I'm new here Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited June 20, 2021 by I'm new here Spelling 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm new here Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 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.

I'm new here Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 did you find the frame number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm new here Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 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 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
