Keep it clean , wipe over exposed bits with an oily rag.
Spray all the nooks and crannys with ACF-50.
Remember not to wipe the seat or tyres or discs with oil ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

You have a CB125F, the bike with the notoriouse 'fast flux' reputation is the CBF125..... made in a different factory in a different country.
Yeah.... it gets confusing, 'cos 'Onda have been making the CB125 since something like 1973, and used the same model designation on... lets see...
CB125S... original air-cooled OHC four-stroke single
CB125T... twin cylinder, air-cooled OHC
CB125TD.. mono-shock twin cylinder successor to 'T'
CB125RS... single cylinder four-stroke, using the re-engineered CB125'S' engine, from the XL125 dirt-bike!
Then after a couple of decades pushing the push-rod OHV CG125 single, it leaps to the
CB'F'125, which is ISTR an air-cooled OHC four-stroke single... with an engine unrelated to the tooling of the earlier singles or twins... made in India, with a rust-issue.
CB125F, which I believe uses the water-cooled and fuel injected engine from the CB'R'125, for 21st century emmissions regs, early examples I think made in Japan....
Which is hint to be sure you are explicit in describing the exact 'See-Bee one-two-five' you have... they have made a lot of them over the decades, and reccyled the model coding!
Other than that... its a bike.... more still, its a learner-bike.... all steel rusts, especially where the paint gets scraped.... you want it to stay looking shiny, your best bet is to try not scraping paint, or chrome, and your best way to do that is to learn to ride... which suggests getting a full licence, and not just relying on the first lesson of CBT to exploit L-Plate laws to ride unsupervised as if you had passed tests without actually taking them.
Beyond that, basic maintenence; keep it clean; pay attension to the user manual and service shedule; tension and oil the chain when it neds; change the oil as required, sont over tighten the sump plug when you do, be careful not to bend or strip the chain adjusters, and remember to loosen the axle bolt before tensioning, sort of stuff...
It Learner-Bike, neglect and abuse is endemic and expected, you dont have to do maintenance brilliantly to stay ahead of the pack... just do 'some'!!! A-N-D try to keep it rubber side down!
Even the rust-a-lot CBF will loose more of its looks in less time, from fumbling wheeling it out the shed, and dropping it on the drive, than tin-worm will do in a week... so don't sweat the small stuff. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
