Sold the CT70 clone but might buy another one as it was a good ride and was easy to haul .

Got her all registered and tagged today. Waiting on insurance to be completely legal to ride.

First legai ride late today. She moves right along. Doing the slow break-in but did run her up to 50 MPH and the speedometer was only optimistic by 2 MPH so that is good.
50 MPH 4700 RPM on the mini tack in 5th gear.
She seems to handle very well.
Will ride her out to the beach tomorrow looking for a bikini to take some photos like this one from my long gone DF250RTB.

Sounds like she is geared just about right.

There's a bike in the picture????

Off topic but just changed the rear tire on my Suzuki TU250X. Old tire was worn out in just over 5k miles riding in the mountains. Not complaining as the curves and elevation changes are much more fun than here in flat Florida.

I would be worried about you riding around in a bikini like that ,but it sounds like you have done it before and survived .

I don't remember if the question was ever asked or answered, but is this motorcycle using a CG or CB motor?

Really want a white version.

Nice!!!
So what horse power does this bike have?

I may just do that if my one deal falls through. Looking at buying a Suzuki gs550es Monday!

Picked up a set of open end wrenches including a 24mm one. The adjuster covers were very tight.
See the melted rubber on the muffler. Seems I rest my boot heel there. Might have to make a heat shield cover.

Barnone · 11-25-2018, 01:34 PM

Made a foot rest to keep my heel off the muffler.
Thought I had one of these to put on the foot rest around here in my shop but it might be in my shop in WNC.

Now I need to get the melted rubber off the muffler.

I've removed goo like that from a muffler by getting the muffler good and hot, and then giving it a quick wipe with a wadded up rag. Welding gloves are a good idea.

Barnone · 11-25-2018, 03:36 PM

^^^^
I will try that after next ride.

Barnone · 11-25-2018, 03:52 PM

Just saw the tiny sticker on the engine that informed me to not exceed 50 kph (31 MPH) for the first 300 km (186 miles) and do the first oil change at 300 km.

Good luck, trying to control yourself
