PMed - For future reference, I am from NW Iowa. However I ship a lot of industrial equipment, and can get pretty cheap shipping rates for heavy items.

Selling my CB175 Motor. Willing to part it out or sell it as a whole. I just started tearing down the engine this spring. No longer have a bike that this engine will work in. Have new STD piston for the right cylinder. Have new cylinders for the block. New STD piston rings for both pistons...

With stroboscopic, you are essentially doing the same process, but while the bike is running.

They do mean rotate the points plate, counter clockwise to advance, clockwise to retard. It does not mess up the point gap. All it does is change when the gap is open. Remove the generator cover and rotate by hand counter clockwise until you are just before the F mark. At the F mark, the light...

You will most likely not be able to get a much smaller sealed lead acid battery. However, you can get a battery with the same capacity as the one you currently have, but get a lithium phosphate battery. It will be physically much much smaller. Or you can run a very small battery and a capacitor...

Yes, it does have more hp. I've got a cb175 engine if you are interested. Was running in the fall. Let me know.

Is it damaging anything by riding my bike like that? Ideally I will probably isolate the leak and fix it, but I don't want to damage my engine by having fun with my bike.

Thanks teazer, you have been a big help along my build. I have spent a lot of time reading your posts. However, I do not think that it will ever be case closed.... It is just too much fun to wrench on these bikes. Question for you: The popping you hear from the down shift, engine braking...

Re: My CB200 Build - AKA "Incognito" - UPDATE MARCH 20 - MORE PHOTOS http://youtu.be/tHDfDL-BoZA Sorry I couldn't have a full run by, My street if very short, and by the time I get to my house, I need to let off the accelerator and hit the brake.

Re: My CB200 Build - AKA "Incognito" - UPDATE MARCH 20 - MORE PHOTOS Haha, No I am running new stock gaskets. I'll try n take a vid of the bike running today. Probably not going to be shooting a video of my compression testing methods... Seeing as I haven't tried it yet! All I can say is that...

Re: My CB200 Build - AKA "Incognito" - UPDATE MARCH 20 - MORE PHOTOS Also, milling it off the head increased the compression even more so, because it reduced the volume more than off the block would, because it flares out where the piston is supposed to recess. We milled it to the point where...

Re: My CB200 Build - AKA "Incognito" - UPDATE MARCH 20 - MORE PHOTOS No I did not have to make room for valve clearance. Its hard for me to get a compression reading b/c it is so high, I would have to put the compression tester in the bike and push it down a hill in first gear.... Maybe I will...

Re: My CB200 Build - AKA "Incognito" - UPDATE MARCH 15 - OUTDOOR PHOTOS Some photos of the seat I made.... I had purchased some leather off of ebay. I sewed the pattern myself, and laced it up on the backside to my seat pan, which I made out of 1/8" thermoplastics. There is 1/8" high...

Umm, you cannot because it may have been off because of worn pistons/rings/valves....etc.... All you can do is measure everything up and use the formula to calculate actual current cc's. Or just ask your machinist how much he took off and alter the numbers with that.
