Have to clean the spark plug now and then, and have replaced the battery and recovered the seat. Also replaced fork seals. It still needs a muffler.
This was my grandfather's hunting bike, so it's a keepsake. This is what people rode before the 3-wheelers and quad runners took over. It will go through anything. Has a 2-speed (high-low) gearbox and a three speed transmission. Low is LOW... made to go up STEEP hills. The bike is easy to ride, quiet, and fun to putt around on to the store or down a dirt trail. It's also really quiet, at idle it barely makes a sound.
These all have a four speed transmission (not three) and the high / low range selector. They are great trail bikes!
I'm having trouble with the electricals. It seems to run the battery down (lights dim then go out) then dies. After awhile it starts up and runs like a top. Going to change the battery and looking for a electronic rectifier. Anyone had the same problems, or know where I can get a rectifier?
I have 2 rectifiers for sale on ebay; a 67 and a 69. Both bikes are being dismantled and sold for parts on the historic section of motorcycle parts. 2 bucks and 5 for shipping should get you what you need. Good luck.
90's are the best trail bikes around, so back off you dirt bikes.
I am having the EXACT electrical problems. Lights dim and then kill the motor. I thought it may be a short or bad battery. Did a new rectifier fix your problem? Please let me know what the fix might be. fred9895@yahoo.com
Does anyone have a head case for sale? (The plastic casing that holds the speedometer and head light.) If so please leave a comment.
I love to shred in the snow with my '78 CT90. Those things do awesome even when they're 8 inches deep in snow.
I have one, it is really cool. I would recommend it.
I have a '71 CT90, and it's my preferred hunting bike over my quad, you just can't beat the 90.
Which year is the best to buy for a first timer (regarding the CT90)?
