2014 Honda CRF125FB Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2014 Honda CRF125FB Dirt Bike.
The 2014 Honda CRF125FB debuted alongside the standard CRF125F as Honda’s Big Wheel variant, designed for taller or larger beginning riders who needed the standard-frame CRF125F in a taller configuration with larger wheels. The CRF125FB runs the same air-cooled 125cc four-stroke engine with five-speed manual gearbox but adds 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels for improved ergonomics and handling for bigger riders. Torque specifications are shared with the standard CRF125F on the engine but differ on the wheel hardware due to the larger wheel sizing.
Engine Fasteners
The CRF125FB’s engine is identical to the standard CRF125F—same displacement, same gearbox, same service intervals. All engine torque values apply equally to both variants. The oil drain plug, cylinder head bolts, and clutch hub nut specs are unchanged between the two.
| 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 CRF125FB’s taller fork setup accommodates the larger wheel and provides better ground clearance for bigger riders navigating the same trail terrain. Fork clamp torque values are the same as the standard model; the longer tubes are simply positioned higher in the clamps.
| 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 |
Big Wheel Axle & Drive
The larger wheel sizing on the CRF125FB means slightly different axle nut torque values compared to the standard model. The bigger hubs and axle dimensions account for the change. Always verify the chain adjuster lock nuts are equal side-to-side before torquing the rear axle on the big wheel variant.
| Fastener | Torque (ft-lb) | Torque (Nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Front axle nut | 29–36 | 39–49 |
| Rear axle nut | 54–65 | 74–88 |
| Rear sprocket nuts | 18–22 | 25–30 |
| Chain adjuster lock nuts | 9–11 | 12–15 |
Brakes
| Fastener | Torque (ft-lb) | Torque (Nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Front brake plate bolt | 9–11 | 12–15 |
| Rear brake plate bolt | 9–11 | 12–15 |
The 2014 CRF125FB is the right tool for taller beginners. Correct torque throughout—with special attention to the big wheel axle hardware—keeps the bike safe and predictable for riders who are still developing their trail skills.
