Group, I found this 'Testing For No Spark' topic from 2019. https://hodakaforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3655&sid=3a1f7b6c67ffb2a686b95bfc5d803da6 It seems very useful and shows a 2 D-Cell battery device that you can use to help in the diagnosis. Plus I have two more questions using the Super Rat Wi...

Great story! Look for the post titled "Resonator Revisited - Spring 2024". The post is a request for material to include in the next issue of the club newsletter The Resonator Revisited. The cutoff date is April 22nd. I can help you get your pictures posted here as well. Start by selecting...

Hodaka fans are so fortunate to have folks that have invested so much time, effort and money to make parts available for our machines! Terry and Bev, Paul, Greg, Jamie, Bruce, Scott come to mind immediately. Thanks to all of them!

The schedule of events has not been posted yet, but it will be similar to last year.
Thursday - Poker Run
Friday - Bad Rock
Saturday - Trials, Parade and Bike Show
Sunday - Scrambles

Fun ahead Albert!

Kelly, I need to have a conversation with Greg to determine exactly which bike he had there. It's possibly the same bike that I stored and not a 2nd bike. More to learn on this...

Ya know, I stored that 2nd race bike for several years. Probably best that I didn't have a clue about this mod or I would have been tempted to take a peek at it!

Albert, Do you have a spacer that replaces the speedo drive or the actual speedo drive? If the latter, then I would completely disassemble it, clean it up and then pack it with waterproof grease.

For new options (not NOS) Cheng Shin C755 4.10-18 is a great choice. It is the narrowest 18in knobby that I have measured. I have not personally used these, but other possible options are: Dunlop K990 90/100-18 (Old pattern being remade with modern rubber) Dunlop MX33 90/100-18 (Slated to be availab...

Ed

6 cylinder fins vs 7? But at 20 paces, your eyesight is better than mine!

94A also went to a 3.50x18 rear tire, where the 94 came with a 3.00x18. Not sure, but that might have been when they changed from 423 chain to 428? Different aluminum cylinders for the 125: 1: Combat Wombat 2: Super Combat 3: 03 Wombat. Regarding chain size, I believe that the model 94 switched ove...

94A changes included:
Different pipe with screw on adaptor for slip fit.
Addition of turn signals.
Larger taillight.
Added current limiter in attempt to address lamp burnout issues.

Outstanding! Thanks Greg and Kelly for taking the time to document and share these outstanding bikes.

Also a black wiring harness cover I believe.

Probably not a Nigerian Police Bike! But someone may have painted it black by choice. Not unusual. Changing things to make it your own, includes paint! Bet there’s red underneath that black! The Model 92’s all were red, with 17” wheels front & rear and 27mm front forks like on the Ace 90, not o...

There are several posts here on the forum that talk about the black framed Ace 100s from the factory. Here is a link to one such post. You can also find information on these bikes in the book, "Hodaka, The Complete Story of America's Favorite Trail Bike" by Ken Smith. https://hodakaforum.c...

Speaking of condensers I replaced one on my 94 wombat and it runs a lot better. is it me or would a new condenser make it run much smoother, it's under the tank now ..... Perhaps the work of relocating the condenser eliminated a poor connection. Of course, a shorted condenser will kill the spark so...

Yes, totally normal. Rotate the magneto and you will hear a change in tone when the points break.

Which poster has a Bee riding a hodaka ? such as Tule Tiger, or Red Baron . Was the 100B the name or the model number? My answer to the first question is the B+. I had the poster on my wall back in the day and the bike in the woodshed. Very fond memories of that B+. For the second question, my gues...

Ken,
Well now we know the rest of the story! I wondered about the repeated credits given to your book and of course didn't realize that those credits were added after the fact. Protecting your publications must be exhausting!

Someone will have one. I have several Road Toad but no 03 Wombat pumps.
Check with Terry by phone once he is back in the office. His schedule is posted on his website (www.hodaka-parts.com).

I haven't looked at the records, but there were several changes that came about with the B+ that provide a good idea. The B+ had a resettable odometer. It also had a 6 bolt cushioned hub as opposed to the 4 bolt non-cushioned hub on the B. The B+ all had a high front fender although, the later B's a...

A parts compatibility list exists. I believe club member Bill Chapman compiled it, but not positive on that. The web pages where it used to live are no longer available but a google search found it on Bruce Young's Hodaka Parts Idaho web site. Here is a link. You can download it from there. The Hoda...

The models 01 Dirt Squirt and the 02 Road Toad were not painted.

Hey! I know that guy crossing the log! In other news - a couple of posts back . . . the ad with the photo of a cloud of dust. That photo was taken at the Lewiston, Idaho track about the time the Super Combat came out . . . and I'm pretty sure John Dallaire was there. Ed A good chance that I was the...
