I've added a couple of photos to the photo section showing how I mounted a bicycle speedo sensor and trigger. Not really visible in the photos is the fact that...
Amazing stuff....makes me want to tell guys like that...how about doing some machine work on a engine that really races in a real motorcycle. Gotta be a Zen...
John, Someday someday. That's cool stuff right there! I would like to put out the extra money for the programmable ignition how ever that is a lot of extra...
Just catching up on my email and noticed the discussion of using a bicycle speedometer/computer. It just so happens I have been gathering information about...
The little speedos are very cool, do all kinds of stuff. Speed, max speed, avg. speed, running time, time, date etc. Very accurate too if you do the initial...
Driving yesterday, I felt my bike begin to slip coming off a start and the smell of gas. I pulled over and found a hose dangling spilling fuel underneath the...
It probably is still connected....that's a carb overflow drain. One end connects to the carb, the other dangles....when the float level in the carb is too...
Thanks — looked at it this morning and it's not coming from the hose, but just draining down from somewhere inside. Is that the same deal — the float level...
If it's fuel, then it's almost certainly coming from the carbs, in which case it's almost always a problem with the float level being too high, or the float...
Hi all, Kibble finally got the valves done. The cost for their kits is very high (I WOULD CALL IT A screw YOU PRICE). They have drop in spring kits with Ti...
Robin, That's about what I paid for custom Ferrea intakes in SS. ($60) 1mm oversize, included the machine work of course. Manle Gen 2 exhaust were a bit...
I have a '69 cl175 and i gave it a kick to start it up and the kick starter just stayed down. At first I thought that the bolt that holds the kick start lever...
Marty....sounds like you have it pretty much covered as to possible causes. Mostly likely the spring or the shaft binding up in the bushing. While you have...
I'm just putting my '68 CD175 back together after holing a piston during MotogiroUSA '06. I've pretty much tuned by gosh and by golly up 'til now, which...
Neil, You don't often find actual specs for the timing on the CD models. However all you have to do to set the timing is align the "F" mark on the flywheel...
Thanx John. I'm familiar with the timing marks on the stator since I used those to set the cam timing. If I were to do a dynamic timing I'd assume I need to...
Neil, I'd guess the 72 and the 160 are pretty close if not the same timing. And yeah I'd think it would be fully advanced at 3500...they do kick in at a real...
The specs for my old BSA Lightning called for dynamic timing at 3500 RPM to ensure timing was fully advanced. I figured the Honda has to be something similar. ...
Neil, Hey, throw a K&N filter on there and jet up one size and you'll be flying! Year before last Mary ran our 67 Sears 106 (gilera)...I was amazed, she kept...
I remember Mary on her Sears 106. I went head to head with her a couple times but every time I built up enough steam and got alongside I hit a grade and lost...
Looks really spendy. ... _________________________________________________________________ Dave vs. Carl: The Insignificant Championship Series. Who will win?...
Hi everyone, Happy New Year ! I hope you have enjoyed the holidays. Its been a while since I have last posted so I thought I would say hello and also see if...
