Hi All,

I’m Matt from Suffolk and have recently purchased a 1983 C90c, I had loads of these bikes as a kid and decided to buy one now I’m older as I had so many fond memories owning them, look forward to chatting to you all. 👍

Hi Matt, welcome to the forum.
Is yours a round headlight but with 'modern' 12v electrics and a CDI unit ( no points !)
Cheers Andy.

In case you've not found it, proper Honda Workshop Manual for the C90C on this topic

viewtopic.php?f=44&t=34257

If you use the dropbox link in the 2nd entry on the topic it should work, I can't copy and paste the link itself.

Andy, round headlight, haven’t checked to see if it has points yet, I think it will have

Thank you yes I’ll be up for that, need to get some road tax and mot yet and make sure the bike can do more than a one mile round trip first without breaking down, its been 100% fine so far apart from a back fire on over run and a small amount of clutch slip, I’ve changed the exhaust gasket and found a small amount of the outlet flange had broken off, it hadn’t run for over 30 years so just want to try and get it right first I guess :D

If it's a C90C (which would be right for 1983) it will be 12v CDI ignition. TBH favoured by many as has the round lamp looks and the "sophistication" of the later bikes. :D

Not everyone is riding to Hampshire, some of us cheat with vans and trailers etc. :lol:

The exhaust flange isn’t broken,they are all like that,but I know it looks as if it is.
