Are you pleased with the bike overall?bikerbaker wrote:One other that I know of but not sure if it's on the road yet.Capitano wrote:Yep, there's at least one (bikerbaker) and probably more.gtd65 wrote:It is indeed.
The baton has been passed over to the other variant that sells on eBay but not sure if anybody on here has one?
No great problems yet but not done a lot of mileage. Lovely bright headlight (always on!). I'm happy.

Front brake light - lever sender

Has anyone got a picture of this ? I cant see it on mine ? and the nice MOT man says should have one..Newtsalad wrote:Hi Kev, presume it's not much different to the Cubs? If you have electrics up to the front brake lever, you may see where a small 'switch' pokes out and contacts the brake lever?
Easy replaced and not expensive.
regards

Re: RIDERS CUB DISCUSSION
look between the pivot and where the brake cable fits on the fixed bit.

Re: RIDERS CUB DISCUSSION
Anybody know what the correct replacement battery is?
Mine is still hanging on in there but I think it's days are numbered...

Re: RIDERS CUB DISCUSSION
Get a stock cub size one as it should fit if you file a bit away by the battery breather.
This is a cub battery in the riders frame and you can see where the breather hits it,this is the kickstart only battery dont know what the e/s one is like if yours has one.

Re: RIDERS CUB DISCUSSION
Hi Steve,
It "looks similar" to the original one fitted.
When I was looking on eBay they all appeared to be a square shape for the Honda but that was presumably just a stock picture.
Mine seems to be charging up fine bit wasn't liking extended turning over to start up the engine.
If you don't start my bike for a while it's very reluctant to fire up - start it regularly and no problem at all but it had been quite a few months.
Noticed that the EGR tubing has split and is splitting in several places as well - been taped up for now but I guess complete removal with be the next job on the cards
Anybody here removed the EGR system and have any comments?

Removing the egr used to be a tune up tip.

Re: RIDERS CUB DISCUSSION
S'not egr is it? I thought it was adding fresh air into the exhaust so the cat has some oxygen to burn?

Re: RIDERS CUB DISCUSSION
No, it's EGR, got a Riders exhaust on my Honda Cub, definitely no cat in it, £25.53 new from Riders of Yeovil last year when they were selling off stock at half price before outing what was left as a job lot. Fits perfectly, has no detrimental effect on performance, if anything it seems a fraction quicker off the mark. Rode all through winter on salted roads, chrome still perfect!

Re: RIDERS CUB DISCUSSION
The simple answer is use it more often! Fuel may have deteriorated sitting around as well.gtd65 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2017 12:04 pmHi Steve,
