Go onto youtube and look at the videos of people doing the job first.
It's a great way to learn and you'll have seen it done before you even try.

I suspect any Honda 125 will be similar but perhaps if you need to move a panel have a search for the Silverwing videos.

will have a go , been looking at drive belts as its never been replaced according to the service history , should i get genuine honda belt? or a malossi branded belt which is a few quid dearer?? what you think?

honda without a second thought

mallossi is shite

Ok thanks, rode it to work this morning and everything was fine...bizarre

Yes, always get the best belt. Remember when it's raining, dark and you need to be somewhere that extra £10 will seem cheap..

ETA: Strange - I'd still be having a good look under the cover!

Any oil in it? have you ever checked it.

Yes , There is oil , check that weekly , however...i dont know if its had a new spark plug or filter change , does that happen when it gets serviced for a MOT?

Thanks for the replies

Oh someone did say to me today that if its low on fuel and water got in the tank , that may be the cause , when i left work today , the same thing happened but without the screech and i was at 45 mph full throttle , just filled her up with fuel , and will take a half hour trip out , will let you know if it happens again.

ok these questions lead to say your scoot needs some loving if you got a blocked air filter , air wont be able to get to the engine causing loss of power, so first port of call is to change the filter about £12 HERE http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-FES125- ... 4172b3019a" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; easy job to get you into do it yourself.. then see how she goes.. then probably spark plug and oil change time

Thanks , I shall try the spark plug and air filter first as thats the cheaper option...I had a oil change last month..
