Kinda like showing up to your girlfriend's parent's house for Thanksgiving dinner with a bucket of KFC and half a 40? Those manners?

Great advice, Max. Thank you so much!!

Also, does anyone run a different gas:oil ratio or use different gear case oil? Do you flush the gear case after a rebuild. Sorry if this is too much stuff to ask.

Thank you for your replies. The manuals describe pulling the piston and dressing any shiny (I assume indicating high) sections with ultrafine grit W/D sandpaper. Does anyone perform this maneuver? Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply, Squid. Here's my ignorance shining through. I have heard of the heat cycling technique. What exactly does that accomplish?

Hi friends, I was wondering how everyone proceeds with breaking in a new motor or top end. I follow Hodaka Dave's directions - namely running at least a full tank of gas through at varying engine speeds short of wide open on standard 32:1 (91 octane non-oxygenated pump gas with Yamalube R2). After t...

Rats. I too should've sent something. I don't have anything close to a concourse resto but I do have a stable of Hodies that (thanks to Paul and Hodaka Dave) I routinely beat the crap out of. If you want a mud encrusted Combat Wombat or Rat and similarly adorned rider, then I'm your man.

Happy birthday with best wishes and my hope for many, many more to come. Thank you for all the sage advice you provide this forum.

Hi River, If you go to the library on hodaka-parts and check the dealer (Dealee) binder, the first Resonator edition that comes up describes the conversion kit. It clearly mentions the magneto fly wheel and the advantage the heavier fly wheel has on mellowing the power of the race motors for enduro ...

In a special accessory edition of the Resonator, there is listed a trail lighting kit designed for the "Supers" (Super Rat and Super Combat). It's part number is 201615. From the description, this kit introduces a "flywheel effect" because of the necessary magneto-type flywheel w...

Hey Am103. I live in Cedar Falls and have excellent examples of both of the bikes you are working on. I race the Combat Wombat and the Ace 100 is my daily rider. Neither one is a 100 point resto but the CW is an excellent race resto and the Ace is an equally excellent rider resto. Both were rehabili...

If that's a Torque Engineering pipe, the cops are going to love you!
