Here in New Mexico you can get what’s called a bonded title, it costs something like $300 and takes I believe 3 years to get a clear title. The advantage is that at least you can use it as your own and at the end of the 3 years you get a clean and clear title

Title issues are not fun, definitely some good suggestions here and yes please update us when you get a chance

Hello all it’s been quite a while since I’ve been on this site, still enjoying my old 70 :). While changing out my points and condenser I noticed a bit of oil and I’m not exactly sure where it’s coming from, my first thought was the oil seal circled but it looks dry( I didn’t clean it). Could it...

Just a thought, did you check if the gas cap is in the on position?

Oh with 8 motorcycles and at least 8 bicycles as well, I save nearly all the old parts for all of them, sometimes it's hard to find room :) but I know they are there if I need them.

They are both 71's, while the Yamaha 360 got some attention, the little Honda was the winner, I think it was just what most people started on and people can relate too. Also I think the Yamaha new was just under $1,000 and the CT70 was just over $300, making it more affordable for the average...

It's been awhile since I've posted but I just have to share that my CT70 won "best old school bike" at a local car/motorcycle show(mainly cars). Here is a picture of it with a few of my other bikes. It was amazing to me how many people love the little bike, I guess we're not the only ones that...

Wow, I have limited time to check things out so I kind of went from the first page to last and you are doing some really nice work, looking forward to the finish!

Thanks for posting, I think I'm going to get this book!

I used to buy nearly all my tools from Sears but since most there tools are not made Locally any longer I have been buying on Ebay or from a local guy that sells used tools.

After much discussion and extra photos I drove 6hrs one way to get a bike. This guy must have done some tricky stuff to the photos and just thought i wouldn't look it over good or even ride it, Im not sure, total junk. Maybe he thought I drove so far that I wouldn't want to leave empty handed...

Got out a little this weekend, took the XT out on Saturday and the CT70 out today, these little bikes are so much fun! Here are a few photos.

This is a great thread, thanks for reminding everyone about it! I will have some pictures by the end of this weekend!

My first brand new motorcycle an 85 XT600 I was 19. With less then 100 miles on it, I was cleaning it up in the garage, when done I was backing it out when all of a sudden the bike pulled away from me and went down taking out the right side controls, scratching the tank caused from the garage...

Sounds like something I'd do:18: When finishing up my Yamaha RT1 after the first start in over 30 years I took off for a little spin, I forgot to tighten the rear axle nut and threw the chain, not a big deal on a bicycle but the chain ate up the left side cover including the clutch actuator(a...

Thanks again everyone. Pretty open to any of the early models so suspension no suspension it's all good, I plan on just occasional rides and short ones at that :)

Thanks everyone, this is the kind of stuff I need to know:). I know the search to find the right z50 is going to take some time, it took me quite a few years to find my CT70.

I think I want to go to the next step and get a z50. If you have one I would love to here about it. Also any leads would be greatly appreciated, in fact any advice on these little guys would be very helpful!

I don't think you'll find a new carb for your bike. Most times I just rebuild the old one with a new gasket set, yours looks to be part# 16010-061-305 and looks to still be available from Honda. One thing you may want to do is search some of the online parts vendors. Just do a Google search...

Ya the front is probably original and the rear got replaced with a knobby, very common thing you find on these old enduros. Conradulations on finding what looks to be an original example, my advice to you is only do the things that really need done, as said before they're only original once!
