  • I made this video to show the internal workings of a Honda CT90 engine. I built the engine using CT90 cases that I had machined so the the engine would still function mechanically and so that you would be able to see all of the components operating from the outside.
    This video is a part of a post I did at my CT90 blog that is focused on the repair and restoration of Honda CT90 and CT200 motorcycles.

    AMAZING! The 1976 trail 90 is the first motorcycle I ever rode by myself when I was 8 years old, I was KING of the WORLD that day!

    So i am busy with a quad semi auto gsmoon . Have to make parts because nothing availible in my country . Anyway. Built s clutch up for it which was the issue but cant see inside what the symtom is now is gear lever is super tight wondering if my springs on clutch are to tight and making clutch hard to decompress . There is clearance . Question should it be easy like by hand to push in? Or decompress?

  • @marc-antoineethier1862

    Do you think we can add the Lo Hi case to a Honda or a clone . Need the internal shaft ( longer ) but the case of the engine is the same ?

    Waw what an amazing video.
    So if I hold the gear lever down the clutch stays engaged?
    Also could.the low range be added to a new Lifan 125cc motor?

    • @michaelmineart1889
      @michaelmineart1889  Před rokem +1

      Hi, No when you depress and hold the gear lever down (or up for that matter...) the clutch is fully disengaged. I've never had a Lifan motor so I can't say for sure if a low range could be added, but my hunch is that you wouldn't be able to take CT90 or CT110 parts and bolt them on to a Lifan to add a low range.

  • @mikesai8561
    @mikesai8561 Před 3 lety

    Awesome video! I just picked up a non running 1969 ct 90 and starting to clean her up. I noticed when I put it in high gear and shift through the gears the rear wheel still turns really easy no compression sounds from engine. When I put it in low gear and push it it is definetly harder to push and you can hear the engine turning over. Where would you suggest I start looking?

    • @michaelmineart1889
      @michaelmineart1889  Před 3 lety

      It's really tough to say without actually being there with you and the bike to see what is really going on. My first guess is that you might not have the sub-transmission all the way in the high gear position. With the sub-transmission it is very easy to move the lever and get it in to the low range position because with the way the gears are configured there are many positions where the gears will easily engage. When you move the level to the high range position there are only a few positions where the dogs that drive the gears will engage, so while you have moved the lever in the right direction and it seems to hit a stop your actually not all the way into the high range. To get it all the way into the high range you can continue to apply pressure to the lever while you roll the bike forward a bit and have it in 1st gear and see if it finally gets into the high range position. You should feel/hear a clunk when the dogs in the sub-transmission finally engage. Good luck and I hope this helps you with your CT90!

    I have a 125cc Chinese atv with a honda clone engine
    It starts fine, but when you ride it over a certain revs, not very high the engine vibration is unbelievable, spoke to someone who said it could be
    A lose fly wheel, not that
    Or a damaged clutch pack, stripped the clutch pack and all seems fine
    Please can someone help
