Hi Matt Sorry for the late reply. Yes the bushes are not perfect although the faces look ok, both forks have started to leak and this did happen after some zealous riding! What I have decided to do is order new parts from Hodaka Parts and they are on there way. Just have the long wait now for the Co...

Hi Matt Yes I did replace the all the o-rings when the forks were stripped down and they were fine for a few days, now they have started to leak. What I am asking is maybe the sliding bushings on my bike are not correct for the 938700 30mm standard fork as they don't appear to be making enough surfa...

Hi All I have an unusual leak on my 93 Super Rat forks it is coming from the underside of the fork outer nut, the fork oil runs down the outer fork tube and appears to be dripping from the drain hole. However as stated the source of the leak is actually the underside of the fork outer nut? I know th...

Hi Guys So I stripped the carb and found blocked primary jet also found an air leak at the inlet manifold as the o-ring was hard and needed replacing. The bike now starts second kick needs virtually no choke and idles perfectly with excellent throttle response it is also smoking a lot less as it is ...

Hi Guys
Thanks for your replies I will definitely pull the carb and check all jets. Absolutely run an inline filter even though my tank is clean it's cheap insurance! Thanks for the prompt reply and advice I will let you know how I get on.

However once warm I turned the choke off and it just would not run or restart without choke, it did sta...

Hi Matt I replied to Dan because of the email I received when I enquired about a tracking number for my order, however it is signed by Terry and Bev? I guess they may be out of the office and I should give it another week before escalating my complaint. Cheers Steve On Saturday, 24 April 2021, 06:03...

Hi All I purchased some parts for my Model 93 Super Rat from Hodaka-Parts.com and they arrived on Tuesday 18 May. It was a long wait as they were sent on the 12 April, but I am in Australia! My question is has anybody ever received the wrong parts from these guys? I ordered a set of competition EBC ...

Hi Dale Thanks for your reply and the link to the excellent video which explains everything. My forks have the dampner that is welded in and non removable, so now I know they are period correct for the bike. I had a Super Rat when I was a kid back in the 70s and loved it. I have been looking for one...

Hi I am new to the forum having found my 1970 original Super Rat after many years of searching. The bike is in remarkable condition for it's age and is complete, however the front forks were not operating correctly. I have stripped them today and they are the Ceriani type very similar to my H1 Mach ...
