The height of the clutch varies when the plates get worn it gets taller. It's possible someone shaved the pusher piece shorter. As long as it works then it must be ok then.

The longer one. The short one is likely one of the kick starter rollers for the one way clutch there.

I cannot help but join in on this discussion, as I too have suffered from this malady. I'm sure not all cases have the same root cause, but here's what happened to my model 95 Combat in about 2008. Stuck in fifth gear while racing. Added o ring between motos, and it worked for the rest of the day. N...

We already have this event at Hodaka Days. It needs all your support to survive. Please consider racing in the Hodaka scrambles, on the Harry Taylor track in Athena. The club is 100% invested in this, and we need riders to keep it going. God Bless our late friend Robin Hannah, who thought the CZ and...

Clarence: This is a very special bike, that I built in 2008 and have been developing ever since. The engine work is by Rich Gagnon, and it uses a 38 mm mikuni with vanes in front and back. It uses a case port, and modified o3 Womabt head, which was milled .060 thousandths, and has grooves cut in it....

and I finally won the grand prix! First time winning the gp since 2003. This time I get my name on the Jim Pomeroy trophy. I can hardly wait to see it in the Athena public library. It felt like a divine intervention, as allot of things had to go my way to pull this off, and they all did go right, ju...

I agree! Just brilliant, Kevin

The one inch longer tubes are model 97 and 98. You have two different model fork tubes.

Thank you for the nice compliment. They have been a labor of love.

Hey, I like your bike. The exhaust is really neat! I have an Ace 90 trials bike that is pretty similar. They run damn good with that Ace 90 pipe on there. You can fit a modern trials tire such as the Dunlop D803, if you jack the tire over to the right with the spokes. I do it on the bike, so you can...

This what the forks look like on the bike.

Since my name was mentioned, I thought I would comment on the Honda CR 125m forks I run. They are 36 mm, from a 1976/1977 CR 125m. They had 7 inches of travel originally, but mine have had the damper rods shortened by 1 inch. I did this by carefully measuring the inch, and cutting them with a tubing...

Bad reeds cause lean running, and hard to start. They could actually be bad. Inspecting them is best if you can. Also check or get a bigger pilot jet if it sounds lean. Of course it could have a bad crank seal too.

I'd stick with 32:1 indefinitely if you plan on sustained high rpm high load riding such as street riding. The thinner oil mix ratios work best in short burst scenarios, such as observed trials, where there isn't so much heat build up. Red line is damn good oil, but at 50:1 I had wrist pin bearing f...

Will be held in Clarkston Washington at 10:00 am, on September tenth. We will ride south from Grumpy's tavern, in Clarkston Heights, and head for The rattlesnake grade, south of Asotin. His favorite restaurant is Boggan's Oasis, at the bottom of the Rattlesnake grade, which we will pass by on the wa...

Take a good look at the bushing on the clutch. If it will not release, but loosening the clutch nut makes it release, the bushing is apple cored and effectively too short. I would start there.

Wow, that is great press! Thank you for pointing that out! It was so fun to race such a talented group of riders!

Thank you. It's all in your head whether you did good or bad. Something we all struggle with I'm sure. Sometimes I look at this and feel elated! Other times I think of ways I could have tried harder or something. Thanks.

Thanks for the nice comments! I'm really pleased with the bike. I think the first article is more or less background info on how the bike came into being. The second as yet unwritten one, will delve into the engine in more detail.

The new Brumby does work pretty well. I managed to hold my own against the incredible pool of talent there. Fifth in the Pomeroy cup race, and first in 125 vintage expert. Here are some pictures to give you an idea what went on there. This is the rider roster, not the results. Results are 1 B Glover...

Well done flying the Hodaka flag Dale! Your bikes are so cool!

Bob, check your e mail I wrote a little article about the Brumby.

Inside the engine of the new 125 Brumby. Note the JB weld in the transfer area. This is where the cases have been welded and the transfer passages dramatically enlarged.
