will drop you a PM!
Right now I'm waiting on this part from Steve. then I can move on to the next bit!! Cheers mate!

[mr-jermy]

No worries mate, I've probably got enough parts lying around to build a bike lol yeah mate drop me a message and I'll see what I can sort out good luck I'm currently doing up a ns125R-L

[st3v3]

I went to get it today, but it's not salvage-able.

Actually seeing the bike there's more bits damaged than I recalled.

If it's too far, would anyone consider posting?

Thanks for the responses! Much appreciated.

[mr-jermy]

ah right im based in norwich, is there any other parts that you require as i could post as a 'jot lot' as it were to cut any potential costs down, if not i can post the one item no problems

[st3v3]

[mr-jermy]

hi steve dont suppose you have a thermostat lying around do you?

[freddy25]

Heh heh cheers for the pic steve!

Mr Jermy - Norwich! Was up in Norfolk not too long ago actually for a hog roast, what a shame i didnt have the bike then!
As for the thermostat cover, It's only that piece I need I think! If i need more I will enquire at a later date. Steve was going to send me the thermo cover for a fiver to cover costs, would you accept the same? I'm hoping to get working on it this weekend!

Thanks again chaps
