I know this is probably going to cause some fur to fly, but here goes. Sometime in the near future I will be considering the purchase of a couple bikes for my...
I'll bet a new head is way expensive. I've read where people have had a machinist replace the cam bearings in a head with inserts, probably also expensive. A...
Does anyone know if the same head is used on any other models? f it is then it could make the search for a used one much easier. Trevor ... had a ... also ... ...
Hi, Scott, Would you be considering restoring a CT70 yourself, or picking up one that someone else has done? I have not personally heard much criticism of the...
... well, I got a look at it, and guess what, Trevor is right - the engine has an almost identical number: C100E B00206. I didn't see any other numbers...
Hi Merlin, This certainly is a poser, I think that when you take it apart you keep an eye open for things that might be date stamped. I would be surprised if...
Hi Merlin, Take a look at this website: http://members.tripod.com/heideman/frameset.htm On it you can see where someone has been doing some welding to a frame...
Has anyone tried to tune one of these peaky little engines. From a rough calculation the valves are oversized putting the peak power at between 9500 and 10000...
Hi Robert, What do you intend using the engine for? For road work the 100 works well, especially on tight and twisty stuff, but if you have a more relaxed...
Hi Trevor. The bike is silver and angular. Guaraged for 18 years with 3500 miles when I got hold of it. The bike is great on the twisties, but lacks the...
Hi Trevor. The bike is silver and angular. Guaraged for 18 years with 3500 miles when I got hold of it. The bike is great on the twisties, but lacks the...
Hi Robert, Ah, I think those angular bikes are going to become fashionable in a few years, definitely something worth hanging onto. I know what you mean about...
I'm building a Cafe Racer out of a CB125S (1974). Has anyone tried swapping to a larger tank. I was thinking of something like a CB350. I'm not looking for...
hello i have a tlr 200 the moter is getting a little tired i would like to swap to a 250 i think the moter would bolt straght in .would a late 70s early 80s xr...
Hi, Swopping tanks in itself is not too difficult if the mounts are similar. Where you really need to be careful is in making sure that the forks and handlebar...
I've been busy and away for awhile. I return and..... The pictures are back! The pictures are back! http://www.rootsweb.com/~pollubel/tran/hondac.htm Thank...
Hi guys, It's a 2-stroke 185cc. Grandad did the motor on it, spent about 400 New Zealand dollars, thats about 150 pound, or 200 american dollars. It had a...
Hi, If you know that the frame has enough of a gap to fit the engine then I don't see why you shouldn't use a 250. It could be out with the tape time to make...
Hee hee, I am glad that you are glad that the pictures have returned. The only trouble is it has reminded me that it has been a while since I did any major...
Hi Mark, Let's get the obvious question out of the way first - are you sure that you are actually achieving full throttle, that the slide is truly making its...
Hi Jimmy, I think that the arguments presented on that page are well thought out and quite reasonable - and to be born in mind by those who use race engines...
I once owned a 72 Yamaha RD350 and found that it was very difficult to maintain a constant RPM at hiway speed. It was a lot of fun at the time. I have seen...
I hope not too! It used to pull about 75mph, with a tail wind. But will now only do about 60mph. When I take the air filter out, it fixes it. But I'm told...
Hi Mark, Are you sure the airfilter is OK? Is it identical to the previous one? Trevor ... will now ... But I'm ... Would trying ... though ... well ... about ...
Greetings: I would like to tap into the collective genius yet again. I recently posted a tale of my newly acquired, well used and somewhat forlorn 1978 XL175...
Hello Ian.....I just went through 3 1/2 months of chasing a short in my CT110 that I knew would kill me before I found it! It ended up to be a broken tab in...
Trevor, We'll apart from not having holes in it, yes it's identical! It is Suzuki Genuine Parts. I'm not sure how long the old filter had had holes in it for....
Hi guys, Was thinking more about why my TS185 wouldn't rev out. I'd never actually let it rev up with only about half throttle. Took it for a ride using about...
