2007 Honda cbr 125 cut out while riding and is now dead?
Sorry if this is a tad long…
The past couple of days when i turn my turn my key to start my honda cbr 125 its had a delay before anything happens (like 5-10 seconds until dashboard turns on). Today on my way home from work my bike randomly cut out at 30mph on a busy road! I tried to turn the bike back on but nothing!
so i walked it down the road to a small carpark to have a quick look. I finally got it to turn on but wasn't ready to go (helmet, bag and gloves off) so i turned it off again. When i tried to start it again… NOTHING! Eventually on my long walk home i tried it one last time. It started so i hopped on and got home. Now the bike will not turn on at all! I've charged the battery but i'm a complete noob tbh. Only been riding a few weeks. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Would spark plugs cause a cut out? My friend says that litterally just starts the bike so won't cause a cut out?! Other things i have read is the carb? Likely? Or not?
Thanks in advance!
Added (1). if its electrical is it going to cost a lot to get repaired?
Sounds like a bad ground in the ignition. Which can be difficult to find and confuse a lot of good mechanics. But, there could also be other issues with the electronics associated with the ignition. You may have moisture in the switch, You could have a poorly connected battery. Particularly the negative cable. It is definitely in the electrical system. Has nothing to do with the carburetor. It does not have anything to do with the spark. Since you said the dashboard turns off. I would by-pass the switch and all the safety components. Wire the ignition through the handlebar cut-off switch directly. This, will make stealing your bike very easy. So, after this is done be sure to make a habit of locking your steering.
When you hit the ignition button, does anything happen? IF it clicks or buzzes, then check battery connections to battery. Also check the negative connection to where it earth's on frame. Make sure it's clean, shiny, and rust free. Also the same with the surface it's touching. Weak battery leads can cause clicking and buzzing to, if they're thin and frayed.
IF nothing happens when you switch on the ignition, then it could be switch related as other answer says.
IF it turns over, like wants to start but doesn't, then it could be spark or fuel related (Most likely one of these two). Like a loose spark plug cap, loose spark plug, defective coil etc etc. For fuel, a blockage somewhere in the system from tank to carb, or even inside the carb (Pilot Jet and/or passage).
- My motorcycle won't move out of neutral and the battery is dead? So I didn't have gas and killed the battery trying to start it so when I press the button no click and the kill switch is off so I tried to roll it down my driveway and pop the clutch but now it won't move from neutral it's a 2003 Honda shadow ace 750
- My cbr 125 feels very sluggish and starts twitching on mid range, starts exactly on 6k and stops on 7k? Before 6k and after 7k the acceleration is good and quick, before i had problems where the engine would just cut out when hot so i changed the ignition coil with original honda one but this problem is still there, i just don't know where the problem could be, the carb has been all cleaned and a bigger jet to match the new exhoust was fitted…
- I'm Missing these few parts in my honda cbr 125 and was wondering where i could find them? Honda Cbr 125r 2008: I can remove the main seat without removing the back seat due to a certain screw missing. I'm not sure what screw it is and i need one soon for when i do my MOT. Also, the screw that holds the rubber bit over the battery is gone, not sure what screw type to get (or even if its a screw haha!). sorry for my noobyness.
- I'm currently working on a Honda crf70f that had some lines cut and now I have to figure out where they came from I'm new to small engines and all that so I have no Idea where this one line goes. It comes from the carb but there's no where for it to go, I have a picture of it.
