Hi there,
     Im on with my first rebuild, a yamaha rd125dx, it was a complete basket case when i picked it up but very cheap (£80) with loads of spares, only problem with all this is I dont really know what is there and what isnt so its only until I got building it I could see what was missing. Must agree about the cost though, it can rise very quickly without you knowing about it, still the main thing is the fun of rebuilding it and getting to ride it when finished.

No the crank turns in the normal direction, with both the starter motor and the kick start.

Im totally lost by it to be honest, there is just no other way for it to go back together?

Japanese Bikes / CB72 Ignition

Hi there, iv been rebuilding a 1965 Honda CB72 for my dad, iv got all back together but im having big problems with the ignition / points.

It has the type 1 system (two sets of points) but they seam to be open all the time and close to fire the plug? Is this correct?

I also cant get the plug to fire at the right time, it should be about 5 deg before tdc, it is firing about 45 deg before tdc! But no amount of adjustment on the back plate moves this?

Hi there, im trying to find either a workshop manual or a handbook for a honda cb72.  Im also trying to find some detailed pictures of the honda 250 6 cyliner (rc 166) for a project im doing.

Thank you
Chris
