    How Critical is Piston Head Shape?

    Hi Experts, I'm rebuilding an engine (74' Honda CL200 bored out .5mm over) and I accidentally damaged the pistons that I had. Unfortunately, the place that I got them from is out of stock and probably won't order more from Japan for a month or more, so I'm exploring my options. I've found 56mm...

    Should I Get Larger Carburetors? - Honda CL200

    Hey All, Sorry if this doesn't really belong in the Engines section, but here goes all the same. I'm continuing my rebuild of a 74' CL200. I currently have stock carbs on it (which I believe are 18mm?), but after doing some reading I've seen some people talk about how the stock CL200 carbs are...

    Where to get Replacement Fork Tubes?

    Hi All, I'm continuing my rebuild of a 74' Honda CL200 and need to replace the front fork tubes due to the rust and pitting where the seal travels over. I've replaced the seals on the forks before so I'm moderately familiar with working on them, but I have no idea where I should go to get...

    Why Does My Honda CL200 Only Run With Very Advanced Timing?

    Hey All, I'm working on a CL200 that I'm at my wit's end with. After working on it all summer and not being able to get it to run right, I've stumbled across a solution, but it seems like a dangerous one. The bike starts fine and runs better than it has before, but only if I severely advance...

    What size do I need my cylinders bored to?

    Hi All, I have a Honda Cl200 with low compression (110 Left and 120 Right) and after messing with it for a month I finally decided to bite the bullet and pull the engine apart. Well as I was afraid of, there was a considerable amount of vertical scoring in the cylinder walls and on the pistons...

    Anyone Know the Chain Size For a Honda CL200?

    I've looked in the service manual and the owner's manual and I can't find any mention of chain specs. The old chain is gone and I need to get a new one. Any help would be greatly appreciated! It currently has a 15 and 37 tooth sprocket set up on it.

    CL200 Right Side Won't Idle

    Hey All, I have a '74 CL200 that I'm restoring(it was in bad shape to put it lightly), and I've hit a bit of a snag that I'm hoping you can help me diagnose. The Left cylinder(as you are sitting on the bike) fires up and runs just fine. The right side does not, unless I screw the idle screw...

    Cl200 Points Plate, were there two versions made?!?!

    Hi Experts, I'm in the middle of a 74' CL200 rebuild and have ordered two replacement points from two different companies and neither of them fit because the centering pin is too big. I've looked online and found two different versions of the points assembly plate that has a small centering...

    Spark Timing Advance Springs - Where Can I Get Them?

    Hi All, I'm rebuilding a 74' CL200 that and noticed that the Spark Advance Springs are really loose. I need some new ones, but have NOT been able to find them online. Any advice on where to get them? I would think that I could probably use the CB200 springs as well since the engines are so...
