CATALYTIC CONVERTER
This Vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts. Promoting chemical
reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals.
The catalytic converter acts on HC, CO, and NOx. A replacement unit must be an original
Honda part or its equivalent.
The catalytic converter must operate at a high temperature for the chemical reactions to
take place. It can set on re any combustible materials that come near it. Mark your vehicle
away from high grasses, dry leaves, or other ammables.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to air pollution, and can impair your engine’s
performance. Follow these guidelines to protect your motorcycle’s catalytic converter.
• Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small amount of leaded petrol can contaminate the
catalyst metals, making the catalytic converter ineffective.
• Keep the engine tuned-up.
• Have your vehicle diagnosed and replaced if it is misring, backring stalling or
otherwise not running properly.

VEHICLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Your vehicle can provide many years
of service and pleasure if you take
responsibility for your own safety and
understand the challenges that you can
meet on the road.
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You’ll nd many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Following are few that we consider
most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets signicantly
reduce the number and severity of head
injuries. So always wear an approved
helmet and make sure your pillion rider does
the same. We also recommend that you
wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves,
and other protective apparel (page 4).
Make Yourself Easy to be Visible
Some drivers do not see vehicles because
they are not looking for them. To make
yourself more visible, wear bright reective
clothing, position yourself so other drivers
can see you, signal before turning or
changing lanes, and use your horn when it
will help others notice you.
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of
vehicle accidents. Never ride beyond your
personal abilities or faster than conditions
warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs,
fatigue and inattention can signicantly
reduce your ability to make good
judgements and ride safely.
Keep Your Vehicle in Safe Condition
For safe riding, it’s important to inspect
your vehicle before every ride and perform
all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits, and only use accessories
that have been approved by Honda for this
vehicle. See page 6 for more details.
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.

CB125 Shine SP
!
WARNING
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance
of serious injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your pillion rider always
wear a helmet, eye protection and other
protective apparel when you ride.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Don’t mix Alcohol and riding. Even one
drink can reduce your ability to respond
to changing conditions, and your reaction
time gets worse with every additional drink.
So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your
friends drink and ride either.
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, we strongly recommend
that you always wear an approved helmet,
eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants,
and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever
you ride. Although complete protection is
not possible, wearing proper gear can
reduce the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you
choose proper gear.
Helmets and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece
of riding gear because it offers the best
protection against head injuries. A helmet
should t your head comfortably and securely.
A bright-colored helmet can make you more
noticeable in trafc, as can reective strips.
An open-face helmet offers some protection,
but a full-face helmet offers more. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect
your eyes and help your vision.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection,
we also recommend:
● Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
● Leather gloves to keep your hands warm
and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and
bruises.
● A vehicle riding suit or jacket for comfort
as well as protection. Bright colored and
reective clothing can help make you
more noticeable in trafc. Be sure to
avoid loose clothes that could get caught
on any part of your vehicle.

LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
Your vehicle has been designed to carry
you and one pillion rider. When you carry a
pillion rider, you may feel some difference
during acceleration and braking. But so long
as you keep your vehicle well- maintained,
with good tyres and brakes, you can safely
carry loads within the given limits and
guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit or
carrying an unbalanced load can seriously
affect your vehicle’s handling, braking and
stability. Non-Honda accessories, improper
modications, and poor maintenance can
also reduce your safety margin.
The following pages give more specic
information on loading, accessories and
modications.
Loading
How much weight you put on your vehicle,
and how you load it, are important to your
safety. Anytime you ride with a pillion
rider or cargo you should be aware of the
following information.
!
WARNING
Overloading or improper loading can
cause a crash and you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading
guidelines in this manual.
Load Limits
Following are the load limits for your
vehicle:
Maximum weight capacity:
170 kg (374.7 lbs)
Includes the weight of the rider, pillion
rider, all cargo and all accessories
Loading Guidelines
Your vehicle is primarily intended for
transporting you and a pillion rider. You
may wish to secure a jacket or other small
items to the seat when you are not riding
with a pillion rider. If you wish to carry more
cargo, check with your Honda dealer for
advice, and be sure to read the information
regarding accessories on (page 6).
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.
6
CB125 Shine SP
Improperly loading your vehicle can affect
its stability and handling. Even if your
vehicle is properly loaded, you should ride
at reduced speeds whenever carrying cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you carry
a pillion rider or cargo:
● Check that both tyres are properly inated.
● If you change your normal load, you may
need to adjust the rear suspension
(page 12).
● To prevent loose items from creating a
hazard, make sure that all cargo is
securely tied down before you ride away.
● Place cargo weight as close to the center
of the vehicle as possible.
● Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.
● Do not attach large or heavy items (such
as a sleeping bag or tent) to the
handlebars, forks or fender.
Accessories and Modications
Modifying your vehicle or using
non-Honda accessories can make your
vehicle unsafe. Before you consider making
any modications or adding an accessory,
be sure to read the following information.
!
WARNING
Improper accessories or modications
can cause a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s
manual regarding accessories and
modications.
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only
Honda Genuine Accessories that have been
specically designed and tested for your
vehicle. Because Honda cannot test all
other accessories, you must be personally
responsible for proper selection, installation
and use of non-Honda accessories. Check
with your dealer for assistance and always
follow these guidelines:
● Make sure the accessory does not obscure
any lights, reduce ground clearance and
banking angle, limit suspension travel or
steering travel, alter your riding position
or interfere with operating any controls.
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.

CB125 Shine SP
● Be sure not to use any non-genuine
electrical equipment or equipment having
capacity exceeding vehicle’s electrical
system capacity (page 76). A blown fuse
can cause a loss of lights or engine power.
● Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your
vehicle. This vehicle is not designed for
these attachments, and their use can
seriously impair your vehicle’s handling.
Modication
We strongly advise you not to remove any
original equipment or modify your vehicle
in any way that would change its design
or operation. Such changes could seriously
impair your vehicle’s handling, stability and
braking, making it unsafe to ride.
Removing or modifying your lights,
mufers, emission control system or other
equipment can also make your vehicle
illegal.
ANTI-THEFT TIPS
1. Always lock the steering.
2. Never leave the key in the ignition
switch. This sounds simple but people
do forget.
3. Be sure the registration information for
your vehicle is accurate and current.
4. Put your vehicle in a locked garage
whenever possible.
5. Use an additional anti-theft device of
good quality.
6. Put your name, address, and phone
number in this Owner’s Manual and
keep it on your vehicles at all times.
Many times stolen vehicles are identied
by information in the Owner’s Manuals.

NOTICE
BRAKES
Front Brake (Disc & CBS)
This vehicle has a front hydraulic and rear
mechanical drum brake.
As the brake pads wear, brake uid level
drops.
There are no adjustments to perform, but
uid level and pad wear must be inspected
periodically. The system must be inspected
frequently to ensure there are no uid leaks.
If the control lever free travel becomes
excessive and the brake pads are not worn
beyond the recommended limit (page 62),
there is probably air in the brake system
and it must be bleed. See your Honda
dealer for this service.
Front Brake Fluid Level:
With the vehicle in an upright position,
check the uid level. It should be above the
lower level mark (1). If the level is at or

TYRES
To safely operate your vehicle, your tyres
must be the proper type and size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and correctly
inated for the load you are carrying.
The following pages give more detailed
information on how and when to check your
air pressure, how to inspect your tyres for
damage, and what to do when your tyres
need to be repaired or replaced.
NOTICE
Using tyres that are excessively worn or
improperly inated can cause an
accident in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s
manual regarding tyre ination and
maintenance.
WARNING
!
3. After 2-3 minutes, remove the oil ller
cap/dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert
the oil ller cap/dipstick without
screwing it in. Remove the oil ller
cap/ dipstick. The oil level should be
between the upper and lower marks on
the oil ller cap/dipstick.
4. If required, add the specied oil (see
page 44) up to the upper level mark.
Do not overll.
5. Reinstall the oil ller cap/dipstick.
Check for oil leaks.
Air Pressure
Keeping your tyres properly inated
provides the best combination of handling,
tread life and riding comfort. Generally,
under inated tyres wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling, and are more
likely to fail from being overheated.
Over inated tyres make your vehicle ride
more harsh, are more prone to damage
from road hazards, and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check your
tyres before every ride and use a gauge to
measure air pressure at least once a month
or any time you think the tyres might be
low.
