Where is the oil filter of a 125 motorcycle located?
2 Answers
The oil filter of a 125 motorcycle is located in the middle of the right-side cover of the engine, appearing as a cylindrical object. If the oil filter is not replaced for a long time, the flow performance of the lubricating oil will significantly decrease, restricting the flow of the engine oil pump. Over time, this can lead to excessive wear of internal engine components, so it is essential to replace the oil filter regularly. A 125 motorcycle specifically refers to motorcycles with an engine displacement of around 125CC. Major motorcycle manufacturers have launched various brands of motorcycles with engines based on this displacement. Domestic models include: Suzuki Haojue, Prince motorcycles, Honda, BMW, and Yamaha.
I've been riding a 125cc motorcycle for several years. The oil filter is usually located in the lower area of the engine, with the exact position depending on the brand. Taking the Yamaha or Honda 125 models I've seen as examples, the filter is mostly next to the oil pan and requires removing a protective cover to access it. When I first started doing maintenance, I always found it troublesome to locate, but now that I'm used to it, I check it every time before changing the oil. It's not easy to see directly, so you need to use a small mirror or your phone's flashlight to get a good look. After the engine runs for a long time, the oil accumulates impurities, and the filter plays a key role in filtering them out. Not cleaning it in time may affect the engine's lifespan. I recommend regular maintenance, checking it every 5,000 kilometers to avoid clogging and other issues caused by impurities. Getting a friend to help or referring to a repair manual can make the process easier.
