Honda CG 125 Question. Left Crank Case Cover

[Krad Oren]

Hello all,

I own a Honda CG125 2000.

I'd like to take off the left crank case cover. Can I do so without any oil pissing out? I also noticed a gasket as well. Anything I need to watch out for?

Reason being I need to remove this cover inorder to access my engine-to-frame bolts to tighten top one and replace the lower one as its snapped.
(Previous owner never told me / knew about it)
The lower one is also vibrating and causing annoyance to my ears when riding. Felt like I was raping the engine.

Thought something else was wrong engine wise until I gave it a good looking over and found the cause.

Would give me a good excuse to start painting the engine case to get it cleaner looking!

There's no oil behind the left hand cover

Expect a shitload of black crud up by the front sprocket tho.

yes and watch out for the neutral sw coming out...........is part number 7 the insulated plastic spacer to keep the neutral sw in when the cover is on............green/red wire......

you could always make your own gasket, a biro, some cardboard, a woodwork self centre drill 6mm and some patience.....but dont do it on your mouseman........chipendale.....

Yeah like the guy above said, it is a crushable(not sure on the technical term) gasket, so once crushed in place, it should be changed for a new one.

It's a piece of piss to remove tho and difficult to do any harm so don't worry man

I'd recommend taking a toothbrush to the front sprocket and cleaning all the crap out while its off tho, mine had tons!

Is yours the 2000 W model?
If so gaskets are halfway down the page https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/cg_125_w/98-00/

Just noticed you have an enclosed chain case, guess that answers if they keep crud off your chain or not!
...may have to order myself one of those
