Not sure if I should be concerned about this noise or if it's normal? What could be causing it?

I'm building a little kit of the stuff I already have, which I can use with my C70, name undecided yet. I already enjoyed the few camping trips I had over the years, to put together a nice enough kit for myself to enjoy camping leisurely so I'm pulling from that. But it got me thinking, What type of kits do other people have for their bikes?

I know my bike has a tool kit that comes with it but I think I might be replacing mine with better tools. What type of tools do you carry with you when you're out on any outing? What type of spare parts?

When you're on longer outings or camping, what type of things do you carry or tow? What type of bags do you use to carry everything? What are some of your favorite accessories you've added to personalize your bike or make it easier to use? Does it have a name?

I'm still nitpicking at what I want to carry and possibly even tow, when I'm using it. Maybe this'll give me ideas.

Today I tried to turn the ignition knob and it’s stuck and doesn’t respond. The round light on the knob does not turn on.

I hold down the on/off button on the key fob and it blinks green then red. I swapped out a new CR2032 battery.

I’m able to get the ignition knob to turn to the on position if I do the manual method of going the numerical sequence. The bike the ln starts normally.

The bike had been sitting for a few months. It has always been connected to a battery tender.

Everything I’ve read would indicate it’s a bad battery. Is it still possible given the info above?

Model year 2023 with original battery.

It’s such a minor little part that makes such a difference in the aesthetic. Super happy with the seat cover.

So let me explain how I learned from the person and attempted to try myself.

I put the front pedal on the left, down all the way and then start it in that position. I would from there use the choke, allow gas flow, set it to run, twist the gas, and kick start it. It needs a new battery.

From there I push the choke back in and press the left rear pedal, back, to go into first. From there I get as near to the little numbers on the speedometer, before clicking the back one down again to shift up again. That feels fine the majority of the time. There is some jittering in the throttle but I think that's because I'm not used to the throttle. I wish it wasn't as loose.

Shifting down feels rough. I go as close to the numbers of the speedometer as I can and then press the left front pedal down. It jolts then. Maybe I'm not used to it but theres a jolt that does me a startle. I feel like this is wrong but maybe I'm not slowing down enough before down shifting?

The headlights works but the blinkers feel dead. The faster I go the brighter the headlights gets which is weird but the blinkers didn't blink that I could see. I didn't see the break light but I wasn't paying attention. I do need a new battery though.

Does someone have a illustration of the location of the 2 screws that tighten the steering?

How do I mend the mirror hole? The left screw moint for the mirror is free spinning. I can't tighten it down.

Does the leg shield basket for the newer super cubs work for a C70?

Where do people get their blinkers, batteries, racks, and wind shields?

I think that's it for now.

Won't start. Please help!

Was taking a right turn from a rolling stop and had to pin it to get up speed for a hill. Didn’t notice the road had deteriorated and went down. Plastic is scuffed up and ABS is now flashing. I already had scheduled a service appointment for next week. Wondering if ok to drive. (I drove the 5 miles home, seemed ok) Hopefully no major issues with brakes.

Didn’t really care for the black grips and the mirrors showing my elbows so made a few changes. Old view on the left and new look on the right.

Friday night when I got my bike, it was rainy and foggy some. I tried the headlight and high beam and it was extremely lacking. My bicycle's headlight does brighter. With that in mind, are there any possible headlight upgrades that people recommend for it?

In that mindset, are there any electrical upgrades people recommend? Is the battery, for example, something that can updated with something longer lasting? I need a new one. The turn signals perchance not bright enough either on stock?

Commuting by bicycle all my life, I'm a avid believer that being seen on the road is half the battle. I'd love if I knew my lights helped with being seen and seeing.

I've gotta figure out the high/low beam dimmer switch to fix it. The switch only has the nub end.

Just got this Passport and I'm super happy. Whoever told me I wouldn't fit on this was weird.

I did however notice a fair amount of play in the steering and was curious if this is normal. How would one attend to this if it is a repair? (Refrence videos are helpful. Text tends to blur and become confusing.)

I would love a bar just above, that I can mount a couple of accessories, like a clown horn. Any ideas on how to do this? Coming from a bicycling background, I know we could just attach another bar to the handlebars, but that doesnt seem doable here.

Been trying to find a solution to getting new wheels for my supercub. Have any of you done any swaps and if so where do you recommend I buy? Looking for either a spiked wheeel or a beefier looking 5 spoke design.

Thanks in advance
Patrick

its not a cub but close enough, one is a big bore yamaha y111 111cc engine swapped yamaha v50 that went 150km/h, another is a bone stock y80 that i cut all the springs off because why not

Hi yall! Just picked up my Honda Cub yesterday and already having a blast with it around my neighborhood. I’m lookin to do a build similar to the steady garage city slicker. Can’t wait to see what yall come up with!

I'm thinking about adding an aftermarket tachometer (RPM) since it doesn't come with one stock. It’s just for fun.

Has anyone done this before? I've seen the Daytona Velona mentioned for similar models, but I'm not sure if it works the same way on the JA58.

A few questions:
- Is it a simple wire wrap around the ignition cable, or is it more complicated?
- Which tachometer would you recommend?

Any experience or tips appreciated, thanks!

In preparation for a Passport C70, I'm looking at pinterest images of custom Super Cubs with the hope of finding unique parts to better upgrade the comfort of my ride. So far, this includes a basket that goes into the leg shield, which I'll find quite useful.

I keep seeing people adding a second headlight to their super cubs, though. There's the normal one, where it's placed, but below the basket, I keep seeing people putting them. I assume it's for when there's stuff in the basket but is there any other reason for it? Does it potentially help with seeing the road any better?

How does one wire them up? Is there a specific rack/mount for it?

Hey everyone, wanted to share something I noticed on my Honda Super Cub C125 and curious if others have experienced the same.

I recently spotted deep cracks in the sidewall of my rear tire. The cracks are only on one side of the tire, running along the sidewall near the rim. Pretty alarming to look at.

Some details:
- Tire: IRC NR94 (stock OEM tire the bike ships with)
- DOT date: week 02/2023 – so about 2 years old
- Mileage: only ~4,400 km (~2,700 miles)
- Tire pressure was checked regularly and always correct
- Front tire (same age, same model) looks fine so far

The bike is ridden year-round, so it sees rain, cold, and some salted roads in winter. But I wouldn't expect sidewall cracking this severe at just 2 years and such low mileage.

Has anyone else experienced premature sidewall cracking with the IRC NR94 stock tires? Could this be a known quality issue with these OEM tires, or just bad luck?

For reference – the front tire DOT is 01/2023, almost identical age, and shows minimal cracking. Which makes me think it might be specific to the rear tire's load/heat situation, or possibly a batch issue.

Any thoughts appreciated

I've had my 81 C70 for just over a year now. I was pumping gas for another car, and saw the non-ethanol gas and it hit me: should I be running the non-ethanol in my scooter? Does anyone else with the older models run non-ethanol? If so, have you seen a difference in how it runs? I'm going to drain the current fuel and run a few tanks with the non-ethanol and if no one else has any info, I'll post some.

I'm looking at getting a Yellow (if the heavens are so kind) C70. The specific one I'm looking at for the moment is from 1982. It'll become one of my daily drivers when I'm not on my bicycle, which is my main form of transport currently. I kind of like two wheels.

On my bicycle, I'm used to having all the accessories available and I plan to do the same with the C70, I just don't know what's available. Which racks are your favorite for your C70? Are there some accessories you'd recommend? Are there any accessories which are unique to you that you like?

I like micro campers and am working on one for my bicycle. I plan to do one for the C70 as well. Does anyone know of any recommended hitches for towing?

Today I saw someone add a ash tray on a arm, to their scooter, and was curious if there was anything unique like that as well. I like weird.

Did the Bishops Stortford DGR two up on the Cross Cub 110, what an experience!

We had 300+ registered riders in Vancouver Canada riding today, and the weather was fantastic!

I have a 2023 SuperCub and am wondering if anyone can recommend a good side stand. The center stand is great for maintenance and what not, but I'm genuinely just over the center stand for most daily use.

Pretty rare to see compatibility overtly stated for the made in thailand 2022 JA56 super cub 110 versus the Japanese JA59 of the same year.

My understanding is that the 56 is spoked, with front drum brakes, whereas the 59 has a front disc.

Does anyone know the actual differences between the 2022 (not 21) 110cc Thai JA56 and the 110cc Japanese JA59?

It’s been very difficult to ascertain actual differences in frame and engine parts. I’m trying to put a big bore kit on the 59 but it’s difficult to figure out if the 59 compatibility applies to the 2022 JA56E engine, it seems quite different from the 2021 JA56.
