Petrol in oil tank
Stuck float on the carburetor will cause this. Be sure to get all of the fuel out of the oil by changing oil and filter before running.

I am too short for my 125 r honda how do i adjust
my mrs is just the same, measure the bike whilst you are sat on it. from the number plate to the floor and also a similar fixed point on the front to the floor (the most forward fairing bolt maybe) jack up bike rear end take a look at the shock mount on swing arm. un do bolt. move shocks position in swing arm bracket until you realise where if the holes where drilled it would secure and the rear wheel would be closer to the seat effectively lowering the rear. drill new holes. start with a small 3mm pilot and move up to i think 10mm was the size. make sure that you don't make these holes to close to the edge of the metal. drill speed real slow and lots of pressure. you are drilling metal and so you need less speed and more push like you are cutting not drilling. once complete refit rear shock bolt in new hole.sit on and take a new measurement of rear number plate to floor. write down the difference between old hight and new height. undo fork leg securing bolts. 10mm socket i think. slide leg up to match the difference on the back. retighten, do the other leg. make sure both legs measure the same!!! measure the front and rear. the rear may change slightly due to angles. readjust until correct. get a small amount cut from the middle of the side stand and have it welded together. ensuring the bike stands right. done, one happy shorty. enjoy.
Frot wheel stiff when pushing in neutral can this
It can be a number of things. If you want to rule out the frnt brake being the problem. Place a flat screwdriver between the front break pads and gently pri them apart. This will stop any friction and if the bike still doesn't move easily, then its not the breaks. It is normal for the breaks to create a little resistance even when not being used. Please remember though that this is a major safety area and if you think you have break problems, obviously see a creditable mechanic. Most bike shops will happily give your bike a quick "once over" for no charge.
My Bikes Electric start wont
do the lights come on? if so do they dim when the starter button is pressed? do you hear the starter relay ticking when starter button is pressed? try push starting it and if you can start it you can ride it to a repair shop. is it the original battery? if so change it as it will not be too good at that age.
Cbr 125 struggling and cutting out on me when driving!
ALWAYS have a fire extinguisher on hand when working on carburetors.
Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Is there any water or trash in the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the tank. Is there any water or trash in the cup? Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a water trap bowl ).
Drain the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carb to fill with gas. Install a new stock NGK spark plug and try to start the engine. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetor from the engine.
Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Remove the idle screw and the air screw on the outside throat of the carb and spray into the screw holes as well.

Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two adjusters down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each adjuster one and one half turns outward. Before putting the slide back in the throat of the carb, move the clip on the jet needle one notch lower. Put the rest of the carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine. This process should get you back on the road.
