Service Manual

OK, I don't know of any one that's put a two mount system on this bike yet. We've all been using the one handlebar mount, but I want to put the larger storm with the bar-end mount on it and get the mount off the handlebar. Good luck with your two mount system. It will protect more in a tip-over. I'm only concerned with wind and bugs. Be sure to post pictures. I'd like to see yours mounted. Those are the narrow ones like we have been mounting, I see. I want the larger Storm model. The link you sent was just the mount, then you have to find the plastic for it. Hey, I have a set of yellow plastic for that mount that I put on Ebay. Did you find an outlet for Both the mount and the plastic yet? Got a price?

No price yet. They'll come from Twisted Throttle. I expect it'll be around a hundred, plus whatever plastics I get. I'll get the bar end weights also. I'm after the fall protection. The photos look like they mount up well. We'll see. They won't be in country until the end of March, early April. The plastics are a separate purchase. I'll order it all at once.

I see they are out of stock at Cyclegear.com also

I got my front carry rack and exhaust pipe crash bar today from Beez Deals. I guess the Chinese New Year didn't hold it up any. I ordered on the 9th and it shipped on the 10th. It took only 7 days.

It took only 7 days.

Which shipping option did you choose?

I paid the $10 extra for the faster one, I think it said 2-7 days.

Does anyone remember the early CT90 bikes? I had a 1971 I was just looking at the picture of. I have been in situations with bikes that don't have a manual clutch lever, and especially our new CT125, where I'm stuck, or out of power, going up a steep and slippery hill, where I've stopped and I need to roll backwards to turn around. The problem is, both feet are on the ground so I can't work the foot brake. And the front brake just slides the wheel, so you have no stopping power going backwards. And I've wished for a rear brake lever where the clutch lever would be on normal bikes. I was pretty sure I had a bike like that at one time and sure enough, my CT90 had both a foot brake and hand brake for the rear wheel. I really wish Honda had continued to put that on these new bikes. I think it was a great feature for certain conditions. Now for the elite riders you are going to say, "just open the throttle when coasting backwards to get the rear tire to help you stop or slow down." (just like we slip the clutch on bike with a clutch lever). If the engine is dead, a bike with the hand clutch lever will still lock up the rear tire if you engage or slip the clutch. The CT125 will just coast backwards (freewheeling). Anyway, I thought it was a nice feature on the older bikes.

Both of my CT90"s had it, and one of my CT110's had it..

 

[AZ7000']

My 74 doesn’t.

 

[Spydie]

My 74 doesn’t.

I guess only certain years had it. I'm looking at Oxmotorcycles and Rekluse to add a hydraulic lever and brake lines to the rear master cylinder to gain that left hand brake lever.

 

[G19Tony]

Maybe one of these?

If you order a service manual right now there's going to be some kind of snafu. I got on the list to get one with the arrival of their new supply on the 20th. After not hearing from them on shipping it I emailed them and told them their website tracking of my order wasn't showing any progress and asked what happened to my order. I got this back: (I also talked to another guy that accidentally ordered the owners manual then used their system to cancel the order, but it didn't work, and they told him their system is down also)

"At this time the system is not available We will look int to this issue and get back to you. This will cause a delay in response and we do appreciate your patience.

Me too

 

[AZ7000']

Yep

 

[Spydie]

Turns out they didn't ship and nobody at Helminc has a clue what's going on there. My email said mine shipped and "here is your FedEx tracking number." But it's not a fedex tracking number, it's a USPS number, and when you check it, it hasn't shipped, a label was just made. What a screwed-up company. You can't check your order online because "our system is down and we can't track anything." "We've got IT working on it." REALLY???, IT has been working on it for a month now and they can't find the software problem? And how are they preparing orders and shipping if they don't have any working software? How are they actually accessing the orders and processing them? It's all a bunch of lies. I swear Helminc is part of the government!

Deep breath amigo, It will be ok. They sell hundreds, maybe thousands of other manuals, I'm betting it will work out but if not, not that big of a deal...

 

[TahoeMike]

Mine arrived two days ago. They are on the way.

 

[The Duke of PA]

Another one received here!

 

[Kritou]

My bad. you have to pick Trail 125 and not CT125, and you have to add a quantity to the box before pushing the "add to cart" button! DUH... Now I have it on backorder.

Wow .... $149 shipping to UK! For that they should be able to ship Perseverance’s manual to Mars ...
