MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO
PARENTS
Your child’s safety is very important to
Honda. That’s why we urge you to read this
message before you let any young person
ride this motorcycle. Off-road riding can be
fun. But as with riding a bicycle, bad
judgements can result in injuries, and we
don’t want that to happen ! As a parent, you
can help prevent crashes by making good
decisions about if, when, and how your
youngster rides this motorcycle.
Riding Readiness
The first decision you’ll need to make is
whether your youngster is ready to ride.
Riding readiness varies widely from one
person to another, and age and size are not
the only factors.
PHYSICAL ABILITY is an important
consideration. For example, riders must be
big enough to hold the motorcycle up, get
on, and comfortably sit on the seat with
both feet touching the ground. They should
also be able to easily reach and work the
brakes, the throttle and all other controls.
ATHLETIC ABILITY is necessary for riding
a motorcycle. Generally speaking, your
youngster should be good at riding a
bicycle before getting on a motorcycle. Can
your youngster judge speeds and distances
on a bicycle and react with proper hand and
foot actions ? Anyone who does not have
good coordination,balance, and agility is not
ready to ride this motorcycle.
MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL MATURITY
are requirements for safe riding. Does your
youngster think through problems and
come to logical solutions ? On a bicycle,
does your youngster obey safe riding rules ?
Be honest ! Young people who take
unnecessary risks, make bad judgements
and don’t obey rules are not ready to ride
this motorcycle.

Instruction and Super vision
If you decide that your youngster is ready to
safely operate this motorcycle, make sure
both of you carefully read and understand
the Owner’s Manual before riding. Also be
sure that your youngster has a helmet and
other appropriate riding equipment and
always wears it when operating the vehicle
or sitting on it. And, it is important for your
youngster to finish the training course.
GOOD INSTRUCTION is an important part
of hands-on training. The teacher can either
be you or another responsible adult who
has experience with off-road motorcycle
riding. (For help in finding a qualified
instructor, talk with your dealer.) Even if
you’re not the main teacher, it’s up to you to
ensure your youngster’s safety. Remember,
learning to ride a motorcycle is a gradual
step-by-step process. It takes time, patience
and practice – many hours over a period of
weeks or months.
2
SUPERVISION is another important
obligation of parents. Even after youngsters
have become skilled off-road riders, they
should always ride with adult supervision. It
helps to regularly remind young riders of
basic safety rules and cautions. And
remember, it’s your responsibility to see
that the vehicle is properly maintained and
kept in safe operating condition.
SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE RIDING must
be an ongoing commitment – by you and
your youngster. When you both put safety
first, you can enjoy more peace of mind, and
your youngster can enjoy more hours of
safe off-road riding.
For your convenience, this CRF125F/FB
comes with an ignition switch and key.
Remove the key when the motorcycle is
parked to help prevent unauthorized use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your motorcycle can provide many years of
service and pleasure – if you take
responsibility for your own safety and
understand the challenges you can meet
while riding.
This motorcycle has been designed for
younger riders, as well as for smaller adults.
However, not all youngsters are physically
or emotionally ready to ride. Therefore,
before parents allow any youngster to ride
this motorcycle, we urge them to carefully
read the Important Message to Parents on
page 1.
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You’ll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Following are a few that we
consider to be most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly
reduce the number and severity of head
injuries. So always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet. We also recommend
that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots,
gloves and other protective gear (page 6).
Never Carr y a Passenger
Your motorcycle is designed for one person
only. There are no handholds, footrests, or
seat for a second person – so never carr y a
passenger. A passenger could interfere with
your ability to move around to maintain
your balance and control of the motorcycle.
3
32K28B00.book 4 ページ ２０１３年５月３１日 金曜日 午前１１時２１分
Ride Off-Road Only
Your motorcycle is designed and
manufactured for off-road use only. The
tyres are not made for pavement, and the
motorcycle does not have turn signals and
other features required for use on public
roads. If you need to cross a paved or public
road, get off and walk your motorcycle
across.
4
Take Time to Learn and Practice
Developing appropriate off-road riding
skills is important to your safety and is a
gradual, step-by-step process. You can start
by practicing at low speeds in a safe area
and slowly build your skills. Getting
personal instruction from an experienced
rider or a qualified riding instructor can also
be very valuable. If you need assistance in
locating a training course closest to you,
contact your dealer or the member
organization of the International
Motorcycle Federation (FIM) in your
country. Contact information can be found
at: www.fim-live.com under ‘‘affiliated
federations.’’
32K28B00.book 5 ページ ２０１３年５月３１日 金曜日 午前１１時２１分
Be Alert for Off-Road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of
challenges when you ride off-road.
Continually ‘‘read’’ the terrain for
unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts,
and other hazards. Always keep your speed
low enough to allow time to see and react to
hazards.
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of
motorcycle crashes. Never ride beyond
your personal abilities or faster than
conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol,
drugs, fatigue and inattention can
significantly reduce your ability to make
good judgements and ride safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. 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.
Keep Your Bike in Safe Condition
For safe riding, it’s important to inspect
your motorcycle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance.
Never exceed load limits, and only use
accessories that have been approved by
Honda for this motorcycle. See page 8 for
more details.
Others
• This motorcycle is not equipped with
lights. Don’t ride at night.

32K28B00.book 6 ページ ２０１３年５月３１日 金曜日 午前１１時２１分
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, we strongly recommend
that you always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots,
gloves, trousers, and a long-sleeved jersey,
shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Although
complete protection is not possible, wearing
proper gear can reduce the chance of injur y
when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you
choose proper gear.
Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a
crash.
Be sure you always wear a helmet, eye
protection and other protective apparel
when you ride.
6
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 fit your head comfortably and have a
chin strap that can be tightened securely.
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 of f-road motorcycle boots to help
protect your feet, ankles, and lower legs.
• Off-road motorcycle gloves to help
protect your hands.
• Riding trousers with knee and hip pads, a
riding jersey with padded elbows, and a
chest/shoulder protector.

footpegs.

32K28B00.book 8 ページ ２０１３年５月３１日 金曜日 午前１１時２１分
LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
Your Honda was designed as a rider-only
motorcycle. It was not designed to carry a
passenger or cargo. A passenger or cargo
could interfere with your ability to move
around to maintain your balance and control
of the motorcycle.
In addition, exceeding the weight limits or
carr ying an unbalanced load can seriously
affect your motorcycle’s handling, braking,
and stability. Adding accessories or making
modifications that change this motorcycle’s
design and performance can also make it
unsafe. Also, the weight of any accessories
will reduce the maximum load the
motorcycle can carr y.
The following pages give more specific
information on loading, accessories and
modifications.
8
Loading
How much weight you put on your
motorcycle, and how you load it, are
important to your safety. If you decide to
carr y cargo, you should be aware of the
following information.
Overloading or carrying a passenger
can cause a crash and you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading
guidelines in this manual.
32K28B00.book 9 ページ ２０１３年５月３１日 金曜日 午前１１時２１分
Load Limits
Following are the load limits for your
motorcycle:
Maximum weight capacity:
CRF125F:
CRF125FB:
80 kg (176 lb)
88 kg (194 lb)
Includes the weight of the rider and any
accessories
The weight of added accessories will reduce
the maximum cargo weight you can carry.
Loading Guidelines
As discussed on page 8, we recommend that
you do not carry any cargo on this
motorcycle. However, if you decide to carry
cargo, ride at reduced speeds and follow
these common-sense guidelines:
• Keep cargo small and light. Make sure it
cannot easily be caught on brush or other
objects, and that it does not interfere with
your ability to shift position to maintain
balance and stability.
• Place weight as close to the centre of the
motorcycle as possible.
• Do not attach large or heavy items (such
as a sleeping bag or tent) to the
handlebar, fork, or front fender.
• Make sure that all cargo is tied down
securely.
• Never exceed the maximum weight limit.
• Check that both tyres are properly
inflated (page 32).

Accessories and Modifications
Modifying your motorcycle or using nonHonda accessories can make your
motorcycle unsafe. Before you consider
making any modifications or adding an
accessory, be sure to read the following
information.
Improper accessories or modifications
can cause a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s
manual regarding accessories and
modifications.
10
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only
Honda Genuine Accessories that have been
specifically designed and tested for your
motorcycle. 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 accessor y does not reduce
ground clearance and lean angle, limit
suspension travel or steering travel, alter
your riding position or interfere with
operating any controls.
• Be sure electrical equipment does not
exceed the motorcycle's electrical system
capacity (page 107).
32K28B00.book 11 ページ ２０１３年５月３１日 金曜日 午前１１時２１分
Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any
original equipment or modify your
motorcycle in any way that would change its
design or operation. Such changes could
seriously impair your motorcycle’s
handling, stability and braking, making it
unsafe to ride.
Because safety, vehicle movement, and
clearance must be taken into consideration,
you must consult your tyre maker or Honda
dealer before changing your tyre model
type.
Removing or modifying your exhaust
system (such as the spark arresters or
mufflers) or other equipment can also make
your motorcycle illegal.
