One of the things we did back in the day, was to extend the frame in the front. ----- Clarence

Hodaka painted with a electrostatic process. How did hodaka cure the painted items and what did they call the color of the paint they used from 1964 to about 1973? --Clarence

sure looks Zippie to me. -- Clarence

Ed your answer is the one I was looking for. I think it has something to do with our age (my age)? To us of the past, a long stroke engine is going to be a slow rpm engine with a lot of torque, boom, boom, boom. A short stroke engine is not going to have allot of torque but will be a screamer. In th...

You could all be right and I could be all alone, on top of the hill. Ed can you help me, Buferd, Victor . ----- Clarence

Not a Greeves. What is your answer Ed?

What is meant by the term, square engine? ------

New question. How many coats of paint, did a hodaka receive and how was it applied? Clarence

Brian good to see you are still on here! Clarence T-- Montana

Victor the 92B had a high fender also. The front fender and fender stay are the same between the 92B and the 92B+. The only difference between the literature and , brochure are for the 92B verses the 92B+ are the chain/sprocket and engine internals on the 92B+. Clarence

If with the Dale check method you are getting a very good spark the condenser is good. I can also check my points with the battery system. Clarence

Victor the picture labeled A is a ace 90 pipe. Picture B is a Ace 100 pipe. C is the 100B model 92A pipe, also note the 100B 92A would also have the lower front fender. Pipe D would be for the 100B model 92B, later referred to as a 100B+ and for the factory 100B model 92B+ that had changes and inter...

As I put my hodaka B+ information to bed I read my 100B+ manual owners hand book and illustrated parts list. It list part number 929510D as the owners hand book for the 92B+... therefor 929510C for the 92B and 929510B for the 92A. The Ace 100 manual number is 929510A. The last thing there is not a f...

On page 62 of the HODAKA book written Ken Smiths it mentions several times that a Ace100A never existed. That is absolutely correct there was never a model Ace 100A ever produced. The three models produced after the Ace 100 were each called a 100B so you had a 100B (model 92A), a 100B - model (92B) ...

On pages 73 and 74 of Ken Smiths book HODAKA what models do those two flyers cover? Not fare looking with a glass!

Dale your second answer relative to the B+ is partly correct the, the 92B was nicknamed a B+ as a marketing tool. If anyone has better information on the subject please share it. after hodaka made the ace 100 they produced the 100B's a name given the street version to each super rat. Please stay wit...

Correct Dale. Very pretty yellow and red, mine is back to back 92B+ on one side and the 93B super rat on the back side. 92B+ is the model, ace 100B is the name and sometimes it was referred to as the 100B+ I think?? -- Clarence

Which poster has a Bee riding a hodaka ? such as Tule Tiger, or Red Baron .
Was the 100B the name or the model number?

Three production hodaka's. The ace 100, super rat and the ace 100B 6-1970

Changes from the 92B to the 92B+ --- the flywheel changed from kokusan FA 119 to Kokusan Denki FA4309. primary drive helicut gears ratio 3.63:1 to the 92B+ helicut gears ratio 2.82:1. Final drive single row 420 chain with the 92B+ using 423 chain. Gear ratio (36T) 2.4:1 (50T) 3.33:1 and the 92B+ (14...

To get understanding, there would have to be discussion and dialogue. Model number verses name, 3 motor cross / super rats Model 93, 93A and 93B. Three street versions each named a 100B, models 92A 92B 92B+. I will have to look up the answer to your last question and answer it tomorrow. Yes there ar...

I see that the factory model of the 92B+ starts with frame number A67613, which is correct with my records. Clarence

I see the light. You are all correct. I learned something from your posts Thanks victor for bringing this out. Clarence

Houston can we find a problem ? I thought the 96 dirt squirt was also called a 92C??it would have 92 parts?? There were 3 dirt squirts produced right ? I guess I can't see any problem I would think the model 96 would start with a 92 motor part number. ------------ Clarence

192 pages in all a masterpiece. In the near future I will share my thoughts and data covering very little, of four pages and basically covering page 187. I will not say I am correct nor will I say anyone else or the book is wrong. ---- Clarence
