Those Honda trail bikes are really easy to work on and you can get parts all over the place. You're lucky it isn't a Fuji Rabbit.

I had to look up the Fuji Rabbit.

The Fuji Rabbit S-101 Superflow, 250, 4 stroke is pretty badass. 1961...damn!

You're lucky you got your bike back, zom. It was meant to be with you.

I used to really want a Hodaka Combat Wombat when I was a lad.

Could you get a merit badge for owning one of those?

Sounds like a nickname for a woman in the Army or something.

there are literally hundreds of old 70's dirtbikes like this one just rusting away in junkyards. probably for good reason, although I bet they were fun as shit in their day...

I have a S401 Jr. 150.

It rules but every single part has to be ordered from a 65 year old man in Japan. He too rules. He once sent me parts before I even sent him money.

wow crazy response. ok...cool...


So I had it running great and I run it all over. I parked it. The next went to go ride around and it wont start. It has fresh gas, new plug, new battery. Has spark. Fuel is flowing from the carb drain so I am assuming there is fuel flowing nicely. Im dumbfounded. It has great compression.

I am not a mechanic at all and I really do not want to have to pay 75 bucks an hour, especially when it seems to be an easy fix........I hope

I really didn't think that I would ever hear someone say that. When I was in elementary school the library had this book with old dirt bikes, mostly Japanese, black and white pictures, all with names like that....I think there was a Rat Trap too? My dad used to buy old bikes and fix them up...cursing about my incompetency while I held the flashlight . Some were BSA's (he claimed it stood for Bastard Stalled Again). What was the movie with all of the guys racing bikes in the desert and climbing hills? Any Given Sunday or something like that. McQueen was in it. Motorcycles kick ass.
