Market and trim notes

This sheet covers the Honda CT125 Hunter Cub as listed in the Indonesian distributor’s current catalogue. Market-specific equipment can differ from the same nameplate in another country, so the figures are not interchangeable.

Full specification

Every row below is a published figure. Rows the manufacturer does not publish are marked rather than estimated.

What the numbers mean

The 800 mm seat is a middle-of-the-road height: most riders will get the balls of both feet down.

At 116 kg it is manageable at walking pace but heavy enough to notice on a slope.

The 5.1 L tank is typical for the class and enough for a week of commuting between fills. The manufacturer does not publish a consumption figure, so this page does not quote a range.

Tyres are 80/90-17 M/C 44P front and 80/90-17M/C 50P rear. Check that your local shop stocks both before a long trip.

Ownership and maintenance notes

• Clean and lubricate the chain at short intervals in rain or dust, and check slack with the bike on its side stand. A loose chain wears sprockets quickly; a tight one loads the output bearing.
• Check tyre pressures cold. On a light bike a few psi matters more than it does on a car, and it changes both steering and tyre life.
• Air-cooled engines rely on clean fins and a clear path for air. Wash the fins gently, and do not let mud or a loose cover block them in traffic.
• After water crossings or dusty tracks, check the air filter and chain first. Dirt reaches both before it reaches the oil.
• Inspect the brake pads after muddy rides; grit embedded in a pad wears a disc faster than normal road use.
• The high-mounted exhaust and 17-inch wheels are there for rough surfaces. Check the air filter and chain more often after water crossings or dusty tracks.
