CB125K3 - Future Project

TrickyMicky:
Looking ahead, (a few weeks???) to when you are ready to kick it into life, do not be tempted to re-position the kick start into a more vertical position. If they are in any way similar to the old CD175, people used to do this, and on a good full swing right to the bottom the mechanism used to punch a hole in thetop casing.

Ah ok, that’s interesting as I had previously looked at a CD175 tha had a crack in the top casing that I couldn’t work out, that now makes sense.

Johnwebley:
An early forerunner of the 175 and 200,

If you decide to get a new coil, ensure it has a low ohm primary circuit,
I think close to 3,

I had a coil with a higher resistance, and it wouldn't spark above 7k

Took me ages to find out the issue

You need to speak with Richard on here member RGP750 .. he has almost finished restoring a rare UK one ...  very few genuine UK CB125K3's sold in the UK....  Not sure why as brilliant little bikes.

Well, I have been tinkering away with this little thing and I’ve managed to get it reassembled, I’ve had it running and riding up the road, it goes through all the gears and stops!

I did have a bit of a job getting the paperwork sorted but nothing majorly difficult, just time consuming, so it now has a V5 in my name.

I’ve not 100% decided what I’m going to do with this one yet but I’m pretty sure I will sell it as a runner with paperwork. I will hopefully be getting the frame back for the CB350 K2 that I bought last summer after its had some welding done and been powder coated, so that will need putting back together and I’m also meant to be picking up an XL350 soon, I just don’t have enough room for everything.

It’s been really interesting working out what was in the various boxes, what was needed, what goes where etc… I even had a go at shortening the brake and clutch cables, which worked a treat.

Thanks as always for the help and guidance here.
