Workshop Manuals off the net

Nev, are Metro still going? Hope so... great guys who support the sport... last I saw a while back they were trying to sell up, and the guys who served me we're too happy about it all.

The bloke was trying to get out of the business, hes only been in it
since Canterbury Road days in the 80's.. He was selling it as a
running business..

 

Fark; and I thought I was bad having to use the manual to find the fuelpump
for my car!

 

You noticed a spelling mistake?

He can read, he's just a two-cheek typist.

Me too!

Not my long-departed Beemers, I now have one of these:

(not quite so blue, different controls & handlebar shroud, no legshield,
but the same bar sticking through the footpeg rubbers and the same
missing chaincase)

I wanted a postie; they are classic and hard core (not to mention red).
But the C90 "Deluxe" (a.k.a. Honda Cub) is close enough. Mine is a bit
ragged, but very cute. I scored it in Narrabundah, 1km from home. Comes
with free delivery! In a ped-slicer HD ute! Previously registered! Owned
by a grizzled old cockie from new! Only 8700km thrashed around his
paddocks! And original key!

Cost me all of $100 (stick that in your pipe, eBay); probably worth more
than that broken into parts. A quick google suggests the C90E was
produced between 84 and 86; that would make mine the newest bike I've
ever owned (and probably the least going). WTF am I going to find a 6V
charger? Jamo Market?

The C90 has been such a well-received designation that Suzuki is also
making one:

STOCK-CODE: MB3518
2, 6, 12V Lead Acid Battery Charger

This fully automatic charger plugs into a power point and will charge
2V, 6V, and 12V sealed, and standard (car) lead acid batteries. When the
battery is completely charged, the current is automatically reduced to
prevent overcharging.

Features:
- 600mA charging current
- Short circuit and wrong polarity protected
- Constant charging current
- No charge if battery connected incorrectly
- LED's for showing charging state, green for charging, red for battery
reversed terminals.

Output lead has battery clips for easy charging. Ideal to trickle charge
your car battery while on holidays or keep those SLA batteries charged
and in tip top condition.

Note: These chargers will not charge a totally flat battery - ie. zero
volts.

I was the registered owner of a 2000 model CT110 for 10 days last year !

Nev..
'03 ZX12R

 

Ummm, errr, I know I've seen one recently which had a 12<->6 switch
on it. Check out K-mart and Dick Smith, because they're the only
places I can think of that I've been recently which might have
then.

Thanks, good suggestion. I already have a 12V charger, I was hoping I'd
need a 6V once only

Gary (nearly bought myself one of Dick's solar-powered chargers for
Christmas)

 

Wimp!

WTF do you need a 6-volt charger for?

On the wee Hondas, you deliberately empty out any fluid in the battery..
(good weed-killer!) and run with a dry battery.

I had a rummage through the half-dozen plug-packs and mobile-phone chargers
in the shed and came up with a 6V 500ma one that I used on gNatalie's CB125
battery.

(PS congrats on the new scoot!)

 

While it's still DIck's head, it's not Dick's company anymore.

He sold it to Wollies years ago.

"Look, it's a Dick Head!"

I had to fix my dad's 6V charger a couple of weeks ago. A $2 bridge fixed
it. He needs it to charge the batteries in his 1927 Ford T, his 1926
Whippet, and his 1943 Ford Jeep.

Getting difficult to buy, except for expensive ones.

Theo

 

Thanks for your suggestion. BT advised me that on these wee Hondas, the
battery is part of the voltage regulation circuitry, and running without
that regulation will blow globes.

Gary (haven't checked the existing globes yet)

 

Now there's a thought! I already have a box of plug-packs and chargers,
maybe all I need is some wire and crococlips.

Thanks. Have photos, need host. Any recommendations?

Gary

 

Dead set. Don't they have generators?

Just what I wanted to hear

Gary

 

Actually, it's not Dick's head anymore. They've changed
the logo.

Doesn't make Dick any less of a dickhead though.

G

 

Yes, but they not in daily use.

Theo

 

Hmmm, still looks like the same old Dick Head to me.

He's not a dickhead, he's just a very silly biscuit maker these days.

DaZZa

 

Congrats Gary, I'm wondering why I spent $700 on my 1967 CT90 now...
