Replaced the tubes on my HK1 and put it all back together and my cable is loose now and the speedo doesn't work. I tried not to knock everything around when taking the wheels off but at some point the gear fell out a few times. I thought nothing of it and put everything back together and now...

I know it's not a Z50 but anybody know the best way to get the idle jet out of this carb? It's not like you can unscrew it like a CT70. Just drill it out and press in the new?

Not sure if I understand this completely. Can you guys elaborate on this for me?

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/5662453626.html Looking for one of these? Don't see them too often. Spare engine too. Doesn't look too bad. Maybe an OBO?

Got the stator out for inspection and this is what I have. Looks like the oil had all 677 original miles in it as you can see the dark particles flowing out. The points look pretty good too considering (original?). Everything on this bike says ridden little, not tooled, not abused. Like Todd...

Scrolling though the web this morning looking at photos of SL70s and, low and behold, right in the middle of the photo set is Dr. Evil. My first thought was, "No way, it's Kirby!" Turns out it was. Lol. Apparently he is omnipresent. I'm just waiting to see if laser beams have been...

Decided to look into the original carb (supposedly) on an HK1 I have to see if I could get it back to life. 533a with a 58 main. Ultrasonic/heat cleaned it and that is when I noticed that it had been repaired before. The copper tube in the lower bowl chamber has a tear in it about a half inch...

You can't help but sometimes mix business with pleasure. Being self employed does help with that regard. When an appraisal assignment for a house is within two miles of my home I am always tempted to ride my CT70 to do the inspection. When the house happens to be along my "ride route" through...

What is the OEM heat shield for K1+? For the most part i have seen the lower heat shields with horizontal cuts in the lower end. Once in a while I see lower heat shields with holes instead. I have seen these on a few bikes, very few bikes, that span the years. My question is, was this a...

The first ct70 I ever rode was a mighty green. Could never have one as a kid and only got to ride my friends. At 36 i bought my HK1 and love it. Bought another HK1 but now i am really wishing i had that Mighty Green. Not sure exactly why. Its not the green....i just.... Am i crazy for...

I can't even get my carbs to run correctly, but being the starry eyed ambitious, barely mechanically inclined CT70 owner that I am, I am going to start my new project of building a CT70 from the ground up. All from scrap metal. I guess I had better learn how to use this lathe first. I...

I just wanted to catch up on the latest with CYS paint and who is out there that can do it right. Mikes minitrail? Has anyone seen a CYS from them? I saw some dated forum pics of bikes that came out gold and I am concerned. This was some time ago so is there any recent advice you all can...

I have seached a lot lately to find out more information on original carbs. I am not sure what a "533a" carb is specifically, what else there was out there originally by year/model, what exactly I have, or what is a good replacement carb/Jetting for my year and model. According to DrAtv: THE...

Never mind. Timing is correct when checked on the compression stroke. Figured it out with a little reading.

Sorry if this has been posted before. I could not find any information on this. Can anyone tell me if Honda made CT70s with wider handlebars? Specifically with regard to the HKO and HK1s? I have seen a lot of different width online. I have two HK1s and one has handlebars that are obviously...

Can anyone tell where to get this low cost compression tester Honda talks about in the manuals? I can find nothing like it. How is anyone else testing compression at home? Are you buying $200 compression testers? Re: Batteries- Do you have to get a special connector for the battery...

Why is there such variation with regard to the angles of handlebars on the 70's? I have a 72 HK1 and its bars are pretty straight and even with my shoulders while my 71 KO has bars that bend in and the grips are closer together. I have seen these closer together bars/grips in a lot of photos...
