This is a Honda CG 125 an everday motorcycle for millions of Pakistanis still in 2023 and still being produced in very large numbers.

Am always amazed at how people can disassemble and reassemble an engine. Looks like sorcery to me.

I am no expert but that engine looks brand new inside. When I was young I bought a motorcycle that was sitting outside for many years, managed to start it up and drove it for 2 years without changing anything, not even the oil, and sold it as it was for double the price. LOL. I would be so scared to put all those pieces back together. Great job!

It’s really nice to know that most bike engines are somewhat similar, so not only was I satisfied, but I also learned a lot watching this

Except for honing the cylinder wall and new rings and grinding the valve seats, that was a flashback to my youth when I rebuilt an Mt 125. Nice work.

Muy buen video artísticamente, desde una vista de un conocedor en mecánica, lo veo solo como una restauración estética, puedo apreciar muchos detalles que no son correctos, cómo por ejemplo, no cambios ningún rodamiento del motor que son muy importantes, no lo vi desarmar las válvulas para asentarlas, limpiarlas ni mucho menos regularlas cuando puso la torre de balancines, tampoco cambio los retenes que con más de 50 años ya no tienen la elasticidad para cumplir su función óptimamente.
Si me gustaron algunos detalles como la puesta a punto, el torque (ahunque solo le dió a la tapa de cilintros) y la fabricación de las empaquetaduras con papel bilumoide que por cierto le faltó la del filtro centrífugo.
En fin, puede que me equivoqué y alla echo esto fuera de camaras pero sería bueno tomar esto en cuenta para un siguiente video.

In Brazil, the CG 125 OHV was in production from 1976 to 2008, being CG 125 at launch, in 1990, it was renamed CG 125 Today, receiving the CDI replacing the platinum in 1992 and also some improvements in the engine, in 1995 it passed to be called CG125 Titan, in 2000 Titan underwent a redesign of the motorcycle, receiving some improvements in internal parts and adoption of electric start, in 2005 it was renamed CG125 Fan, until the end of production of OHV engines in 2008 due to engine no longer meets the restrictions of Promot III. It was the best-selling motorcycle for 32 years. The CG 125 Fan continued to be manufactured from 2009, but with a completely different engine, derived from the CG150 Titan OHC, launched in 2004, the 2009 CG 125 OHC was nicknamed "Bufa".

Really amazing piece of work! Very impressive. Must say though that I was a little surprised that after going to all that work, you didn't grind the valve seats or change the piston rings.
Really enjoyed it though! 😀

When you fired it up are the end it was so smooth but the exhaust sounded like music.

This looks like a Honda CB series engine, just like mine, in Indonesia this engine is very popular and sought after by young people here to be used as material for Honda CB.

Tenho uma CG 1980. Demorei 2 anos para o restauro completo. Ficou espetacular!!!

[BMBM-bzed]

Só faltou funcionar ele, esse é um dos melhores motores produzidos pela Honda aqui no Brasil....

I can see why most people give up these projects, one look at all those parts and I would give up too. Persevere, this project's looking awesome!

I had a 71 Honda SL-125 that eventually had a 145cc powroll kit installed on it and before I did the kit on it i tried blowing it up to see just how tough the little 125 engine was and just held it WTFO for well over 2 minutes straight and nothing WTF that surprised the hell out of me thought for sure it would let loose after just a minute NOPE 🤣💪💪😎
Owned and raced alot of
Honda XR's AND CR 's and I'd have to say that those old air-cooled XR 's were damn near bullet proof ! Keep your oil/filter clean, air filter clean and a fresh plug every now n then and that engine will last
FOREVER 💪😎👍

It was a restoration, not a rebuild. That's why no metal parts were replaced. It was beautiful! I enjoyed watching every minute of it! I don't know why I find it so satisfying to watch!👍

[namtech]

I absolutely love these engines, I have a few clones of these and they are rock solid and cheap/easy to work on, no rattly timing chains and super reliable. Well done on this one, it looks super good after you restored it. Wrench on man!
