New to forum, new to 4 stroke engines.
Got myself a CBR125R 61 plate. I am looking to buy a new exhaust but have few questions regarding bike sound/performance/setup.

Will any of these exhausts be good ?

I am not looking to spend much, just to replace the really rusted standard exhaust. Few questions about these, is there any kind of remap needed after changing these?

Would it be better to buy a whole exhaust system, or maybe just the better end can, for example 'Arrow'? Not looking for performance gains here, just looks and "ok" sound.

Are these danmoto exhausts any good? Some of them do NOT sound good, states they are debaffled, will this be extremely loud? Can I make it quieter?

Thanks.[/url]

As Charlie said I wouldn't touch those, as its a 125 you wouldn't really notice any performance increase and would just probably become a nuisance to the neighbourhood.

Try this https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/cbr_125_r/14/

Hope it helps

tl;dr version: replace downpipe with Black Widow, retain the stock end can unless it's wrecked.

Not looking for performance, I can see they're bad exhausts, mine is fully rusted, including the downpipe.

What about the Black Widow exhausts?

Are you taking the rusted old pipe off yourself?
If so, may the force be with you.

Any Danmoto can will be ear bleedingly loud, I speak from experience.

If it was mine, i'd fork out the extra few quid on a Venom system from Motard. Nice tone but not too loud.

As for taking the exhaust off yourself, proceed with caution. The CBR125 exhausts are notorious. If you some how manage to get the nuts off the studs without snapping them, the chances are the exhaust header has seized into the engine and are a nightmare to get out. Last one involved a bit of heat an a good amount of time with a Dremel!

Maybe the black one, too bad these mufflers don't have an db killer in them. When changing the exhaust, remember to richen the fuel mixture and maybe change the air filter too, it will give a noticeable boost. And when running a bit rich you get nice bopping sounds Cool

E: Saw the blackwidow, it'll be much better and has a db killer so you get a decent sound that isn't too loud.

Wouldn't bother touching the mixture or the filter with these bikes, and tbh, you'll feel nothing different in terms of power. Will have a nice noise though and the over run sounds come as standard with any 'Performance' exhaust on the CBRs.

Well atleast it's good to check the spark plug after changing the exhaust. I have 150cc kit on my bike with stock clutch and I changed the air filter, main jet and muffler and now the clutch is slipping and adjusting doesn't help. I can feel increase in power.

Well clearly, You've got a 150cc kit on it... Hardly the same as a new exhaust is it?

Well, when you've got a racebike, you need to fit racebike clutch springs.

Well it made a difference for me because the muffler restricted a lot and changing it gave better performance. CBR muffler maybe different than mine.

Yeah, I'm waiting for new clutch plates. Does up-rated mean tighter clutch springs or better life? My new walker clutch springs are 17% up-rated. It's quite hard to find better springs for CG125 especially as I don't want to pay 50€ for them.
