1 Introduction
1 The first six Chapters of this Manual describe the Japanese-
built
models imported into the UK from June
to
April
This Chapter describes the models imported from
that date, which have all been built in Honda's subsidiary
factory in Brazil; they are therefore known commonly as the
Brazilian-built CG125 or CG125 (BR).
2 With the exception of the information on the (T)PFC
carburettor, which was also fitted to the Japanese-built CG
C and E models, all information in this Chapter relates specifi-
cally to the Brazilian-built models. Information is given only
where different from that given for the Japanese-built
E model described in Chapters 1 to 6.
3 If working on one of the Brazilian models, first check the
relevant part of this Chapter. If no information is given it can be
assumed that the procedure or specification is unchanged from
that given in the relevant part of Chapters 1 to 6.
4 As with their Japanese predecessors, the Brazilian models
have appeared in a number of slightly different versions. Each
can be identified as follows:
5 The first model was imported from April
to April
and is referred to as the
(BR) - E or F;
suffix
letter may be used.
frame numbers began with
-
and its engine
with
25BRE - 8100001.
Models are finished in red or black.
6 The second model was imported from April 1988 to
September
and is known as the CG125(BR)-J. Its frame
numbers run from
to 8115880 (engine
numbers are not available). Finished in red, blue or white, it can
be easily identified by its plastic front mudguard, as opposed to
the chrome-plated steel item fitted to all earlier models.
7 The third and current version is the CG125(BR)-K. Its frame
number starts at
and its engine number at
Colours available are red or blue. Apart from
minor modifications to its cycle parts, the UK market version can
be distinguished from its predecessor by its tail fairing and the
large CG graphic on the fuel tank.
8 The Brazilian models differ from their Japanese predecessors
chiefly in the appearance of their cycle parts and bodywork, the
engine unit being largely identical. A 12 volt electrical system
is fitted, the speedometer and warning lamp cluster are mounted
in a single panel, a larger front brake is fitted inside a conical-
shaped hub and the tank, seat, rear mudguard and side panels
have been redesigned to give an updated appearance. Amongst
other detail differences the pillion passenger footrest mountings
are modified, the rear chain enclosure halves are secured by five
bolts instead of four on BR-E/F and BR-J models (reverted to four
bolts on BR-K model), a grab rail is fitted as standard, new
handlebar switches are fitted and many minor components
received detail alterations in the change from Japanese to
Brazilian manufacturers.
