I took it to a long time local bike shop,....the used a threaded insert/sleve(?) ,..got it da next day,...so far so good,..$58 wasnt too bad :-)...Mr BAD...
I hear people bashing motorcycle dealers (Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha) all the time because they don't work on old bikes or don't have parts. Just look at...
Thanks for taking the time to explain why some do and some don't work on vintage bikes. I have seen the same thing with cars, my 80 f150 was turned down by my...
I notice there are screws on the end of the exhaust. Are these to replace the baffles and if so, how often do you do it? Mine are quiet but I bet are plugged....
Hi all, I have a question for the group. Do you secure/lock your rebel when you park somewhere like perhaps a parking lot or public parking area? Is there a...
I am a relative newbie since October 3 of 2007 but haven't posted yet as I haven't had anything to post. But now I do. Did Honda make a rack for the Twinstar?...
I don't know if Honda made racks, but someone did. I have one on my 1980 cm250t. I currently have a luggage box from an unknown bike bolted to my rack. Not the...
Hay guys i just wanted to let u know all i got left to do is find out the manufacture spects on the carb then i get to put it togher i found a honda dealer...
Hi all, I have yet another question for the group. Today I went size shopping for helmets and I was wondering what kind of personal protection the group...
Most of the time I wear a Shoei RF1000 Jake Zemke replica helmet, I'm not right now because I sent it back to Shoei (at Shoei's expense) to have it checked out...
Hi Terry, My goodness, all those helmets! I totally agree, you get what you pay for. I did not occur to me that helmets come in different weights. I tried on...
Hey group... I just bought my Twinstar today. While quite a basket case, it needs some tlc. Foremost on the list of concerns is the frozen throttle cable. Once...
hello welcome to the group thought i say it the key part is going to be a hard thing to find if u dont have a asembly but if u have the ignition u can go to...
Superficially, the situation was that my throttle was frozen. Starting at twist grip, I disassembled the throttle, eventually removing the cable from the...
i haven't ridden steadily in years but here's my 2 cents worth. Helmets are a must... expect the unexpected. But, IMHO, just as important is eye protection....
I want to finish my parts bike and I keep getting hammered on eBay. I need a key and it eventually went for more than a new OEM key. Then I lost on a carb...
I've got some extra CM200 parts. What year is your bike? I've got a 1980 carb for the bike, though it'll need to be cleaned probably. The bike's been...
... Do you need the intake manifold too? I think I have an extra one. I'll take a look just in case. Not too sure if I have an extra ignition/key set, but I...
I have noticed prices for Twinstar's on eBay going for ridiculous prices. Often as much or more than new when it's something still available from the dealers....
... Do you have the needle and main jet too? I can look to see if I have an extra set. No dice on the ignition switch, but I peruse eBay frequently; I can ...
Yes, I have both the needle and jets. The float is bent though. Keep in mind that Terry bought an eBay new carb for about $35 new. It is not the OEM for the...
I joined recently, me n my little Twinstar. I bought the bike just 7 days ago, not running... no battery and key. But more critical, the throttle was frozen...
... The electric start might be a bugger to repair & replace. It does not come off without removing the points plate and sidecovers. I would think twice...
my '93 engine seems to 'vibrate' more on some days,...am I loosing my mind !? It doesnt seem to be missing, it still starts up well and the power is the...
Only thing I can suggest is to look at the plugs and see if they are gapped correctly and that the valves are set correctly. Not sure how to do it on yor...
