Hi all.
My father in law left a 1969 CT90 to my sons. He never got to finish the restoration project before he passed on. Can anyone tell me where to get a good manual to put it all back together? I think I have almost everything... just pieces everywhere. Should be a fun project for me and my boys.
Thanks,
Danny.
Can anyone tell me where the rectifier is located on a 70 trail bike 90? Thanks.
The rectifier is located in the hollow area behind the battery. (You'll need to remove the battery mounting-plate-thingy) You'll also need to take the air cleaner box on the opposite side of the bike to access the rectifier mounting nut and washer.
Hello.
I'm looking for advice on this issue. I have a Honda Trail 90, 1968, that I just got and am trying to fix up. One issue is that the engine runs good when the head light is "off" or on "Low", but the engine dies immediately when the "HIGH" light is switched "on". The rectifier was recently replaced and I double checked it with a meter - working fine. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jim.
I just bought a 1976 CT 90 and love this bike!
I had to redo the electrical system a little to bring the horn and turn signals back to life. A new spark plug and oil change and this baby fires right up.
Only issue is that the top speed on my bike seems to be ~35mph... I did get it going 40mph down a very steep hill, but that was with the throttle wide open and after waiting for gravity to kick in. I hear that its top speed on a flat road should be ~45-55mph. Any ideas on how I can breathe some mph back into my bike? I would like a little bit faster top speed. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
I recently found my grandfathers Honda CT90. My grandfather parked the bike in the shed still going over 20 years ago. The battery is stuffed, the tires need replacing, the spark plug is probably stuffed and the bike needs cleaning. Other than that I don't know what sort of condition it is in.
I am thinking of getting it professionally restored. How much would this cost, as an estimate?
Or is this bike simple enough that somebody with nothing beyond basic mechanical knowledge could fix?
I'm looking to get a CT.. but not sure if I should go 110 or a 90. Which year / size CT is my best bet? Blessings.
I bought a 1976 Honda CT-90 a few weeks ago and love it. I grew up on the trail 110's back home on our farm in Washington State so they hold some sentimental value to me. Great bikes! I feel like my bike is bogging out a little bit coming out of neutral into first gear and then even into second gear out of first. I only weigh about 205 lbs. so I would think it should have some torque right out of neutral, but I find myself coming out of stop signs really pushing with my legs to get it going. Once I'm running we're good, but it's the initial start up I'm having problems with... accelerating. I give it gas and it feels like it wants to kill unless I let off the gas and really ease into it, I mean really ease into it. I just remember our 110's pulling me around pretty darn well. Is it the 90cc to 110cc power margin that has me confused or is there something that is causing me to bog down in 1st? Any suggestions? Is this just what I need to expect with a CT-90? The bike is in mint condition and only has 1400 miles on it. Are there adjustments I can make? Thanks for any help.
I have a 1975 Honda CT 90 Trail - Model CT90K6. Sometimes it will start on the first kick and sometimes there will be no compression on the kick starter. I have to keep working the kick starter until compression comes and then it will start. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this problem?
I recently bought a 1970 Honda Trail 90 off ebay. I still have not got it running, it has lots of compression, but it just won't spark. I looked at the points and they seemed to be OK. What could the problem be? Email chrsbsh1@gmail.com. Thanks!!
Hi, thanks for your time as you read this, but I own a 1973 Honda Trail CT90 and it ran fine and dandy, but a little rough, so I thought I would tune it up a bit and cleaned the plug, therefore changing the oil...
After I changed the oil, I continued to start, and it ran for a minute and all of a sudden it just ran out of power; it was kinda weird, like the head light slowly faded away and now it won't start. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Again thanks for your time...???
Hey, I'm considering buying a 1970 CT-90. There is one for sale down the road. It is clean as can be on the outside, and it has about 3000 miles. What are some things to ask or check for when I go and talk to this guy/test drive? Thanks!
I just got a 1968 CT 90, and it has the 2 sprockets on the rear wheel, how did this work? Is it the chain length that changes?
Thanks.
The '68 ct-90's had an additional length of chain that had to be manually installed to use low range.
Disconnect the master link, add an additional chain, place the chain on a larger sprocket.
Viola, low range.
