2007 cbr 125 won't start unless jumped and only runs for a few seconds

I think the simple concept would be take the battery to CT as suggested almost 2 weeks ago.
Load test it.
If pooched then buy a new one.
Owners manual or any bike shop could tell you what one matches OEM.
 
OP nothing to add on the battery thing; it's been covered since page one.

Just checking; have you sorted out the insurance for this bike. Sometimes a new rider leaves that part until last and assumes that getting insurance won't be a big deal...

Only down side to CT is 1) the guy behind the counter has no clue,
and 2) they have a limited range of suitable motorcycle batteries to sell you, all of which will need to be ordered from the main depot.

Yep, that sounds about right. The replacement I bought for my MV Agusta has already outlasted the original battery and the price was reasonable.

No surprise your old one is done, they don't last long and from experience you now know you need a good one in there to make it work.
For you it is shipping costs and for me it is an hour or more drive each way to civilization, either costs time and money.
 
If there is so much uncertainty about what battery you need, then the proper course of action is to take the bike to a Honda motorcycle dealer (NOT Amazon, NOT Canadian Tire!) and tell them to fix it. Or even just buy a battery from the closest Honda motorcycle dealer. (NOT Amazon, NOT Canadian Tire). The Honda motorcycle dealer WILL get you the correct battery for that bike. It will already have the acid charge in it and it will already be charged up ready to go.
 
Put a new battery in it today and took it out for a ride started better than when I got it. I also bought the $40 one and it tested proper voltage.

Not so in the city. Most CTC stores use automatic load tester - idiotproof.

I have been buying from my local CTC since the late 70s -- I have never had to order a battery, plugs or filter for any car, boat, ATV or motorcycle -- and there have been lots! The city stores keep MC stuff in the back -- you have to visit the parts desk.

Haven't we all been telling you this since page 1 ?
2 weeks shot when you could have been riding - how much was that worth to you ?
 
C'mon. We need to get this thread up to a hundred posts for a ' I think I need a new battery thread '
I can't wait until he decides to change the oil

Fork oil (y)
likely a very good idea, almost guarantee it has never been looked at.
