Hey there, I recently fixed an issue with my 2017 Honda 125. When the engine got hot and I shifted from 1st to 2nd or from 2nd to 3rd, there was a sound when I started releasing the clutch. When the clutch was fully released, the bike performed well, but before that, it took a lot of power, making it difficult in traffic and make noise like chain slipping. I encountered this issue with almost every 125 model I’ve dealt with. I consulted an experienced mechanic, and he mentioned that the problem could be due to the clutch plates and pressure plates. When I took the bike in for repairs, the mechanic discovered additional issues inside the engine, including problems with the piston rings because the bike was burning oil. There were also some issues with the bearings and some wear on the clutch plates. Additionally, the mechanic identified problems with the connecting rods.
I’ve had all these issues addressed, and the total cost came to around 12,500. Now bike is running good.
