    New Guy Honda CT70 Build

    This is the one I got. I’m not sure if the guy that made the box did it by hand, but the fit isn’t the greatest. I had to add over half an inch of padding to the bottom just so the battery wouldn’t be wedged into it. Let’s see if this works. ML1.3-12 - 12 Volt 1.3 AH SLA Battery - Mighty Max...

    Lifan 125 rattle noise from clutch area

    Check that the tangs of the speedo drive gear haven’t been smashed flat when the brake plate was installed in the hub.

    New Guy Honda CT70 Build

    I have a stock length aluminum swingarm along with those same or at least very similar shocks. I didn't have to shim them nearly as much, but I did use 2 flat washers on the inboard side. Two other things... are the top mounts loose on the frame stud? I had to use 10-12mm bushings to take up...

    First Chinese... Piranha 140

    I’ve only run mine 3 or 4 times and I’ve touched my inner thigh on the head pipe every single time.

    First Chinese... Piranha 140

    The 16/35 combo currently on mine makes 1st gear absolutely useless. I’ll have a 32t tomorrow to try out.

    CT70 K4 Johnny Cash Special

    The PE26 came with 48 pilot and 108 main jets in it. Changed to a 42/102 combo and it runs so much better. Ordered a 32t rear sprocket so I can actually use 1st gear and a new throttle cable from Tbolt so I can adjust the freeplay. On to registration.

    Calling out Warner Steel

    Thanks for what you had published Mike. TBH, I thought else had happened. And I now realize my OP probably comes off a bit mean-spirited, but it wasn’t meant that way. You’re the reason I built my Johnny Cash K4.

    CT70 piranha 140cc motor wiring harness

    Another key switch option is one from a CT110. And if you get this one off eBay, you can get a matching (keyed same) helmet lock if your bike has the provision...

    CT70 piranha 140cc motor wiring harness

    I used the trail buddy universal harness and it it works great. I actually unwrapped it and took the electric start pieces out, but they can easily be left alone and just wrapped and tucked away.

    Calling out Warner Steel

    I'm calling out Mini Bike Mike. Why has your Youtube channel vanished? It's as simple as that. You had subs, you were putting out good content. Why just up and end it all?

    CT70 K4 Johnny Cash Special

    It runs! And moves! First, thanks for the comments guys. I received the last two things I needed for it to go and stop. The chain is just a plain 420 from Parts Unlimited. Got that installed and adjusted along with a clone brake pedal. I was waiting to get the engine and pegs in to see if the...

    CT70 K4 Johnny Cash Special

    And.... 4 months later, here we are. YX140 engine from TrailBuddy along with their aluminum exhaust and a set of clone foot pegs. I will most likely be cutting off the center stand as I do not trust it AT ALL. It seems like a gust of wind could knock it off the stand. Due to the exhaust, I don't...

    Wont Start

    I’d check cam timing as well, to see if it skipped a tooth

    Front Fork Pipes ( not sure if that’s the right name )

    I'd open mine up mine for you, but I'm lazy, and I don't have a need to otherwise. :)

    Front Fork Pipes ( not sure if that’s the right name )

    Do I have this “spacer” right?

    One reason is probably intake freeze from the venturi effect. Back when I was into aircooled VW's, I drove from San Diego to Sacramento one year for Bugorama and somewhere around Fresno IIRC I all of a sudden had cruise control. IOW, the carb had sufficiently froze enough to stick the butterfly...

    Does this seem like a good deal or legit?

    Or buy a full set from NEVC for $200 for the pair like I did. https://hondanuts.com/1016-Front-Fork-Assy-Honda-CT70-K2-1979-P5971730.aspx

    2 women cross Morocco on classic (looking) Monkeys

    This showed up in my Google feed today. The videos are pretty short, but I think what these two ladies did was frickin' awesome. Monkey Bike Mafia https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC26bCcwIvFsdk4g_Af1qIHA/featured

    CT70 K4 Johnny Cash Special

    After another round of parts from CHP and TBolt, it's now a roller. Fuel tank kit, rear wheel spacers and seal and 2FastMotos tailight, plus some odds and ends results in.... As I was polishing the chrome strip on the frame I did a small part of the swingarm. It came out pretty nice so of...
