  • Will It Run? Resurrecting a 1965 Honda C100 Cub After Years of Neglect #c100 #vintagemotorcycles
    Welcome back to Motorcycle Rewind! In today's episode, we're taking you back to 1965 as we try to breathe life into a long-forgotten Honda C100 Cub. For those who are new to the world of vintage motorcycles, the Honda C100 Cub is an iconic model, a timeless classic that has played a significant role in motorcycling history. This particular bike has been sitting in a garage untouched and unloved for decades, but we're about to change that! Can we make it purr without purchasing a single part? Tune in to find out.
    In this in-depth process, we will be focusing on the three vital necessities of any functioning motor: Spark, Fuel, and Compression. Join us as we meticulously investigate each aspect, problem-solve on the fly, and hopefully get this nostalgic piece of history rolling again.
    Whether you're a motorcycle enthusiast, a lover of classic models, or someone interested in the art of motorcycle restoration, this video is a must-watch. So grab your toolbox, put on your mechanic's cap, and join us in this exciting motorcycle revival project.
    We encourage all viewers to share your thoughts, insights, and experiences in the comments section. We're building a community of passionate riders and restorers here, and your input is always valued!
    Don't forget to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoy it and subscribe to our channel for more motorcycle rewind adventures. Can we ignite the past and bring this 1965 Honda C100 Cub back to the present? Let's find out together on Motorcycle Rewind.

    Very cool, a Honda 50 was my second bike when growing up. I just bought a A 1984 Cub 70 at 70 years old. Yep the roller starter was Griff’s. One smart man!

    I learned how to ride on a Honda 50 S on gravel roads. It had a clutch with 3 speeds.
    In the mid 1960's I was living large, relatively speaking.
    Nice video
    Many memories
    Thanks

    Those alarm batteries are also good as permanent replacements for any bike as long as it does not have electric start, they can't deliver the juice for an electric starter, for everything else they are golden.

      @motorcyclerewind  Před 11 měsíci +1

      I have had one in my 305 Dream for a couple of years now. I only use the electric starter. To be fair that is the only electric start bike I have with an alarm battery. Not a big enough sample size. 😂

    Be very careful with that kickstart the shaft can break off .Finding a replacement for that is a mission and changing the shaft requires a total engine strip down Just had to do a C110 (1962) same engine good plan to use the starter rollers
