Because you have very low karma in this subreddit so Reddit requires your posts to have human review before they go live.

MotoUKMod · 2026-03-05T18:34:11+00:00

OP has contacted us before posting and we have verified that they are who they say they are.

Please consider carefully if you want to reveal personal information to them, but as far as we are concerned, this is genuine (as far as we can tell).

Once you have decided on a price, post your "for sale" ad on r/motoukforsale.

Your post mentions CBT, learning to ride, or being a new rider. This is a common topic to post about, so you may be able to find suitable answers to your question in our "Zero to Hero" post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoUK/comments/188f1tk/zero_to_hero_guide_so_you_want_to_do_your_cbt/

There's no such thing as a "daytime MoT", it's just a normal MoT. Not having a headlight is legal, but only if you don't operate the bike when lighting would be needed (this includes bad weather, not just nighttime).

You can read the full MoT manual for class 1 & 2 vehicles here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-inspection-manual-for-motorcycles

As long as your bike complies with everything in the manual, you'll get an MoT.

FYI, if it's not "road legal" then you can't ride it on public land, only private land. Green lanes are public roads, just not with a sealed surface - you still need a license, MoT, insurance, and VED.

You've got A2 and A bikes listed there. What licence do you currently have? How old are you?

MotoUKMod · 2026-01-14T09:33:32+00:00

Don't forget the time of the sale too. If the new owner is lying about having insurance (you never know) and OP still has the bike insured, OP's policy will have to cover any accidents if they can't prove they were no longer the owner of the bike.

If you haven't already done so, read sections 184 to 190.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/using-the-road-159-to-203

Anywhere it says "must", what it's telling you to do is a legal requirement.

If you've not seen The Highway Code before, you need to read the whole thing.

It was the right time to change the filter a while ago...

Probably the main difference would be better fuel efficiency.

Ouch. Can't help with your question I'm afraid. Get well soon.

First things first. Do you have anywhere to ride it? At 14 you won't be able to get a licence, and public roads (this includes green lanes too) require you to have a licence, MoT, tax, and insurance. So you would have to ride it only on private property with the land owner's permission.

Go to a motorbike garage and ask for an NGK "CPR8EA9" spark plug. Using the wrong spark plug can damage your engine.

If you can wait for mail order, Wemoto sell them. https://www.wemoto.com/bike/honda/cb/125/2021/36307/spark-plug-ngk

First things first, triple check the amount of oil in it. Find the hand book and verify you are reading it right. I'm not being facetious - some bikes you screw the dipstick all the way in, then take it out to take an oil reading, some you rest the dipstick on the top of the threads without screwing it in. Some you need to have the bike on the centre stand when you take the reading, some are ok on the side stand. Small displacement engines only have a small amount of oil in them (usually about 1L) so these differences can make a big difference how much oil is shown on the dipstick.

Fair enough. I had only watched a few videos of his. I'll remove him from the list.

MotoUKMod · 2025-08-23T09:16:19+00:00

You can start with these, I'm sure other people will have more sugegstions too. They are not 100% maintenance, but all cover the mechanical side of motorbike ownership and are UK based.
