Re: 250ED help and advice

Another Aussie Gregg? couldn't find the tool on that site but he sure has few goodies on there, I wish I knew about that site some months ago, I had to make a special 'pronged tube spanner' for a job on my quad bike, and he has it, oh well. After rummaging around in the shed last night I found some ...

250ED help and advice

I have just replaced the fork seals on my 250ED, I had done some research on torque settings for the bottom fork leg bolt (the one that screws into the inner leg), 30Nm seems to be a good figure, but I can't stop the inner leg piston from turning around, I have used a ratchet strap to squash the leg...

Re: New Hodaka in Oz

WE need to start an Australian chapter! i'm in Adelaide SA, where are you Bert? And that bike is looking really really nice. I started out on a Deckson Eagle (i would love to find another, I think all grown men, should-by law- own the first bike they had again). Moved onto a Wombat, had a few then h...

Re: Tie Downs

I have a similar problem with my 250ED, just no where to tie down. I found these straps at the hardware, just loop them over the frame rail at the back, they slip down thru the thin gap between mudgaurd and frame rail nicely. The bike shot was staged, bike is on stand with no forks so I apologise fo...

Re: 250ED gaskets

Excellent, an order will come soon, I will have to have a good look at the bike and web site and see what else I may need.
Would the postage be reduced by much if Thunderdogdownunder and I combined an order?

250ED gaskets

Is there a 250ED engine gasket set available anywhere, I have just bought a Thunderdog that hasn't been started for 20 years, I expect to have to strip the motor down and replace the main bearing seals, I can see that most gaskets seem to be available individually, but it would be nice to buy a comp...

250ED sprockets.

Does anybody know if the rear sprocket for the 250ED is a unique to Hodaka style or can I find one from another bike to fit.
Parts here in Australia are rare so every avenue has to be explored.

My Hodiak project

Inspired by Rich and his Yamadaka post I thought I would post my story. I have been looking for a largish Quad bike for a while to play with, and use at my dirt bike club events, Hodaka don't make a quad so there was no allegiance to any particular brand. But the kicker was that I have never owned a...

My reply to the Facebook page was "you should see the Super Combat Wombat version, but that has stealth mode so you won't see it till tooo late"

Hodaka in the defense industry

This came up on my Facebook page, all my mates loved it, very few of them have seen any Hodakas so I get a lot of stirring. This one is gold.
