Re: Honda 125 Stunner CBF
Even though Honda recommends 10w30 oil. I prefer 10w40 or 15w40 grade oils they perform good. Unless it is winter.Originally posted by vivekdinda View Posthi guys, my stunner is 1.5 year old and has done 8000k+ kms. I'm fed up with the engine oil that the service guys provide at Honda as it dies after 1500kms or less and because of the engine noise and vibrations. What is the recommended Engine oil for Stunner? Should I go for fully Synthetic or Semi Synthetic? And what viscosity Grade should i Keep In mind? Thank you.
You can use semi synth or full synth also but i don't find VFM factor in those

Re: Honda 125 Stunner CBF
Hello everyone! Rookie here!
It gives me great pleasure to present to you my motorcycle which I have tweaked to my liking and desire.
It started out as a humble Honda CBF 125 Stunner, purchased from a friend at a price no 3 year old under-ridden, not very well maintained bike should be purchased at. It looked decent but didn't have the oomph I wanted. Three years of not being ridden beyond 3rd gear do that to a bike. So I spent my time, blood, sweat and money to bring back the sleeping horses, all 11 of them. It was great to be back, the bike said, and rewarded me with fun filled rides on NH 4.
But that wasn't enough. I needed something more, the bike wanted to give me more. It had the grunt but it lacked the aggression. I decided to take matters into my own hands. Now let me remind you of the deplorable state the bike was in. Three years old when it came to me, 3k km on the odometer, speedometer cable broken, clutch half worn and petrol tank rusted on the inside from inadequate protection from the weather.
My work begins. I found a trusty mechanic to sort the niggles in the engine because the service centres didn't really do their jobs right. Next I scoured the market for a tank that wasn't rusted on the inside and found one after a month of searching. The tank went off for cleaning, dent removal and a base coat of red oxide.
Next came the fairing. Two hours and a small spanner kit is all it took for me to change the look of the bike. The fairing came off, the handlebar was removed, flipped, dropped and reattached, the controls switched to their rightful positions. The look I was aiming for was the clubman bars from classic motorcycles on whose pictures I have drooled asleep. The stock handlebars had to be heated and bent at the bends to bring them in a more comfortable reach and position. At six feet tall, my reach extends beyond that of my friends, so when they try and ride it, it looks like they're sleeping on the tank.
The handlebar was tweaked and ready, now it was time for the console and headlamp. I retained the original console and used the headlamp and mounts of and RX 100. Trusty mechanic to the rescue in helping me fit these together. The tank came back looking better than I expected. I'm no artist so I just painted on black stripe along the contour line.
All in all, these changes have cost me only 4500 rupees. I had my vision made to reality ( as much as a 8000 rupee stipend allowed me to).
Its amazing, goes surprisingly quick ( thanks to my mechanic) and turns heads where ever I go. I really love it and. I am sharing it with you. I'm not a great photographer, so the pictures are from my camera phone.
I hope you find it interesting.
Happy trails!

these are the pics of my stunner..
Ive been looking to install some clip ons onto my cbf 125 but cant find the right parts at all. They wouldn't fit straight on the forks due to the way the front of the bike is. How did you go about it ? Thanks

Re: Honda 125 Stunner CBF
any one out here.....
help me regarding connecting rod top end which has 13 mm hole for piston pin, will it be fine if the connecting rod top end hole is shaved out to fit 14 mm piston pin,
i am concerned about the strength of the rod after shimming 1 mm. Or should i change the connecting rod to 14 mm piston pin hole(unicorn's connecting rod)
more over i have figured out every single aspect about fitting a unicorn's cylinder and piston, every thing is fine and is like factory ready bolt-on procedure except cbf 125's 13 mm pin hole on the connecting rod.

Re: Honda 125 Stunner CBF
Awesome man. I feel that new handle will change the sitting position and wouldn't be good for long rides. Even I'm planning for a make over. My fairings have totally broken and giving some rattling noice. In a dilemma whether to put new fairings or just remove it and make it naked.Originally posted by IronWing View PostHello everyone!

thanks zikzak! initially, the riding position was awkward but i had made the changes to suit my frame and taste so i adapted to it fairly well. now i find it weird to ride "normal" bikes, the ones with the stock riding position. yes, riding long distances is comparatively tiring. i keep alternating between transferring my weight onto my wrists and holding my torso upright with my core. also, i take breaks as needed.
as for your dilemma, its more of a personal choice. whether you see the trait of the naked or faired bike in your bike. i felt my bike had more to offer and hence i took the fairing off. just make sure you go through with whatever you decide, and don't leave it pending. all the best! happy trails!

i use the 10w30 grade from honda for CBR 250R. the grade matches and it works better with the Stunner than the recommended oil.Originally posted by vivekdinda View Posthi guys, my stunner is 1.5 year old and has done 8000k+ kms.

ofcourse, i have this done through a trusty local mechanic. i have stopped getting my bike serviced from the Honda Service Centres. their lack of attention to the job is most annoying and discomforting. it's like they set you up for the next service.
