Honda NH125 impulse buy


I'm new here

Recommended Posts

As tilted, I impulsively bought a 1980s Honda Lead 125cc 2 stroke (NH125)

The plan: Wanting to get road legal and running nice for the warmer days, respray but keep it looking 80s

The speed bumps: I have yet to find a VIN or frame number on the bike yet and I have stripped down the cosmetic panels. And I am learning about 2 strokes as I go, someone has retired the oil reservoir and oil supply pump and is using premix. Seeing as how parts aren't the easiest to find for these I may tidy what they have done and keep going. 

If anyone has knowledge on these like what ratio of fuel mix would be good? I've only found American forums and they run either a 32:1 or 40:1 mix.

Here's the links to the free service and owners manuals I have found. 

Also have a parts catalog from Honda but I don't know how to link.

1984 Aero Service manual http://hondaspree.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17085

1985 Lead Owners manual https//ownersmanuals2.com/honda/nh125-1985-owners-manual-72040

English is every 2-3 pages just takes a little more scrolling.

Update: Blue Wing Honda don't have any info as they are not the importer, so here's hoping the private importer registered it back in the day.

Update 2: Vinz have no information either, looks like I'm currently floating up shit creek in regards to getting re-registration

After messaging 3 previous owners of the bike someone knew the old rego, which on carjam matches the engine number and model details that I have. 

This has been one hell of a rollercoaster, went from knowing nothing to having a rego, maybe Facebook is useful for something afterall
