Big Bore Honda CT90 / Trail 125 (Part 1: Building It)

- Опубликовано: 24 сен 2016
- Trying to revive an old Honda ATC 125 motor and transplant it into a CT90 to make a trail 125. The original 90cc engine was in fine shape, but I couldn't resist giving this a try.

Having your son help you like that is awesome. It's how I learned how to make a living. RIP Dad, I miss the hell outta ya.

Hope you're doing well, my guy.
Your helper is hired - he works without complaining and follows commands with a quick and determined effort. These qualities guarantee his future. Your project is amazing.
Figures, one of most enjoyable youtubers to watch has a life and rarely uploads...

OUTSTANDING edit! - As someone else who spends HUGE amounts of time editing my videos; I can (and DO) TRULY appreciate all the cutaways etc and how ridiculously LONG the process IS to make such videos! - Great pacing; sure beats sitting through hours waiting for the person to do it step by step!
7:25 Junior mechanic taking care of the enginebolts. So cute!
"...one more shot at the lightning glue...." Seriously, I almost fell out of my chair... that's classic. This is a great project. Little people helpers are amazing, I actually had my daughters under my car and it's hood many times while they were growing up.
My friends' dad has one of these that he bought new. I've heard so many stories of how indestructable and unstoppable that thing is. It's never been rebuilt, and it can still take a large rider, or two smaller riders, anywhere you want to go. Through mud, streams, and up steep hills; nothing stops it.
Loved the way you just jumped in and the hell with the consequences! Living the dream and getting your boy involved is always a good thing. Your style of re-using what you have appeals to me also. Subd.
hell yea !!!
I Know life is busy and things change, I rewatched this video today, enjoyed it again, Thanks, Hope all is well with you and family, I do miss these videos, and time you spent for us to bring it all together, Thanks JEFF
Every time I see a Honda 90,it reminds me of my preteen days. My older brother helped me get one for ten dollars. Which may have well been ten million for a poor boy in the sticks. Sadly it blew up before I got to take my first ride, and no money to fix it Working in the fields didn't come close for the parts. great replacement swap of the engine . I have owned bikes since then,but still would like to ride one.
This video is hysterical! I started watching it because the first motorcycle that I ever rode all by myself was my fathers 1976 Honda Trail 90. The setting was an empty fig orchard in Fresno California, the bike was a Sultry Honda Red Color, I was 10 years old, but boy was I ever, " King of the World" on that thing.
Love this stuff! Custom valve spring compression tool... priceless! I've been tinkering for 40 years and have never seen anyone as creative as you. Definitely need to add a welder to my toolshed. You need your own show!
thanks so much for the compliment, and for checking out the videos.
I watched this build last year when I found this channel. Coming back to it now because I picked up a 110 today
Man you're good.A.wealth of knowledge.When your boy hits 20 he'll be showin you stuff :-)
Loved the project. I'm 37 and have no mechanical skill but I am so inspired by this that I want to start a hobby of buying broke down bikes and learning to fix them. Thanks for your videos and personality.
I love how you take the mystery out of things. By improvising, the way you often do, it makes it easier to understand how things work and has given me the confidence to start to take things apart and have a go at fixing them myself. I love your videos man......and your wife :D
In 1965, In installed a Powroll Big Bore Kit in my own CT90. It used a piston from the Honda CB250 twin and gave 103cc's to my 86.7cc stock Honda 90 engine. It produced a quite noticeable increase in low-end torque, but excessive vibration reduced max RPM, so there was probably a DEcrease in maximum horsepower. It still was a very cool bike to have, and I wish I could find that old girl. Thanks for a very enjoyable video.
Miss those days. My son is 33 now. I always enjoyed having him help me with projects. Nice video brother.
I love how he gives his kid a kiss of success on his forehead I love this guy
I just got a CT90 and honestly I was just gonna fix it up as is. BUT since I'm also in school for welding/fab.... I know exactly what I'm doing for the rest of my life. Thanks for the inspiration
Sarcasm is a lost art! You sir have mastered it, well done!
"Lightning glue"
Yess.
I had an old Honda Trail 90 when I was a young kid, It also had a bent intake valve. Grandpa put it in his lathe, indicated it in off the stem and banged it with a lead hammer until she was good enough. I put it back together and she fired right up and ran for several more years. Good memories!
I know this is an old YT. But I am watching for at least the second time. You are crazy-smart. How you make things from nothing just blows me away! Soldier On!
Your kid is going to look back one day and know he had a great dad that taught him real skills, your kid in the video is the greatest part of this video
Love to see you and your handsome some son working together on this project, he's going to be bad ass mechanic, learning from the best...his father...
You and your family are awesome people, you give some hope for the average guy in his garage or back yard, please be safe and warm and peace and love for you and your family always
Dude, I love that you include your kids in your projects!!! Kids NEED that type of experience of working with Dad, fixing, tinkering , failing, then succeeding. Good job!
G&K Ol' School The Boy is already pretty good with small engines. He understands them better than I do!
Just rewatching some old videos. I hope all is well with you and your family. The Ct90 is still one of my favorite project.
Super cool machine. The Chinese 125 engines are not too bad, the metallurgy and tolerances are pretty good these days. CDI ignition too. Good luck with this groovy trike!
A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain`t !! LOL
Anyone take a bet someone else welded that nice muffler? Fine work there.
Brackets on the other hand looked like my welds I did with my dads old Lincoln stick welder.
Gotta say nice job with the Honda 90 it might not have been a total basket case but close, a little money and good bit of patience and ingenuity and you've got yourself a very useful machine great job
Your son is very mechanically gifted, just like his father!
You & camera girl are great ! super good step by step teaching with a side order of clean comedy. 5 stars
I like the way you do things like going above and beyond to make things look original or like they would come from the factory instead of just shortcuts
Your awesome man. Seriously I watched several of your videos. You and your wife also have a fun sense of humor. Blessing to you and yours.
I find it comforting that there are welders out there as bad as me 😂
Your Trail 90 videos I think are by far my favorite. Please keep them up
I just purchased 1967 trail 90. He really had it listed for $2,200. I purchased it for $1,400. Brake light does not work headlight is not very bright, horn is not very loud. it does over 40 it's. The yellow filter was not mounted. run so far terrific. Need to get a helmet now, I am excited to start investing
If only everybody who makes these kind of videos would make them like this. Fast to the point and great editing, no messing about. Great stuff, thumbs up!
i just picked up the same 125 atc engine for free, gonna put it on a 64 ct200 frame. you're an inspiration man
Did a modded '76' model trail 90 with my boss not long ago for a charity ride. Mod list included ct125 triple clamps, ct125 forks, ct125 21" front wheel, ct125 swing arm, xl185 18" rear wheel, longer travel rear shocks, and a Lifan 150cc engine with 30mm oko carb and takegowa performance exhaust. There are a few other lesser mods as well. Many people ask why would you bother but they don't get that, like any customising, when you do the work yourself the journey is the reward and you end up with something cool and unique at the end.
You are a character 😀 i came across your seadoo project revival and got hooked on your videos. I just wish most of the mechanics i came across had one tenth of the knowledge you have. Greetings from Portugal.
I really love the creativity and home engineering involved in these projects. You never give up on these projects and make some of the coolest things out there. Keep up the great work!
I love watching you work your magic! Great video! I'm not sure where you learned how to do that, but your fabrication and video making skills are top-notch!
Brilliant use of our English language, really enjoyed this video. Now I will have to look at your other ones!
These video`s are awesome for someone like me who hasn`t got all the tools but uses whats at hand to improvise and overcome hurdles, GOOD work mate :)
I love your videos, I am learning a lot to work on my own old bikes.
Your videos are funny, yet very inspirational! You are doing a great job! I am not mechanical to save my life, but I am actually learning from you! Thank you, and stay just the way you are! Awesome!
Your son saved you having to give your neighbor 3 beers by sliding that engine bolt through the frame. Excellent!
Love watching your video's, all very informative and so interesting and with a bit of humour thrown in too.
Bringing dead bikes back to life is a big thrill for me as well.
Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks a lot for sharing your ingenuity and skill. Your upbeat personality and sense of humor is awesome.
I gather that you've made some sacrifices to spend time with your family, and it's touching to see your little boy in the garage with you, and your patience and tenderness will give him so many advantages.
Great videos, sir!
Thank you. I have made some life choices that are a little unconventional, but I don't think of them as sacrifices. Every decision involves benefits and compromises. I feel like the ones I've made have a lot more positive aspects than negative ones, so I think I'm doing ok.
@@jenniesgarage Just discovered your channel.. was considering the ATC125 for my ct. It's now been 7 yrs, probably long gone but any thoughts about the upgrade.. I'm on the fence.. was it a worthwhile swap, or would you recommend rebuilding the 90.. 🤔
“Impact is experienced”
Quote of the century
you and your wife have gotten me hooked on your channel, you seem like awesome folks
your helper is absolutely the best
Great fabrication and very good job figuring out all the wiring.
You are a vintage bike wizard! You put the pro in improvise! Thanks for the tips
dude, you are a wizard! I love watching your videos. I learn a lot and enjoy how pragmatic you are.
I like how he lets his son to help him. Not so long ago kids used to learn to appreciate their parents skill be helping them and seeing their competence ... most kids these days don't even know how their parents make money ...
Thank goodness for your little helper. It made it a lot easier to get that engine mounted with his help. Reminds me of when I was his age and help my Dad work on his boat. Such great memories.
Yes! It would've been much harder without the extra (little) hand to put in that bolt.
I was actually thinking about doing this same thing. I have a Trail 90, bad engine, and a few ATC 125's, but man, after watching this, I think I'll stick to getting my barn find 350X to run. Lot of work brother, but came about AMAZING! Your perseverance is contagious!
One of the best Videochannels on RUclips. Not just because of the specific engineering content but because this is a future time capsule in 50 years: Look at that son, we used to understand our tools and equipment !
incredible channel. love this trail 90 project. i inherited a 65 ct90 just got it running today. works nicely. keep tinkering! cant wait to see the next vid
I once took an ATC110 (105cc) auto clutch and built a 185cc 12.5 compression bored and stroked Manual clutch monster, I bought a rear suspended frame, some triple clamps and made a really cool fully suspended ATC when they did not exist (early 1080's) I added a CT110 clutch and kickstarter. (lol u had to pull off the rear fender to kickstart). I love these old Hondas
This channel really is like education for me and I love watching all your videos!
I love how the eBay parts magically appear!! "This very old, very specific part is broken, but luckily I found a replacement on eBay for $.25!" haha
I need more of these videos. I love what you do.
Thank you!
You have a great assistant.........he is indispensable!
love the vids man. i got a 1979 ct90 handed down to me from my grandfather going for my motorcycle permit in 2 weeks cant wait to get it insured and on the road! I have a decent amount of experience riding in the dirt but i have never road a motorcycle on the road ct90 seems like a nice bike to start out on
i absolutely love your videos, im 15 and i recently just switched the cylinders of two motorcycles just because i love this stuff
Love how he made them brackets, they made the machine look so good
found your videos today, haven't stopped watching since.. its been hours.. this is great
Just found this Channel and I'm kind of mad at myself for not finding it sooner LOL but great video man I recently just purchased a 1969 Honda cd175 that I'm very excited to take on some off-road Adventures I like your video because you showed people how to reuse old parts that you had laying around and you gave me quite a few ideas for my bike as well thanks again
Only half way through the video and I love it already!
Very impressive! You make me feel I could engine swap a small block Chevy onto a moped with the way you make it look easy!
Great fab skills! Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing
This one was edited perfectly! Love it!
Great video and what a good engineer you are. Nice to see someone resurrecting the old Hondas. I bought a brand new 1965 CB160 while stationed in Hawaii in the USN. I drove that baby 28,000 miles on the island of Oahu and then had it shipped to Seattle where I picked it up after discharge. I then drove it to San Diego, across the deserts of the American West, and home to Ohio. That bike performed flawlessly and even got me up Pike's Peak (with some leaner carb jets). It was the trip of a lifetime and to this day I still buy Honda bikes, mowers, generators, and cars. Not one has disappointed.
I’ve got a trail 90 right now and I would love to buy your Motor 😂
And I love the fact that you did this with basic tools instead of some high-tech dude who has every single tool in his garage
Those old 90 engines was amazing just had one flaw the battery ,fuse and wiring. It would not run off its own magneto I remember having to use foil to wrap the fuse stuck miles out in the woods. The 70, 90 and 110 all had this problem wiring harnesses in many cases had to be replaced. I will finish the series this 125 may have a better electrics system fixing that flaw. All these old honda engines was amazing my old honda 50 still runs had it for 30 years. As a kid would run it out of oil put more in watch it steam and then it would fire up again! never let an 8 year maintain a bike lol A top end rebuild and it still runs like new any of these old engines is worth their weight in gold for any project.
What a great video.
You obviously (make it look as if) you really know what you are doing.
And you don't usually even buy new tools or parts!
I wish I had garage space like that to do stuff like that.
I was an apprentice mechanic in 1990, and did a few very simple engineering style jobs after that, but I have not retained the skills or confidence. I would be calling people every two minutes and asking how best to do such and such.
Anyway, you made a great video, thanks.
Oh, and your video editing skills are good, too.
Little mechanic deserve a raise.
Great little helper..your a heck of a mechanic..
That was a lot of work. I hope it was worth it. But you did great. Thank You Loader.
Thank you for your humor and aggressive editing style that allows me to complete my wing-dings and pizza in one sitting of scooter-power ramroddery.
the custom brackets are awesome! Worth the extra work for sure.
Nice job! 👍 my first bike was a ST90 thanks for the memories!
Love your videos, your family is just absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing this I'm excited to see more videos.
Dam Cliff Hanger!! I was wondering when you were going to upload again, I Really Enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. I didn't want it to end that way, I really wanted to wrap it up. Sometimes stuff happens though!
Jennies Garage when is the next video
One thing you need to know Although not legally required when made a retrospective law says that if it came with Indicators then they must be fitted and working to pass the MOT? So you cannot make it road legal without them.
Iseekoutthetruth same
Thank
just stumbled across your video and i like your style. easy to watch.
You never cease to amaze me, great job.
Smart. Very Smart! This dude has some serious knowledge and skills.
Nice videos, got the details I like at a good pace and you keep it entertaining. NOICE!
Making me more confident in my desire to build a bike.
liking before watching because I know it'll be a good video
That's the way to beat the mysterious RUclips 10% like-ratio
You're a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you.
Nice job of explaining and showing what you are doing. This video was very interesting and informative.
Excellent video! Reminds me a lot of me when I was much younger.
This man is an electrical genius. I would love to learn from him.
Your so clean with your work I love it
absolutely love the valve spring compressor, brilliant
I actually really liked the look of the ATC exhaust on there.
Loved every second of this video.
Can't wait to see that beast on the road.
Amazing work Jake!
that atc exhaust did have an interesting look. But I think it was a matter of pride for me to make my custom pipe work. Glad you liked it.
Great so much better than watching commercialised programs hopefully u get picked up by non commercial tv and keep making same quality videos
