    Rediscovered 1971 CT70H

    So I got the socket and took everything apart. I took out that screw and put a little blue loctite on it. Since I had the clutch out I figured I'd replaced the friction plates as well. Everything went back together just fine. Fired right up and I was able to shift into first with no issue...

    I'm waiting for that socket to be delivered, but I think we are on to something. This screw is VERY loose. when I push the shift peddle the gear moves but the screw does as well. I'm hoping that when I get that big gear off and tighten that screw all will be good again.

    Thanks Luke. I decided to just dive in and see what happens. This is were I'm at. Any advice on how I get this thing off?

    Rediscovered 1971 CT70H

    Well it's been a fun few years riding this thing around the neighborhood. It had been running great for a neglected bike that has been sitting in a barn for 20 years. However now I have run into a problem. Late last summer I was driving it around and all of a sudden I get what seems to be...

    I want to get the title and license plates for the bike. I can check everything off on the State of MT checklist for street legal bikes except the rear view mirror. Everything I've found online so far screws into the handle bars but mine doesn't have screw holes. Any advice on where I might...

    Rediscovered 1971 CT70H

    Figured out the horn issue is the button. If I take the button apart and short the ring inside to the handle bar the horn goes off. So it's just not making the right connection inside the button. I've ordered another. Right now I'm working on the front wheel. Got new tires and tubes. It...

    Progress! I had twins a month ago so I get about 20 min a night to mess around with the bike. But slowly I'm getting things together. So far I've replaced both handle bars, hi/low switch, horn and button, clutch cable, front break cable, front break pads, speedo cable, air filter, battery...

    Rediscovered 1971 CT70H

    Yeah my mom was telling me stories of 40mhp down county dirt roads. Good times. Headed down to the store this afternoon to get the correct oil and get it changed out. I took the clutch cover off just to take a peak. Anything of concern in there? Looks like there's an adjustment screw. The...

    Sage advice... I surely don't want to end up doing that. I've given it about 10 minutes of drive time since I got it running. I had planed on changing the oil again soon anyway just to flush things out so I'll look for a wet clutch motorcycle oil

    I will eventually replace the chain, but what kind of maintenance can I do on it before hand? It's a bit rusty.

    I used generic 10w30. Just what I had laying around.

    Thanks for the reply Gary. I'll take a look at the odometer gear this evening. I was shocked by the mileage. My mom said she rode the sh!t out of it back in the day. I really wish I knew the true mileage but I'm not sure when it stopped working. Definitely a work in progress, but it's...

    Rediscovered 1971 CT70H

    Thanks for the welcome everyone! So I pulled the old gal out of the barn Saturday and brought it home yesterday afternoon. After a light wash to get all the barn gunk off of it I put just enough air in the tires to help push it around and pulled the spark plug to test it. Got great spark out...

    Rediscovered 1971 CT70H

    I was rooting through an old run down barn at my grandmother's house last week and rediscovered a green 1971 CT70H-113422 I used to ride around on it when I was kid (early 90's) and my mom rode it all over the country in the early 70's I had completely forgot about it. From what I can...
