I am just running 10w30 in them. I will try switching to the GN4 oil or something compatible. any suggestions?

So I have 2 CT70KO's that seem pretty sloppy with the kickstart (meaning seems like something is slipping) when I kick them over. I have a 1970 z50 that is nothing like these, you kick it and it spins the piston nice and quick. Once running they shift nice and run great. So is this an indication...

Is there anywhere to get a new "ST90" exhaust emblem??

How about a decent air cleaner cover?

I've got several z50's and ct 70's that I have restored, and lately I came across this St90 that I have torn down for a complete resto. Is there anywhere to source turn signals? Some quick searching looks like they were the first things to go on them. Is there anywhere to source the mounts from...

Silver BGM0508 Cherry BGM0509 I did base coat all the red with silver first, it seemed to help give it more depth.

Thanks guys, I media blasted the frame and all painted parts to bare metal. Bike was completely disassembled. Tires are shinko trail wing from chp. Nice tires for the money.

Ok, so this CT70 was in need of a resto. I wanted to make it fairly nice....but it will be something my kids and wife will ride around on. So making it showroom new was not something I wanted. I polished the old chrome and aluminum, I was able to save most all the chrome. Some new cables, tires...

Haha, stay tuned, I have more questions I'm sure. This resto has really made me appreciate the guys who can turn these out showroom ready and functional to boot.

Thanks for the advice guys, I figured it out. The previous owner of this rig had removed the black wire from the electrical connector for the ignition switch. He had it wired somewhere in the factory harness.....which I removed. I installed a new harness and not a new ignition switch so the...

Hi, just finished up a resto on a 1970 ko. It wont shut off with the key, I have to pull the plug wire to stop the motor. Bike has a new chp wiring harness, all my lights work fine. I'm wondering what I could have done wrong. Only thing that was odd to me is there is a black wire that comes out...

Ok yep, I took it back apart, yes I had the green wire right. I should have phrased this better. There is a black wire that comes off the ignition switch, do I hook the ignition coil to the wire there or, to the black/yellow back by the battery. Sorry for the confusion.

Finally reassembling my ct70ko. Installing a new wiring harness and coil, but I'm a little confused to where the green wire next to the ignition switch connector goes. I have a diagram, but still not making sense, so does the coil wire go to the black/yellow wire back by the battery or to the...

Pretty much my thoughts, was hoping somebody could vouch for it being a decent product. Reading his - feedback is kinda scary.

I need a new engine guard for my ct70, CHP is out of stock on theirs. So I'm forced to look elswhere, Honda CT70 Skidplate KO KHO Skidplate Guard Chromed Finsihe 68 76 Models | eBay This is the only one I have ran across so far, anyone have good or bad to say about it? Otherwise is there...
