Hello, newbie here. Rode a C90 ten years ago, sold it, missed it and have had this red 1986 one since November 22. Here to learn very very basic maintenance to start with and hopefully get better at it as I go along 😀. Also looking for motorbike maintenance classes in the north west for a non- mechanic.

It's a good bike to learn the basics of spannering on

I dare say a lot of us learned on Cubs. 8-)

Indeed, it was a natural progression from push bikes and go karts. No fault codes back then!!

Welcome to the Forum.

Cub maintenance, It's a great life long skill to have. Do you have any local Cubbers to learn from?

Hiya,
Nope, don't know any local cub riders :( I'm in West Yorkshire - will keep an eye out.
But my mate has a Honda monkey bike with the same engine and we are cleaning the carb on Thursday. First lesson. Woohoo!

Ahhh that's a great start. Other things to know about (important to do it right) is oil changing and chain greasing.

Hi Im Steve, live in Northampton-shire/UK and love riding and Enduro racing, have a few road bikes, one is a keeper being a 40yer old VF1000R. The C90 has always been on my mind and always wanted one. The one I have is from 1987 and having had a lot of enjoyment out of it over the past year its starting to show signs of injury. and i'm in desperate need to get her out on the road again.
