Ok so the front brake on my new 1974 honda cb 125 is a disk brake setup but it doesnt seem to be hydraulic its just a cable. I opened the brake up and it was all dry and crusty because the bike was siting for a while. What goes in there? Do i just clean everything and grease it up? It has a gasket so I would imagine something liquid has to be in there?
thanks
bump?
I'm no expert, but I'm betting you will get better answers if you ask on a CB125 forum...no?
Or, maybe(and I know this is a stretch for cheap ass moped people) buy the manual??? Short of that, search online for said manual. It's available in a PDF all over the place.

and i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure all disk brakes are hydraulic, the fluid is what makes them actually work.

I had a cb200 with that same setup. Hated it cause it was broken. I know a guy on DTT will help you. Its a rad site.
ok thanks a lot for all the info guys
Dominique, the CB125 and some other smaller Honda bikes had mechanical disc brakes, no hydraulics at all.
also thank you for the pics man! i looked on DTT and couldnt find anything this good, just complaining about the setup and converting it to something else nothing about fixing it up.
yeah dumb, didn't think that one out. now that i think about i don't remember ever seeing the little fluid reservoir on my friend's 125 that had a disc brake. mine is from 1980 and has drum brakes.
