Sorry for all this time without news, I thought about this problem and I made this support for the clutch control and see what happens when I press the selector. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/2886/nVHnbE.jpg Apparently it works, the selector disengages correctly ? https://imagizer ...

Thanks gebrandicus, no problem, we learn every day about our beloved Monkeys ! And you were right about the copper washer under the headbolt, I corrected its position ;) So, I already have my clutch problem, do you think this clutch could be fitted on my Z50M : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/315520552551 ...

Thanks gerbrandicus, I'll try to do what you say, adjust the screw (anti-clockwise) and press the clutch a little bit, and try to kick. About your sidenote : all the bolts fixing the oilpump are original, this engine never was open before, a picture when I opened it : https://imagizer.imageshack.com ...

Thanks butt head, Plates were inspected and were perfectly plane, and centrifugal clutch is fully operating. Another information : when pushing on the outer clutch it presses in perfectly, releasing the clutch plates, which is what happens when you change gear : https://imagizer.imageshack.com ...

Thanks Wim ! Very strange in fact ... As you know the clutch on Z50M is centrifugal and also controlled by the selector when changing gear. So when the engine is turned off the clutch is disengaged, even if I engage first gear, press and hold the gear lever down. I use Motul 3000 20W50 Jaso MA2 as ...

Hello from France, Please tell me if you prefer french or english text as I am sorry to be not very easy with Nederlands ? I finished to restore a very rare Z50M French type, with a frame number under 100, so one of the very first produced in 1967. Some pics : https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924 ...

Big re-up ! 8-) Just to say that I made new stickers for the CF50, PM if you need : http://www.honda60-70s.net/Pieces/sticker_Honda_Motor_NV/Sticker_Honda_Made_in_Belgium_1.JPG http://www.honda60-70s.net/Pieces/sticker_CF50_France/Sticker_Honda_CF50_Belgium_1.JPG Bike was finished 2 years ago, run ...

Do you know if these stickers are available ?

If not, I can make some new perfect copies for a low price.

I am surprised by Magura, I was sure that these parts were made in Belgium or Netherlands ?
Not easy to find by the way, I tried ebay and other websites, nothing !

Another question : it seems that these parts are impossible to find new ? Do you have an idea ? I f I can find a source for making new parts, perfect copies, do you think some people could be interested ? Thanks http://imageshack.com/a/img923/4494/11va3w.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img923/820/veUqGB ...

Excellent idea, I always preferred the soft methods ! :wink: So I bought some plumber's equipment : http://imageshack.com/a/img923/9590/LvBHIF.jpg Fitted on the fork and in the vice : http://imageshack.com/a/img924/238/wTxBFU.jpg Unscrew the 2 screws : http://imageshack.com/a/img923/5591/hdn41T.jpg ...

Thanks Klaas, so you confirm it is the right method for dismantling the pipes ? Just remove the circlip and hit hard ? The oil seals are 50 years old and they leak a little oil. The pipes are in good condition, the measurements are within the tolerances. Stunningly the rear shocks are perfect, no ...

On big Honda bikes (250 to 750) of the era, the Allen screws under the bottom cases have to be unscrewed to dismantle the pipes. This is not the case with this CF50 fork, a friend of my forum said that on his CG125 the pipes are maintained only by the circlip and the oil seal, you have to beat down ...

Thanks wim, unfortunately the parts-list is showing the 1st model of front fork, the model fitted on CF50 seems to be the same than the one fitted on SS50 1966, 1st model sold in France in the same time than the CF50. After heating at 120°C + 2 days with a lot of WD40, the 2nd chrome tube is quite ...
