This 2010 Honda CBF 125 was brought in to us for its annual MOT.

The bike failed its mot on various lighting faults.

On inspection all the lights were working but very dimly thus not illuminating the road. We also noticed the bike struggled to start indicating an under charged battery. With this in mind we then checked the charging rate and found the voltage output to be very low.

Further investigation found the generator/stator to be burnt out, a new one was sourced and fitted which cured both the charging fault and inturn the dimness of the lights.
