2011 Honda CBF125 ECU Codes
The 2011 Honda CBF125 doesn't have a traditional OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics) system like cars do, so it doesn't have specific error codes like P0XXX codes. However, it does have an Engine Control Unit (ECU) that can detect certain faults and issues with the engine or other systems. When a fault is detected, the ECU may illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the instrument cluster to alert the rider that there is a problem.
If your Honda CBF125 is displaying the MIL or experiencing any issues, you can perform a manual diagnostic check by accessing the self-diagnostic mode. Here's how you can do it:
- Turn the Ignition Switch Off: Ensure the ignition switch is in the off position.
- Locate the Diagnostic Connector: The diagnostic connector on the Honda CBF125 is usually located under the seat or near the fuse box. It's a white, 2-pin connector with a rubber cap.
- Short the Diagnostic Connector: Use a piece of wire or a paperclip to short the two pins of the diagnostic connector together.
- Turn the Ignition Switch On: Turn the ignition switch to the on position while keeping the diagnostic connector shorted.
- Count the Number of Flashes: The MIL on the instrument cluster will begin to flash. Count the number of flashes to determine the error code. Each code consists of a series of short flashes followed by a long flash. For example, three short flashes followed by one long flash indicate error code 31.
- Refer to the Service Manual: Once you have determined the error code, refer to the service manual for the Honda CBF125 to interpret the code and diagnose the specific issue.

Remember to remove the shorting wire or paperclip from the diagnostic connector after you have completed the diagnostic check. If you're unable to diagnose the issue yourself, it's best to take the motorcycle to a qualified mechanic or dealership for further diagnosis and repair.
2010 Honda Fury how to adjust the idle speed
To adjust the idle speed on a 2010 Honda Fury, you'll typically need to locate the idle adjustment screw. Here's a general guide:
- Locate the Idle Adjustment Screw: It's usually located near the carburetor or throttle body. On the Honda Fury, it might be located on the side of the throttle body. It's typically a small screw with a knob or a slot for a screwdriver.
- Warm Up the Engine: Start the motorcycle and let it warm up to normal operating temperature. This ensures that the idle speed adjustment is accurate.
- Identify the Current Idle Speed: Use a tachometer to measure the current idle speed. The ideal idle speed for the Honda Fury should be specified in the owner's manual. Typically, it's around 1100-1200 RPM (revolutions per minute).
- Adjust the Idle Screw: Turn the idle adjustment screw clockwise to increase the idle speed and counterclockwise to decrease it. Make small adjustments, usually a quarter or half turn at a time.
- Monitor the Tachometer: While making adjustments, keep an eye on the tachometer to ensure that the idle speed is within the recommended range.
- Test Ride: After making adjustments, take the motorcycle for a short test ride to ensure that the idle speed is stable and that the engine responds well to throttle inputs.
- Fine-Tune if Necessary: If the idle speed is still not within the recommended range or if the engine response is not satisfactory, make further adjustments as needed.
- Secure the Adjustment: Once you're satisfied with the idle speed, tighten any locking nuts or screws that secure the idle adjustment screw to prevent it from changing unintentionally.
- Always refer to the specific instructions provided in the owner's manual for your Honda Fury, as the location of the idle adjustment screw and the recommended idle speed may vary slightly depending on the model year and any aftermarket modifications that have been made to the motorcycle
2011 Honda VT1300CS rear turn signals not working
do they blink as normal? if so this is all they should do the front lamps are continously lit as side lights but are not required on the back, check the wires going to them if they are flashers only their will be two wires, if theirs three they have side lights also, after this check the bulbs Regards Jim,,,
1997 Honda CBR 1100 XX Super blackbird only runs with choke
did you clean the carbs your self? it seems like the slow jets are blocked take them out and spray carb cleaner through them. if you cant see fluid going straight through they are blocked,, if so replace them or try find a strand of very fine wire to poke through them, i use an old throttle cable cut it and unravel the strands until you hasve a single one to pass through.
Honda 500 TRX fa6 has PS on the dash….what does it mean ?
The Power Steering has failed. There has been a factory recall for a suddenly failing electrical steering shaft, that could cause the rider to loose control. This does not have to be your problem but anyhow either the electronics or the pump failed. Error codes or messages usually have to be erased by a simple reset procedure or disconnecting a plug, after repairs are done.

2003 Honda VT 750 C2 Shadow carburetor adjustment
Let's focus on adjusting the air/fuel mixture. This adjustment can help balance the fuel-to-air ratio for both cylinders. Here are the steps you can follow:
Idle Screw (Air/Fuel Mix):
The idle screw, also known as the pilot screw, adjusts the air/fuel mixture at idle. It affects the fuel flow from the pilot jets (idle jets) into the carburetors.
Locate the idle screw on your carburetor. It's usually a small black knob near the choke.
Turn the idle screw to achieve the desired idle speed. Listen to how the bike sounds while adjusting it.
Note: Adjusting the idle screw shouldn't significantly affect the mixture setting.
Pilot Screw (Idle Mixture):
The pilot screw (idle mixture screw) fine-tunes the air/fuel mixture from idle rpm up to about 1/8th throttle.
To access the pilot screws, you may need to remove the air box and carb side cover.
The factory default setting for the pilot screws is typically 2.5 turns out.
Carefully screw each one in until it lightly seats closed, and then count the number of turns.
You can adjust the pilot screws to make the mixture richer (more turns out) or leaner (less than 2.5 turns).
Dual Carburetor Sync:
Since your bike has dual carburetors, it's essential to ensure they are synchronized.
Use a vacuum gauge set to synchronize the carbs. Adjust the linkage screw until both throttle butterflies are in the same position for idle2.
Synchronization helps maintain consistent performance between the front and rear cylinders.
Check Rear Cylinder Idle:
If the rear cylinder isn't running correctly at idle, it could be due to a partially plugged idle jet.
Consider cleaning the carburetors if needed. While it can be a bit of work, it's essential for proper performance.
If the issue persists, consult a mechanic or consider opening up the carburetor for a thorough inspection.
Remember to take your time and make gradual adjustments. If you're unsure, consult your bike's service manual or seek professional assistance.
