Shop parts for a 2014 Honda CRF125F Dirt Bike.
The 2014 Honda CRF125F debuted as a new model in Honda’s recreational trail bike lineup, filling the gap between the smaller CRF110F and the more capable CRF150F. The 125cc air-cooled four-stroke single with a five-speed manual transmission gave beginner and intermediate riders a familiar, approachable machine with a bit more power and a more engaging riding experience. Torque specifications for the inaugural 2014 CRF125F are detailed below.
Engine Fasteners
The 125cc air-cooled four-stroke in the CRF125F features a manual five-speed gearbox—a significant step up from the CRF110F’s automatic system. This introduces a proper clutch mechanism with a hub nut torque requirement. The oil drain plug, valve cover, and cylinder head bolts follow the established four-stroke service torque pattern for this displacement class.
| Fastener | Torque (ft-lb) | Torque (Nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Spark plug | 11–14 | 15–19 |
| Cylinder head bolts | 16–18 | 22–25 |
| Valve cover bolts | 7–9 | 10–12 |
| Oil drain plug | 18–22 | 25–30 |
| Flywheel nut | 36–43 | 49–59 |
| Clutch hub nut | 29–36 | 39–49 |
Suspension & Chassis
The CRF125F uses a conventional telescopic fork and single rear shock suited to recreational trail riding. Fork clamp bolt torque and swingarm pivot torque are the key suspension fasteners in service. The swingarm pivot should be torqued correctly to allow the arm to move freely through full suspension travel without any preloaded binding.
| Fastener | Torque (ft-lb) | Torque (Nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Fork clamp bolts | 9–11 | 12–15 |
| Handlebar clamp bolts | 11–14 | 15–19 |
| Swingarm pivot nut | 36–43 | 49–59 |
| Rear shock mount bolts | 22–29 | 30–39 |
Wheels & Drive
| Fastener | Torque (ft-lb) | Torque (Nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Front axle nut | 22–29 | 30–39 |
| Rear axle nut | 47–54 | 64–74 |
| Rear sprocket nuts | 18–22 | 25–30 |
| Chain adjuster lock nuts | 9–11 | 12–15 |
Brakes
The CRF125F uses drum brakes front and rear, consistent with its beginner/intermediate trail riding purpose. Correct torque on the brake plate fasteners ensures the drum system operates predictably and safely.
| Fastener | Torque (ft-lb) | Torque (Nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Front brake plate bolt | 9–11 | 12–15 |
| Rear brake plate bolt | 9–11 | 12–15 |
The 2014 CRF125F is an approachable and well-designed trail bike for riders ready to step up from the automatic CRF110F. Maintaining correct torque values throughout the service life of this four-stroke keeps it performing reliably for years of trail riding.
