Yeah, that's what it says in the catalog. But if you search ebay for "ch125 belt" all the listings say dimensions 799x19x28, same as ch150. I know there's more than one model of ch125, there's ch125 A, ch125 AC.
Honda says different and I would believe Honda before anyone else. FYI the KJ9 is the code for the CH125. KG8 is the code for the Aero 125. The CH150 belt fits all 4 CH150 models.

Oh so now the idiots on flea-bay know better than Honda.................WRONG!

The Ch125 was a one year wonder, just like the Aero 125, 1984 only and only one model of both in the US.

It doesn't really matter to me, since I all ready have a brand new nh125 belt. Just trying to give others some hints on similar belt sizes. It was just something a came across while searching for belts after 2 companies said nh125 belts were discontinued. That doesn't mean some cycle shop or dealer might have a belt sitting in their inventory somewhere out there.

I bought another honda aero 125 yesterday for $45! :geekdance:

I've been wanting a spare engine and this seemed like a awesome deal. I haven't taken my own pics yet, but here's the pics from Craigslist. The Ad is still up: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/mcy/3092919816.html

I still need to take off the parts from the aero that I'm keeping, then I'll try to sell the rest. The last tags were 89, so it's not in great condition.

I did compression test the engine and it has a little more than my current engine on the spree.

Well the speedo is somewhat accurate but who knows how fast I'm going after the needle disappears past the Honda sticker. I've probably gone 60-65 MPH down a steep hill, 50-55 on a flat run. I need to borrow a gps to confirm anything and finally get around to testing my higher MPH gauge face someday.

I've road the aero 125 very little, maybe only 25 MPH up my neighborhood with no brakes, so I can't really compare.

Yeah I still have the aero tank, not planning to use it myself. I did pull the cap off today and it looks rusty inside.
