Honda-SOHC

I bought my son (when he was 17) a CG125 (the Brazilian model from the 80's)

It was everything the Jap CG125 was but had 12V electrics and more modern styling.

There are a few on here from that neck of the woods.

Are the pillion footpegs on the swingarm or the frame?

Have you had any training?

I am an IAM Observer and even "Advanced Motorcyclists" screw up the slow riding.

The trick is:

• Look at where you want to go - not at the front wheel!
• Slip the clutch and dab the back brake
• Do not use the front brake
• Shift your weight back to get it off your wrists and the bars

The most important of these is the first. You MUST look up the road at your intended destination - not at where your front wheel is going. Use the throttle and back brake to control the bike.

You have to practise. Find an empty car park in an industrial estate on a Sunday morning and ride in and out of the white lines!

Thanks guys.

I was always aware of the "stale fuel" problem - but more to do with trying to start the bike once per year for an MOT and finding the carbs bunged up!

I take it this could happen in mere days?
