Motorcycle Repair: carb setting, cb1100r, kx125


Question
i have a 02 kx 125  i just rebuilt the carb and now when i go to take off the bike boggs out for a second then it takes off im just wondering whaat the float setting are for the carb cause i cant tell wether its getting too much gas or not enough thanks

Answer
Normally the float setting is such that the float is perfectly level when the gas is at the right level.  However this may be slightly different for every type of motorcycle.  The easiest way for you to get this value correct, is to get a workshop manual.  I only knnow the values for a CBX or CB1100R, for which I have workshop manuals.  I do not know the value for a KX125 so YOU need to buy that manual.

Good luck,  Jan
