Hello fellow pakwheelers. I bought a new honda cg 125 about 3 months ago. I have ridden it for about 1200kms now. I'm a newbie and its my first bike so i want to avoid all the mistakes newbies make and destroy the engine life of my bike.
Some vehicle mentainance details:
-Changed oil at 500kms.
-tunning and oil change at 1000kms and also allignment of rims.
I have some questions for my bike.
Q1. What is the idle rpm best suitable for my bike? Right now i have it on 1400rpms but i heard it should work fine on 1000rpms and it shoulnt be no more than 1500 rpms.
Q2. Why doesnt it start on first kick early in the morning? It takes me quite a few kicks to start it. Sometimes i get annoyed and use the choke to start it. I was wondering if thats okay because i heard from a fellow friend that if you start the bike on choke regularly the bike will get used too and wont start without choke. I want to know if its okay to do that? Once the engine is warm i seem to have no problems starting it just first time in the morning.
Q3. I cant get to the 120 kms speed the best i got was 100kms with full throtle in 4th gear.
Q4. I feel the bike is shaking when i go above 90. Maybe its because im a new rider but for safety i wanted to know what should i check. Any lose nuts?
Q5. Which engine oil is the best for my bike? I had atlas honda oil both times i went for oil change and got my bike's tunning done at authorized honda workshop.
Q6. When should i change oil and get my bike tunning? Note: i done use my bike for long journeys quite often so most days i just go to the shops to get groceries. So it might take me a couple of months to ride it for 1000kms. Should i changed oil on time or km basis?
