Before & After!

Since so many people have been helping me with this Model 03, I thought I would share couple of Before & After photos. So here they are!

Re: Kick Start Lever or Coupler Needed!

OK. How do I tell when the kickstart lever is in the right position for the bolt to pass through and tighten down the splines? I had a problem with the bolt. It appears to not be clearing the kickshaft at the space between the splines. The motor is in the frame, so it's hard to see down inside the h...

Re: Kick Start Lever or Coupler Needed!

If the pIcture in the parts fiche is correct, it looks like I need a kickstart lever for a Model 97. It seems to match the one on my bike. I will need both the kickstart lever, #36 & the bolt #37 to complete my purchase! Call me on Tuesday when you return to the shop! I left my number with Kaity...

Re: Kick Start Lever or Coupler Needed!

OK Paul! I'm not sure what the issue is. Maybe Im just looking at it wrong. What I know is I have a Model 03 frame and a model 94 motor. I don't even know if the kickstart lever I have is original to the bike. If the one you sent me will work, please tell me what I need to do to make it work. It app...

Re: Kick Start Lever or Coupler Needed!

The splines are worn out on the old one, as are the threads for the bolt which tightens it. I don't think it can be fixed any more. The bigger question is, can I make the new one I purchased work on my Model 03? It seems to have clearance issues. Or am I just looking at it incorrectly? Or should I c...

Re: Kick Start Lever or Coupler Needed!

Ok. I ordered a kickstart from Strictly Hodaka. Here's a photo of the old & new. The new one is on the left, the old one is on the right. Is there a way to make the new one work with my Model 03 frame or is it clearly the wrong one? Advise please. Should I return it and try again to get the same...

Re: Kick Start Lever or Coupler Needed!

Well, the kickstart lever I got fit on the shaft, but it doesn't clear the swing arm! Arghhh! Now I need to find one that will fit. Can someone please tell me what will fit AND clear the swing arm? This is the one I bought. ; / Victor

Re: Mdl 95 trail lighting ????

Nope. All I have is the exciter coil for the generation of spark for the ignition. Three wires come out from that. Blue, black & yellow. Yes I have a regulator under the tank right behind the spark coil. Pieces here and there after that. A couple of wires running up to the steering head, a brown...

Re: Mdl 95 trail lighting ????

I see the model 94 lighting coil on the parts list, available for $21.95. However, the wiring harness piece which connects the coil to the wiring leads for the lights is not available. Is there a way to attach bulk wire to the coil? If so, I could be on my way to lights with just the coil & scre...

Danny. No ignition switch, no secondary wiring harness of any kind. No battery, no battery box. I do have the combination hi/low switch & horn button. I believe the PO was possibly using the horn button as a kill switch? I am still working on getting this beast back together. My kickstarter leve...

Re: Mdl 95 trail lighting ????

OK so I'm joining in on this thread as we have similar issues. First question is this. With a Model 94 bottom end, and only one coil on the stator, how do I determine the wattage output of the single stator? 20w? 25w? Need to know how to confirm. Second question is where can I get a second coil and ...

Re: Kick Start Lever or Coupler Needed!

Thanks OLDDOGS! I found one for An old Road Toad. A bit shorter in overall length, but the splines were in good shape, and the price was only $14.99, shipping included! Appreciate the input!!! ; D Victor

Re: Kick Start Lever or Coupler Needed!

OK as an alternative, can someone tell me which kickstart levers would be interchangeable on a Model 94 (serial number based) kickshaft? I need to replace this thing. Ther are several varieties of kickstart levers listed on eBay. Can you tell me by Bike model (i.e. Road Toad, Ace100, Dirt Squirt, Co...

Re: Electrical wiring woes!

Roger, I started following this as well yesterday as it posted right after my post here. Saw it almost immediately. First thing I need to find out is the wattage rating of my headlight. I'm assuming this is stamped on the back of the lamp housing? A couple of screws off will make it easy enough to c...

Re: Electrical wiring woes!

Dale. Yes I have a shop manual. I've studied the wiring diagram repeatedly. But not having all the wires on the harness makes it difficult to know what other wires can be tapped as power sources. I did figure out an alternative yesterday for wiring up the horn. But I won't have confirmation that it ...

Kick Start Lever or Coupler Needed!

OK. So as I stated in the frustrated thread, the splines on the coupler of my Model 03 kickstart lever are stripped & so is the tap for the bolt. So the coupler won't stay securely tightened on the kick shaft. Does anyone have a kickstart lever they can part with? Since this is a Model 94 bottom...

Re: Totally Frustrated!!!

OK. So I have confirmed that the splines on the inside of the kick start lever are shot. They are nearly worn smooth! Also, the tap on the inside which captures the bolt is stripped. This bike appears to have the two part, model 03 kickstart lever. Is there anyone out there who has a spare kickstart...

OK. As I may have stated in a previous post, the PO of this FRANKENBIKE butchere'd the crap out of the wiring harness. It's still a model 03 harness, best I can tell but so much is whacked off its tough to make sense of things. I have a green & brown wire going from he main harness to the steeri...
