Posted: 14:52 - 18 Jan 2022 Post subject: CBF125 2012 Ignition Barrel/Fuse |
|
|
Hi folks,
I took out my CBF125 for a spin this weekend to make sure everything is all nice and dandy before I will start commuting. So I adjusted the chain, checked the brakes & took it to the petrol station to inflate the tyres. As I was leaving the station the bike all of the sudden died on me completely - not just the engine, all the lights went off. So I pushed it to the side and upon further inspection I found out that one of the two cables from the ignition barrel cam of and only made connection when the bar was in a specific position.
I whipped out my soldering iron and tried to wiggle into there and solder it back on but now it's not coming up at all. Even though the cable is soldered back on nothing seems to be coming up when turning the key.
I have ordered a new ignition barrel and will give it a shot replacing it the next weekend but now I'm worried I have blew the fuse when soldering.
Are there any other fuses apart from the ones here?

Many thanks,

Over the years I've had a few of these switches to bits and often been able to fix them.
With the switch removed from the underneath there is usually a bakelite disk with the wires soldered on to brass contacts , this is usually held in with 3 or 4 crimps, that can be bent back allowing the disk to be removed ( watching out that various small springs, ball bearings and contacts don't fly everywhere) .
What has usually happened is that in our lovely climate raindrops/ water has found its way past the lock bit into the switch bit and made a horrid goop with the grease that is supposed to be in there, usually causing the contacts or the moving contact to corrode up. Clean everything up , with wet and dry/ sandpaper/ emery /whatever ( tomato sauce is good here for cleaning small bits ( immerse for an hour or two then rinse)- shiny!) New grease , bang it back together - re crimp bakelite in place - away to go.
Since new locks are on Ebay for beans it's often not worth it, but hey you might be stuck- not in stock etc. ____________________ All the above is my personal opinion, you can see my lips move, but I'm talking out of my arse.
I've been riding, and fixing , bikes for 50 years, in that time the more I learn, the less I am absolutely sure of..... |

Looks like there is one on top of the battery cover too (thought could just be a spare). Its going to be worth removing the barrel and really going over the wiring coming out of it, making sure nothing is still shorting.
Do you have a test light or multimeter? these are going to come in very handy and remove guesswork. |
So I reckon we are talking about the part 8? I noticed that the part 18 its your typical car fuse so if the new barrel itself not going to be enough, I will replace that.

Right, so it seems that it's all good!
Only two issues:
1) Wires from the switch are way too short (which is weird because it's specificaly for my model and all of them available on ebay seem to be the same) so I will have to exchange that
2) Someone (probably before I bought the bike) tried to remove the mounting bolts with a grinder and the bolt is mostly flat and useless. I want to replace that but to get the the bolts from Honda Motorcycle Parts (part 16), it will cost 6 quid for delivery and all together comes down to 10 quid (for two bolts!). Do you reckon I could just use this instead (given I will go for the M6x12)? |
