You inspired me to get a 1969 Honda CT90 and its now running perfect - - all original parts. I like it so much that I may sell off my 2020 Honda Monkey and get a newer Honda CT125. Thank you for all your videos on a whole myriad of topics.
Hi I Had Several CT 90's Back In The Day, During My Teenage Stage, They Are So Much Fun & Cheap To Run. I Am Going To Re- Live My Days On These Bikes, I Have Come Across A CT 90 Hi / Lo 1977 Model Which I Am Going To Rebuild The Engine & Repaint The Bike Original Red... I Am In My 60s Now But Have Plenty Of More Adventures On These Bikes To Go.... I Enjoyed The Video , Enjoy The Bike..
Nice job, but it's good to clean a rusty chain with WD-40, but after that it needs a little motor oil because WD-40 is good at dissolving rust and dispelling water it's not designed to be a good lubricant.
I just picked up a 1970 also had 2broken spokes on the back.My wife is just learning how to ride at age 60 it’s been great she wanted us to get bike’s because of the gas prices so I have been riding a sportster to work most of the summer while she is practicing still this will be my second restoration this year first was a 2002 Yamaha R6 this will be my winter project have fun and good luck
I've had all kinds of bikes...BMW, BSA, Norton, and more, and my newly acquired '84 CT110 (1100 miles) and '79 CT90 (1300 miles) are way too much fun, durable and "safer" than the bigger bikes. Great beach, camping bikes. There's a reason these classics have a cult following.
Much love from Nairobi Kenya I watched till the end...I have a Honda ct110 but it's not easy to get parts here. I'm looking for the battery cover and Honda engine
Man I love this video! Awesome repairs! Sweet bike 😎 keep up the great work brother. I love your channel. I’d be curious of what kind of deal you got on it and how much all the replacement parts cost. No worries if you want or keep that info private 👍 I shared this video with three of my close friends :)
I really enjoyed your video got me inspired to work on my 1969 Honda 90. I don’t have a carburetor I have tried several that didn’t work. Do you have a link to the right one ? Thanks Bruce
Great Re-Birth!! My best experience with the Honda was the 305 Super Hawk! Just when I thought I was done, I tried a Capacitor Discharge Ignition model (works with anything with Points) and hotter Plugs. Went with Suzuki 500 twin - damn!! But most Fun was the 1969 Triumph Bonneville! Currently with a '93 FLH-TC, but at my age (+70) I'm thinking seriously of a downgrade to the Fat-Bob Super-Glide. Safe (and Fun) Travels!! Cheers! B.
Hi, after watching your video, I am inspired to get my 1969 Honda CT90 K1 up and running after 35 years of sitting the garage. I have a new battery and 6.2 volts at the points (as wanted zero with points closed) but no spark. Per your video, I have ordered a new coil and a new condenser and a new spark plug. My question is: when you replaced the coil you did not re-attach the old condenser (capacitor) that was sitting on top of and green wire connected to the old coil; but you started it and looks like it runs great. Does the new coil also have a built-in capacitor effect ??? or was the capacitor never needed?
I used a non spillable 6v "deer feeder" battery on mine. Smaller, no maintainence, mount in any position and $10. Mine is also Martian Orange, though l named it "Dreamsicle".
If you find a barnfind that’s been sitting in it for like 10 years, is it safe to use the remaining gas in the tank to fire it up again? If not, how do you drain it?
I bought a new carb online that was supposed to fit the 69, it doesn't have the same diameter throat as the 69 that you have on your video. Also, yours (and mine) has a slight offset, when you mount the new chinese carb on the stock intake manifold it mounts crooked. Have you noticed this?
Just an FYI. I had a 1970 CT 90 and got it brand new when I was 11. A yellow one. The bike would start with a deader than dead battery on the first or second kick.
Ive got a 74. They haven't changed alot in 60 years and these are what i consider the Greatest motorcycle ever made and super fun, Great video
I'd have to agree! Thank you!

Yeah buddy. Great find.
My first one back about 1965 was a trail 90,I am 71 now!
Oh my goodness! I am so jealous right now!
You'll find one!
Typically you don't want to use synthetic oil because it can cause the auto clutch to slip or ware fast
I really enjoyed your video got me inspired to work on my 1969 Honda 90. I don’t have a carburetor I have tried several that didn’t work. Do you have a link to the right one ?

Thank you Skeet! 👍

Great video

Good comment and observation...I did connect the capacitor but did that off camera. I'm happy to hear you're getting your ct90 running again!

Como te lo pasas... sigue divirtiendote. Un saludo

Hey chi- gong u have any parts need insulator 1970 Ct90 Trail?.Thx
Where do you get the correct carb for that 69. It's different than other years. My carb is so bad I can't bring it back.
I found some on Amazon for like $35. I haven't tried it yet, but noticed they have good reviews!
Those dang offset mounting bolts! I imagine you can pick up a newer model intake manifold to attach a newer model carb off eb
Can I have ur insulator?
