2014 Honda CRF125F Overview
Honda CRF125F is a cross / motocross motorcycle, displacing 124.90 cc. Power comes from a Single cylinder, four-stroke engine running SOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 9.0:1. Bore and stroke come in at 52.4 x 57.9 mm. On the performance side, it delivers 14.10 Nm @ 11000 of torque. On the road, the 2014 CRF125F tips the scales at 88 kg, carries a 4.30-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 785 mm and spans a 1,255 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 21.6 kg lighter than the average cross / motocross motorcycle in our database. The full 2014 Honda CRF125F spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2014 CRF125F - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🛑
Strong front braking: Stopping power up front is strong thanks to the single disc setup, with plenty of room to upgrade further with braided lines.
Considerations
-
🔧
Carburetor fuelling: Expect to spend more time keeping the carbs in tune, especially after long storage periods or a change in altitude.
-
🛑
Drum rear brake: Rear braking comes from a drum, not a disc - it does the job but won't match the feel or fade resistance of newer equivalents.
-
⛽
Modest fuel capacity: Range between stops is limited by the 4.30-litre tank - plan fuel stops accordingly on longer routes.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Carburetor maintenance
Carburetors on the CRF125F need periodic attention - pilot jets and float needles are the first parts to gum up after the bike sits, and the first thing to check if idle or throttle response degrades.
Valve clearance checks
With SOHC valve gear, the CRF125F needs periodic clearance checks; caught early they're a cheap adjustment, left unchecked they accelerate valve seat wear.
Brake disc and pad wear
Braking up front comes from single disc with hydraulic - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.
Suspension condition on used examples
The CRF125F's suspension runs 31mm telescopic fork at the front. The rear uses Pro-Link single-shock. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.
Final drive maintenance
The CRF125F uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.
Low-speed handling
88 kg keeps the CRF125F easy to move around in tight spaces, car parks and on the stand alike.
CRF125F - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2014 Honda CRF125F with its 124.90 cc cross / motocross, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, drivetrain wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 12 years old, this cross / motocross is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy CRF125F should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.
Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects the CRF125F's 124.90 cc single cylinder, four-stroke like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). With a 9.0:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
Carburetor upkeep
Deposits in the carbs are the usual culprit behind poor running on a stored CRF125F - strip and clean the float bowls before the first start. Pilot jets clog first and get overlooked most, so make a point of checking them.
Valve clearance service
Valve clearances are easy to overlook on a used CRF125F since a bike out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but the wear it causes is real. Ask the seller for documentation before assuming it's been done.
