Sold The CG Dream The Experience With CG Dream Did Not Go Well
CG Dream As An Bike Is Definitely More Pleasurable In Riding
But This Thread Is About The Reliability Of Engine I Have Now Used
All Atlas Honda Engines I Bought CG Dream To Check The 4 Gear CG
Engine Could Not Made My Mind For CG Classic Instead Decided To Go
For Its New Shape CG Dream Which Is Having Exactly Same Engine As CG Classic
I Have Doubts On CG Engine As This Is The Engine That I See Mostly Opened
At Mechanics And Most Most Of Them Very New Engines Some Brand New
I Bought The Used Bike 1800km Driven Bike Was In Very Good Condition So
The Engine I Drove It Around 14,500km And Now I Was Noticing Loss Of Smoothness
In Engine It Was Producing Extra Vibrations And Extra Tappet Noise And At Speeds
Above 60km/h It Was Not Smooth Bike Felt Heavy Though It Was Achieving Same Top
Speeds So Bike Was Giving Signs Of Lost Performance & Smoothness
I Took Care Of Bike Very Well Changed Oil At 1000km (Owner's Manual Say 2000km) And Was
Regularly Tuned From Honda Antenna Mechanic Every 2000km And Centrifugal Oil Filter Was
Cleaned At 10,000km Other Issues That I Hated Was Oil Leakage From Tachometer Cable From
Beginning Replaced The Oil Seal 3 Times But Leakage Was Their And Also Oil Seepage From Tappet
Cover Never Gone Stains Always Appear Replaced Tappet Cover Seal 2 Times No Gain
People Are Crazy About CG125 As For As Its Performance Is Concerned It Does Generates
Impressive Power Which Gives Very Good Acceleration & Top Speeds Its Even Faster Than
5 Gear OHV Deluxe Top 100-110km/h Is Achievable Only Struggles When There Is Opposite
Wind. Smoothness It Lacks After The Changes It Is Smoother Than Previous 2011 Models
Negligible Knocking Less Vibrations But Still Gear Shifting Process Is Not Smooth In 1st & 2nd
Gear You Will Listen Kir Kir Noise And Other Cons As i Said Above And I Call It Dirty Engine
You Will Find Oil Leakages & Stains All Over Engine From Tappet Cover & Tachometer Cable
Also Engine Breather Pipe. Talking About Reliability As I Have Mentioned Above This Is The Engine
That I Have Seen Mostly Opened At Mechanics And Most Most Of Them Are Very New So I Had
Doubts On Its Reliability Bought The Bike Took Very Well Care Of It But Still It Started To Loose
Its Performance And Asking For Work It Covered 14,500km Which Is Not Sufficient Its Even Less
Than Claimed Atlas Honda Warranty Period Which Is 3 Years Or 20,000km And Those Bikes I
Have Seen At Mechanics Were Very Less Driven You Would Not Believe Almost 10 CG's I Have
Seen At Honda Antenna Mechanic With Odo Less Than 100km And Many With Mileage Below 1k & 5k
If We See History Of This OHV Engine It Was Built By Honda To Face The Tough Use Well May Be That
CG125 Was Tough But The CG125 Today We Are Getting From Atlas Honda Atleast In My View Is Not
Tough Bike This Bike Needs Care And Soft Hand Else You Will Be Soon At Mechanic's Shop
I Think I Should Mention Here As Some One Might Ask, As There Was Sudden Effect On Performance Of
Bike I Got The Bike Tuned From Honda Antenna Mechanic Two Times And Tried Another Mechanics As
Well All The Nuts And Bolts Were Firmly Tight But There Was No Improvement Extra Vibration Extra Tappet
Noise Felt In Engine And Same Bike Felt Heavy These Seemed Signs Of Worn Out Clutch Plates And Also
Worn Out Push Rods May Be
In The End So This Was My Experience With CG125 Engine Many May Not Agree With It And May Be There
CG's Proved Reliable But I Had This Feeling Against CG Engine I Bought Used It With Care But It Disappointed
Me So My Doubt Proved Right And In My Eyes Looking At My Personal Experience & Amount Of CG's
I Have Spotted At Mechanics In My View Its Not Reliable Or Durable Engine
