I have been slowly restoring my #2 Twinstar to running condition. Originally I bought it just for its key switch and a few other parts, I decided last year to...
1. Most likely, but have not messed with plugs or wires on my Twinstar in a while. If you use resistor plugs you won't need a resistor cap. 2. Never use...
HYPOTHETICALLY-IF-one was to lose their key to their bike and was not in a financial status to replace the switch,or have a new key made,how would one hotwire...
So, I went to change my oil and clean my oil screen yesterday. I took off the muffler, the kick start, disconnected the clutch, then was confronted with @$#%@!...
... Do you have an impact gun or an impact screwdriver set (the one you hit with a hammer)? These would be my first solution if you don't want to change the...
I used: http://www.westcoastmc.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=300 Be forewarned, they include an allen wrench but depending on the bolt...
a. Impact driver is the only way, all you need is one of those inexpensive ones you hit with a hammer. If you buy Harbor Freight or something similar, I...
I started the 80 Twinstar that I am bringing back to life. When I press the starter, the kickstand went around with it until it hit the peg. Starter and motor...
Can anyone supply a picture for the timing marks on a CM200T 1982 so can put the cam chain on. I have found manuals for the 185 and Rebel 250 but all are...
try this these are the timing advances for a 185, but i use this manual for my 200twinstar 1980 and haven't found much difference. this manual is available...
so i took my '80 200 twinstar out today for a ride and the handle bar vibrations wore out my hands through a reallythick pair of winter gloves as it is still...
The first thing that comes to mind when I hear about handlebar vibration is wheel balancing. I would start there by balancing both wheels. My next thought...
My Twinstar has 1/10 the handlebar vibration of my SL350. It was so smooth but I have to admit I never have gone over 55 mph. But my tires were new and...
AHHH! I let my buddy take my bike for a spin today and he laid it down when he hit a some sand on the road while making a turn at about 25mph! F@$# $% $#@%#$%...
hey, thanks for the offer Jim, but my spedometer and indicator lights survived, thankfully. honda dealership has ordered the rest of the parts for me already....
This project proceeds - very slowly. After I hammered the last phillips screws off the right sidecase (left side allen), it became obvious that I would not be...
Wouldn't it be easier to just remove the engine? I remember when I disassembled and reassembled my bike (a few years ago), it was pretty easy to do that....
I just came across the tank for the 80-81 twinstars at http://www.mrcycles.com/fiche_select2.asp?category=Motorcycles&make=Honda&year=1980&fveh=3163 about 190+...
I have much shorter handlebars than my Twinstar came with, not sure what they came off, I think an old CL175 or CB175. Here is what I have done for vibration,...
I would think the different part numbers might be different colors but that would not explain the price difference. Did they have them in stock or just on the...
I was wondering if anyone has timed a six volt cm185t lately. my question is: when using a timing light and base timing is on f1 and then the timing is...
i got a prob,i put a cam bearing in my bike and now she wont start,turn over fine if i can keep battery charged,however,i made sure that the valves are and...
Hi Ben,  Thanks for the pictures.  Reg Kelvin  I sent a reply via email to you directly, let me know if you still did not get them ... Hi Ben, Thanks for...
Hi Everyone, I'm curious to know if anyone has any resources for 6 volt lighting systems. I would like to find a replacement (upgraded preferably) headlight...
The easiest way to achieve what you want to do is find a Honda Rebel 250 and swap the engines and electrical system. This will give you a bigger motor, (234cc)...
I've looked at my 450 Rebel engine, Way different shape than my Twinstar engine. Nothings imposible when it comes to engine swaps, but this one doesn't look...
