I have used noting but NOTOIL on all of my bikes for the last 15 years...it doesn't get any easier to clean and re-lube...they even have rim grease..i switched to the water based green a few years ago..the red is an alcohol base can reduce the life of the filte a bit because it eventually deteriorat...

can you still read the date codes on the rims?..if you could post a pic of their finished product it would be much appreciated (if you didnt send them out to be respoked yet)
thanks
bob

thanks...that just what i was looking for...let me know how your rims turn out when you get them back...i'll give them a call and ship mine out to them..

The local plater (very reputable and does over the top quality show work) wants $650.00 to re-chrome my two rat rims.. Going to check other platers..any recommendations on who does a nice job in the north east without needing a second mortgage?..any of you guys who have done restorations and have ha...

take them to a pro to polish...about 1 hour for each one and they will look like chrome

Had an excellent weekend at the Potomac Vintage Riders York Pa Swap Meet. Hodaka was very well represented not only at the club booth but in the Show and bikes and parts for sale. For sale I saw several Wombats, 2 model 98 Super Rats a Dirt Squirt, a Super Combat, a Road Toad and a Thunder Dog... I ...

You didn't by chance grab a handful of clutch by habit as I do sometimes on my modern bike. As I see this is post number 3 for you so Im taking that maybe your new to Hodaka. So as you know the bike must be in neutral. Kelly That threw me for a loop the first time I tried to start my CW. I was like...

The best is when they list the part incorrectly, it's ratty, and they are asking twice what Paul, Bruce or Dan are asking for an unused part. I just sent a message to a seller telling him what the part fit so he could at least list it correctly. However sometimes when they don't know what they have ...

The York swap meet is looking for more bikes to be in their show on January 22nd Their goal is to have 100+ bikes this year at the event. The forms are not on their web site so if your interested in entering, send me an e-mail at 1relsem@gmail.com and i can get you the forms see you there bob

Keep using them they will break in or you will get more use to the fit and comfort level. The cheaper boots are also just not as comfortable. However if they cause blisters you have an issue...I always use Alpinestar Tec 8's and my last pair broke in comfortably after 1 ride. However since I have be...

After 391 days, unknown hours, and a blown budget, I am considering the project done.
Thanks to Danny for the engine work viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2260
Paul, the Strictly Hodaka Staff and Dan for sourcing the parts...
Next in queue, the 70 Super Rat!
Bob

Dan...I cant get into the transport section of the VMX board.

could you get me your route? there is a bike in Billings Montana I'm interested in..not sure if it's too far north of your return route or not
thanks
bob

Dirt Squirt possibly? I believe that may have been the only other 4 bolt fender.
bob

Guys the rat fender should have 6 holes (the 2 extra are for the rear most number plate bracket to mount to)...also the rat fender is cut out to clear the chain (at least the 1970 one I have is that way not sure about the A or B model) ..the CW fender is flared in to clear the chain and only has 4 h...

i have used 2 pencils or 2 Popsicle sticks before and it worked just fine ..just lay one across each side against the inside of the studs and rotate the crank until the piston is firmly supported

bob

+1 on the lean pilot circuit.. Does turning the air screw in help? Try raising the needle by lowering the clip a notch? That may help your off idle response.
bob

Thanks my suspicions were correct then as they cylinder i took off has a 2 bolt 20 mm intake.....the PO put an ACE cylinder, carb, and head on the 93 cases after they fried a top end...I should have recognized that difference from the parts diagrams..

thanks
bob

I have an early Model 93 MX (frame # B46966) that I just began tearing down for an eventual restoration. The engine befuddles me...The case numbers are M3856 which tells me they are 93Mx cases...the cylinder head has 922501 part number on it which tells me its an ACE 100 head. The cylinder doesn't h...

I talked to Richard Sunday at the MAT Delaware trial. My CW should be done by then and I offered to bring it for the Hodaka Club display...Hope to see you all there.
Bob

Keep them coming Kelly. I'm interested to see your approach...I have a 93 that had a pretty hard life in queue for restoration and am sourcing parts now for it as I finish up my Combat Wombat...
Bob

Matt I had some laying around the garage left over from sealing around a door frame a door a few years ago and tried it and it seems to work well on the airbox cover. If believe I got it a Lowe's. They have all different widths and thicknesses and density ...I looked for the package to get the dimen...

how about a thin strip of weather stripping?
bob

Max I ALWAYS put the open end of the clip at either 6 o'clock or 12 o'clock depending on the location of the cut out area of the piston pin. I have been told that the inertia of the piston and pin hitting the top and the bottom of the stroke could compress the clip slightly. With the opening at the ...
