As a first time rider, spend some time reading through the forums. You'll find lots of answers to your questions without even having to ask them. :)

1. change oil every 10-15 hours, spark plug when it needs it, and air filter doesnt need replaced. just cleaned and oiled.

2. that stuff only needs replaced when it needs it, or when they look too thrashed and you want to make it look better.

3. use mobil 1 full synthetic 30wt. use champion chain lube for your chain/sprockets.

Get a service manual. It will have all your answers in black and white.

What model Honda did you get? Just curious. If it is a 4 stroke 125cc, it must be pretty old? XL125?

yea get a service manual it wil tell you all you want to know. and probably somethings you didnt want to know.

I havent gotten the manual yet from the guy, my friend told me it was an XR i think he said, its a 2003

Look on the frame for a sticker that shows the model year, model and manuf date. There is no such thing as a 2003 XR125. There is a CR125R two stroke. The XR's are 50, 70, 80, 100, 200, 400, 650 in 2003. After that they went to CRF-F bikes and they were 50, 70, 80, 100, 150, 230, and 650. How about posting a pic.

It is a 100cc bike but there is supposedly some kit(i forget what he called it, had "fat" in the name) that he said pumps it up to 125, bikes at my girls where i had to walk it, when i get it working ill post pics.
