We have a 1973 CL175, it only charges the Battery at 11.8 volts. I have replaced the Rectifier. Before replacing the rectifier the bike would run, but only...
Mike, The regulator would be a good bet at this point. I wouldn't bypass the regulator...good chance it would cook the battery...although these bikes aren't...
Thank you, I will stay on the regulator. Hope I can get just a little more juice. What is the Voltage at your Battery? Thanks Again! Mike ... ride ... electric...
That sounds promising. You'll never get much more than 12.4v at 2000 rpm, that close to idle rpm for the bike. I once saw a charging graph for a 175 in a...
I also found that if I put pressure on the Headlight housing it gets brighter. so I am now on a mission to clean every ground, every connector, etc... _____ ...
You'd be surprised just how many times it's the grounds on old bikes that cause the problem....then again....maybe you wouldn't be surprised :) JohnnyB ... ...
As always very nicely done John. When I worked at a VW shop we dove them out by placing a similar tool on the end of a air hammer . Robin Halbert 229 ... ...
Robin, What's up bro? Hows the race bike? Other part of story is....I had to make the tool cause as usual I pull the engine apart for a check two weeks before...
John, The engine is screaming. and getting faster! The oil cooer is working great! Too cool if anything. I was in 5th place in F160 and first place in V250...
Robin, Sounds like a lot of fun! I've almost given up racing in the rain...of course most of the time when it rains I'm going so slow a crash won't hurt much...
Hi All, I have been working on rebuilding a Honda CL160 for sometime now. I stripped the bike just before christmas then haven't touched it since. Now that the...
Anthony, Seems like I remember there should be a bar extending between those two points on the frame where it looks like something might have been cut or...
Thank you to everyone for showing in up Seattle and having such a good time and riding safe. I had a blast and was impressed with all the great people and...
Robin, I ended up giving away my new VM26's....never could get them sorted...and I'm pretty good at this stuff. Went to a set of new Keihin PE24 race carbs,...
John, The VM26's were running great until I crashed coming out of the shakane and crushed my pipe. I put on a new pipe and the jetting was way lean! The more...
Robin, The problem I had with the VM was very similar...sensitivity to changes. Which leads me to believe they could be an excellent carb that would achieve...
hi John and crew, I rebuilt the carbs on my '65, runs great, I did have to trim the bowl gaskets (yes kester kits), but they still seep some, I checked and ...
petcock leaking past the aluminum washers on the mounting screws that came with that kit, replacing with some old mounting screws and fibre washers seems to be...
Dale, I just checked my CL160 parts manual and it doesn't even list seperate carb parts....just shows the whole carb...Carb Assembly! Wow...expensive way to...
well the fibre washers didn't work, the only thing I can think of is to pull the petcock again and check the mating surface where the mounting screws hit...and...
Real Nice work John, I blew my motor at Spokane race way last weekend. Dropped the right Intake valve again @ 7000 RPM under a load. Same failure as last...
Robin, Any idea why it's dropping the intake? I've done an exhaust once but never the intake. I'm using 5.5mm stem Ferrea intakes. That rpm is way low for...
James, Pistons are a big question. Most people getting the best hp are using some kind of custom piston they have made special. I use 56, and 57mm pistons on...
By far the fastest CB160 racing with AHRMA was torn down last year at Daytona, and found to be completely legal. Make no mistake, however - Denny rides the...
