Lol now there's a title that you won't see every day, check out my newest motorcycle 😎 I think it's going to be wicked once I fix it all up, build an exhaust from scratch and stud the tires 😎

Great video of Gn'Arden Hard Enduro champion Lanthier blasting the hero line in Donnybrook to take the lead and yesterdays event 😎

Right behind that flywheel that spins with the crankshaft, you're almost there. The big nut in the middle needs to be removed and then the next thing you will need is a puller to remove the flywheel because it is on a taper shaft with a keyway, the flywheel carries the magnets that make the power when they pass by the stator coils. Breaker points ignition is also behind that flywheel and a small condenser/capacitor too.

Nice! 👍 but you are still not shopping for a Trials bike, the FE250 is an Enduro bike and TRF is a Trail Riders Fellowship. Husky FE is what we call a 'Big bike' because it's a hundred pounds heavier than a modern Trials bike.

If you road trip to Land O'Lakes region in Ontario you can ride with me 👍 & we might see a Moose, bring your GasGas not a gun.

Couple of our top riders are riding GasGas sponsored bikes here, they don't ride the old ones so yep time will tell, if it can be broken I'll get to see it, probably have to collect up the broken pieces too. Trials bikes are nothing compared to Enduro bikes for parts being broken, those things go through parts and tires like crazy, Trials bikes are amazing at surviving crashes and far less dangerous to be on or around.

We ride 11 months of the year here with the aid of studded tires, weekdays and weekends nobody pays to ride with me and I have ~400 acres of world class riding area, all guests sign a waiver. YMMV depends on where you live. Are there many other places like my place, no absolutely not, that's why I do it. Starts with having the land and suitable terrain, winter riding is weather dependent on the gods and requires a heated garage to launch from.

If you ride hard enduro, you won't have a problem riding any modern trials bike over the same or more difficult terrain, true hard enduro is a mix of junior to intermediate level trials terrain. I regularly host both observed trials events and hard enduro races. One thing I do see is that enduro riders that ride their trials bike like an enduro bike don't learn much about trials riding, you need to actually ride trials style to learn trials technique.

Thank you for the confirmation that front forks are one of the most over-looked maintenance items on the average motorcycle.

If your suggestion is that 6 fork oil changes in 43 years is good, you are offering very bad advice.

Kickstart is on the left side, that will greatly reduce your options for replacement.

Jitsie sells the cheapest complete replacement dog bone assembly, Honda wanted about 30% more $ last time I bought one.

Easy, drive them out with a hammer and a socket wrench. or press them out with a vise and two sockets. Two bearings in each end of the dog bone for a total of 4 bearings plus 4 seals.

Ignition Distributor 🤔 does not exist unless you have multiple cylinders, single cylinder engine has a single ignition pickup coil to replace the single breaker points (aka trigger coil)

Rebuild the old one with drawn cup needle bearings and seals sourced from a local bearing supply store, the linkage is garbage if the hole for the bearing gets smashed out of round. The stock bash plate does a poor job of protecting the linkage.

Fork oil changes; not nearly enough, twice a year isn't really sufficient, front forks are one of the most over-looked maintenance items on the average motorcycle. Forks have no filtration and any contamination in the fork oil becomes grinding compound that will eventually destroy your lower fork legs.

Transmission oil; when I think of it, when the clutch starts to make strange noises, after I've been doing a lot of riding through deep water, or if the bike has been subjected to a lot of severe temperature changes that would promote condensation. Transmissions only hold half a litre and don't even need a filter change so more frequent the better. The old oil is goods for chain oil on the bikes or chain saws. ... 10 hours would have me changing the oil ever week & that ain't happening, I ride closer to ~30 hours weekly. Cost is not crazy because I run all season excavator oil that I buy in 19 litre pails.

Motorcycle scrap yard that has small displacement euro bikes would be the best source for replacement. You can find an example wiring diagram for the internals of the CDI module if you google up "motoplat CDI wiring diagram" images.

Is easy: The silver box is the regulator and the red box is the rectifier, both of those relate to powering your fan which required DC voltage. The fan will also have a thermostat switch so the fan only turns on when it gets hot. Your ignition parts consist of an alternator which produces AC energy to power everything plus a sensor to know where the piston is, both those items are inside the engine casings, attached to the CDI black box that initiates an electric charge to the ignition coil which intensifies the voltage from the CDI box so that it can make the plug spark 🤓 Good start would be clean and reconnect all the connections to everything including the ground wire which you can ohm meter test, then try for spark again. If it comes to meter testing I would always start at the source of the power which is the alternator output, service manuals will tell you how. The coils and ignition wires can be ohm meter tested but the CDI box would need to be swapped out with a known good one to know for sure if you need a new CDI box.

Good friend was running loops of our hard enduro course today in practice for riding next weekend in the Scott 😎 I had to take every shortcut possible just to keep up, he was setting lap times comparable to the enduro bikes and it was raining lol so he thought it was perfect practice. Safe journey and best luck to all attending the race 👍

Sounds like a blast to ride if you can make it light enough and from what I've seen and ridden that means using a lot of non period parts, like wheels suspension and brakes, with period correct everything it starts to sound like too scary a ride for me. Those things weighed a ton and had brakes like leather.

Plastics Huge difference between makes in both durability and replacement cost, especially if you want it with stickers. add: Then there is ISSO which is a manufacturing process specification that allows companies like Honda to manufacture 4RT engines anywhere in the world that facilities exist.

Seems that there is sufficient radial movement in your low pressure radial tire to rip the valve stem out of your bias tire inner tubes without the tire bead sliding on the rim. When they run a mousse in an enduro bike tire they lubricate the mousse so it slides inside the tire without damage, maybe you can similarly lubricate your inner tube so it isn't damaged by the tire movement in the radial direction.

Super nice competitive motorcycle, one finger brake, one finger clutch, lively suspension, very low centre of gravity and plenty of power on tap. They eat a fair amount of fuel but very little oil, as with any fuel injected engine keep the fuel level high in the tank for better cooling of the expensive fuel pump. The rad fan makes enough noise to scare bears away 😎

Then you will need to practice lots and lots until you get good at it 👍 there is no down side if you don't mind crashing once in a while.
