    Rediscovered 1971 CT70H

    I'd suggest you go with Rotella T4 15W-40. Cheap at walmart and good to go with wet clutches. Also make sure you are not using ethanol. While it will seem to run fine, you will eventually have to get used to cleaning up your carburetor every year and in the long term it will be destroyed. Most...

    Some pics I took last summer of my '69 K1, I think she turned out nice!

    Honda's fabulous Cubs: 100+ million sold!

    Wanted to show members here some individual pictures of my "Covid19 lock down" projects which I started back in August with the goal of finishing up before Christmas. However with parts shipment delays etc. that was impossible. This project would be a "sympathetic restoration" on 3 Honda C100's...

    1972 CT90 idles fine, runs bad at higher rpm

    I've had the same problem that stumped me for a while, turned out to be the spark plug. Switch plugs and problem went away. I'd spent time looking at the carburetor for the problem.

    64' Yamaha YA6 info needed

    I've had 3 of them, but sold a couple last year, after finding a nice one with only a 1k miles on it. I've been showing it this past summer at numerous shows. It got first place at Motorado in Santa Fe this month. Looks like you found a solid bike to restore, but you'll need to be cautious on...

    Reclaimed S90

    Thanks for posting the bulletin, I remember seeing it a few years ago as well. The important part about that bulletin, is just how vague Honda is about it. They don't specify a beginning serial number for the many models that were in production at the beginning of '67 (such as the S90). So when...

    Reclaimed S90

    1967 is generally considered the time when the switch from JIS to ISO metric was made.

    Why I do my own maintenance

    I've had those kind of things happen to me before, lesson learned. Those teen-agers working on your car know less than most adults about your car and couldn't care less.

    From Barn Find to "Super" the S90 project.

    You're correct, I ended up having to re-attach it as well, never had that issue on an ignition switch before!:ty: So for the final update, as this project is mostly wrapped up! The last items to arrive were a new ribbed front tire, since the original had severe age cracking. Also the rubber for...

    From Barn Find to "Super" the S90 project.

    Back on the S90 project. I was having an intermittent electrical problem (I know the worst kind) that was being caused by a loose solder joint on the ignition switch body, that grounded the frame to the battery. This didn't have any effect on the speedometer lighting or headlights or even the...

    From Barn Find to "Super" the S90 project.

    Getting back to work on my S90 project, so it's time for a small update although some parts didn't arrive as soon as I thought they would::frusty: , such as a new tube for rear tire. So I went ahead with installing the speedometer with new bulbs into the original plastic head light bucket...

    From Barn Find to "Super" the S90 project.

    Finally a little more time for this project and update. It's time to put into the frame the main wiring harness as well as the ignition switch. This bike has the early 3 position switch instead of 2 position. The non removable battery box always makes it hard to get your hands inside the frame...

    From Barn Find to "Super" the S90 project.

    Here's a restoration thread on one of my little Honda's. I'm thinking some of you should at least be familiar with the "Super 90" Not quite the littlest, but certainly not the biggest in my collection either. Hope you all enjoy!:peace: I've had this '65 Honda S90 for a couple of years now and...

    My Little Honda's

    Back in the sixties, Honda made two different models of Mopeds. Until this year, I've never owned any kind of Moped, so when I got a chance to pick up both models that were made in that decade, I jumped on it. The first model Honda produced was called a P50, which was a motor wheel design. It is...

    C100 supercub 50

    Would have been built in late '61. Do you have a picture of the right side as well as tail light assembly. Also does it have the coil on the magneto or is it inside the frame.

    Restoring a Honda C110

    .......And finally here it is, my almost new again Honda C110, or every 14yr old's dream bike in 1964 Here's a picture of this model from a '66 dealer brochure for comparison. After researching original photo's, ad's etc. it appears that the head being aluminum, should have no paint. My...

    Restoring a Honda C110

    Back on track with the build. The messy job of tearing engine down for new seals, gaskets and whatever else needs attention. Engine was leaking alot and had a tendency to jump out of 2nd gear. So needed to address those issues. Doing a quick job on the lift as my engine rebuild table was covered...

    $80.00 for Hydraulic fluid change on Chevy Tracker?

    The price of $80 is not a bad deal, if the job is done properly. The automatic transmission is not a place for novices to mess with. I'd be concerned about any tech telling me I needed something other than what I went in for. Part of his commission???? Get another opinion from a your dealer. If...
