Puffie40 - 09/02/11 at 2:42pm Holy Cripe, That felt like it took forever! One parts bike, Hours of tinkering and a bunch of parts orders later, I got the little guy running!

JimKlaas - 06/26/12 at 11:20am Is the oil level of ALL Hodaka bikes measured with the "dip" stick screwed out? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ eicho1 - 06/26/12 at 12:34pm I thought it was screwed in. But I always overfill them a...

JimKlaas - 06/29/12 at 11:13am My 1972 Wombat 94 is leaking oil. The oil seems to be coming from the cylinder. This has been a known problem that I have been putting off. A year or two ago I replaced the gaskets but when I tightened the nuts down I noticed they never seemed to tighten. I suspect on...

tedwhite - 08/28/06 at 12:49pm We have been trying to figure this out now for about two weeks and have gotten nowhere. I started it one day and it over-revved (without twisting the throttle grip) so I shut it off and put it in the garage. It sat for a month as I was busy working. Two weeks ago I to...

dcooke007 - 06/14/09 at 3:14am Pulled a chrome super rat tank out of the attic that needed some work. The tank was very rusty inside and some one had painted it red. I first degreased the tank and filled it with Evapo-rust and let it sit for 24 hours. Drained tank, inspected and there was still a l...

LoneStarHodaka - 08/03/09 at 12:32pm Well, I buttoned up the Squirt last night after fixing the kickstarter. Y'all were right: I didn't have the retainer clip indexed in the case properly. Now it works, and the clatter is gone from the engine. Perhaps it was something with the kicker, not the top-e...

Bobwombat - 07/13/09 at 3:33pm I posted recently about unusually high compression (approx 190) on my Ace 100.... Well, I popped the lid & found the most carbon buildup I'd ever seen on a piston (777 original miles). But, piston-to-cylinder clearance was excellent at .004 to .005. So, I polished...

sachs175 - 06/30/09 at 10:55am Ed , Paul , Mark , Jared , Folks , What spring rate would be a good starting point with either 13.5 or 14.25 inch progressive shocks. This would be for a 72/73 Wombat or CW with stock swing arm length , 210 lb with gear on rider weight. Not a bike for MX but an RR / T...

Mark Potter - 05/17/09 at 6:52pm Hey - I'm new to the forums, and hoping someone here might be able to help with a couple of questions I've run into. I got an Ace from a neighbor about 10 years ago, who had let it sit for 10-15 years. I had it running within about a week of getting it, and then I '...

camman - 03/06/09 at 7:32pm I made a flywheel weigh on the lathe for a trials bike. It turned out fairly well but the combined weight is 7 lbs. (flywheel and weight). I was shooting for 6 lbs (this is the weight of the Ron Liddle/Jay Lael flywheel weight). But before I return to the lathe to shave ...

Bob_FLA - 10/26/08 at 11:54am My service manual specifies 5 ounces of SAE 20 oil for the front forks. My choices of "Weight" at the store are: Bell Ray 5, 7, 10, 15 Maxima 5,10,15,20 Are there any differences SAE vs Weight from oils back in the day to the oils they have now? The fork oil ...

Bullfrog - 08/01/08 at 4:36pm Well . . . sort of an answer. ;) But let me start with the "marketing hype" -- "Captain Eddie wins his class @ Washougal with new pipe!" That would make a good headline right? However the text of the imaginary article would probably mention that I w...

100mx - 05/31/08 at 6:31pm Hello out in Hodaka land.... I am in need of your help in building a 100cc bike for the Bub's Motorcycle Speed Trials in Bonnieville. Yup that is right I want to run a Hodaka at Bonnieville.. There are several classes in the 100cc's but I plan on running the class M-AG wh...

Kreig - 07/18/08 at 8:03pm I just picked up my "new" Ace 100. The former owner pointed out that the transmission "needs an adjustment". The tranny will shift into first OK, but when you upshift from first, it seems to go into a higher gear than second. The former owner told me h...

hodakarider1973 - 05/05/08 at 1:25pm Apparently during the winter off season maintenance, I have lost the woodruff key used to align the flywheel on my 73 Combat. Anyone know what size the key is? My local hardware store has all sizes, but I don't remember how small it was. They are pretty cheap an...

Forum Admin - 03/20/08 at 8:51am I wanted to show something that we are working on. This post is to show the modified original Hodaka reed cage while using new custom made V-Force reed pedals. This is a simple modification that can easily be done at home with a dremel or other tool. You must be cer...

Larry_S - 04/01/08 at 4:37pm I recently purchased a Hodaka shifter case (not ACE 100) on ebay to convert my 92 B+ to the newer shift pattern. My new case has some problems. The hole for the foot change shaft is egg shaped, making for a lot of up and down slop. Also, the lower rear cover screw hole ...

ASR - 11/13/07 at 8:08am Recently I bought a bike I had in my youth, from 30 years ago. I few things that came to my attention. 1) The bike is smaller than i remember -I think I grew (LOL) 2)The front brake has very little stopping power- I know why those down hills 30 years ago scared me. 3) It st...

DaveG - 03/12/08 at 10:10pm Question for the smart ones...I was speaking with my service manager today and we were talking about the Hodaka factory in Athena. He is from Athena and told me that the factory was just a distribution center for the Hodaka motor cycles and that none were assembled there...

kipper - 10/17/07 at 11:09pm What suggestions for a starter -- thinking about using a wombat for the basis. What mods to do first? thanks ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Earl - 10/18/07 at 9:41am The very most important first step is to ge...

FastMag - 10/16/07 at 1:52am Okay here goes. I have a 1977 03 Wombat completely stock . I have cleaned the carb over and over again. I have my own dip tank and at this point in time you could eat off of this carb. She is clean. I set the idle and then set the air mixture screw at 1 1/2 as per the m...

FXHODA - 04/19/07 at 10:40am Does anyone know what the threads on the Chrome Tanks are on the fuel cocks. I thought it looked like a M10 X 1.0 but I am not sure. I need to make plugs to seal up the tank for cleaning. (Wombat 125) _____________________________________________________________________...

hodakaronwa - 06/29/12 at 11:08am Just want to pay compliment and pitch for these rollers. Have two one on a Combat Wombat frame and one on a Road Toad Frame. Couldn't be happier with either one of them. Just road the Bad Rock trail ride with the Toad version and the poker run with the wombat versi...

dcooke007 - 03/13/12 at 11:03pm This Combat Wombat engine was sent to me dis-assembled a few weeks ago from Phil LaChapelle. Phil has had this bike for a while and decided it was time to get it going again. Measured the piston rod side clearance and found it to be excessive at greater than .020 inc...

Jeff glad you got it -its in great hands. We will be sending you out the right tank this week.

Enjoy it
