I love it. I used to live in Pollock Pines right by the dam entrance on the California side. I was 14 and 15 when I lived there and later I went back and ran the Rubicon in my 4 x 4 but that’s one of my favorite places in the country.

Just rescued an 81 ct110 that’s been sitting the last 5 or 6 years behind a shed. Best $200 I’ve spent this year. Cant wait to get it going again. It has a title so it’ll be on the road soon enough.

I put 17,000 trouble free miles on a CT 110. Sierras, Siskiyous, Klamath mtns and Cascades. Other than tires, batteries, plugs, one chain, it never let me down. Fine little motorized mule.

I chose the ct90 instead of the 110. HP about the same. Some 110 are missing hi-low and I think none have a rear brake lever on the left handlebar. YMMV!

As much as I love CT bikes, you should try and add a Suzuki RV90 to your group, lousy on the road but a joy over the Rocky muddy spots on the trail. Conditions like that are rough on the CT, but easy on the RV. If you get the chance, try one, you'll like it on the trail (not so much on the pavement, but it is road legal). It was Suzuki's answer to the CT90.

The CRF250L is 24 hp. You could probably get 20hp out of a 125, but if you want it durable, and with longer maintenance intervals, it can’t be that highly tuned.

That's why they were originally made with left rear hand brake. Thank Ralph Nader for that removal. I'm installing them on both of my 110 s
@263093 жыл бұрын
On the engine swap with the ATC125 engine builds that I've done, I added the left rear brake back on. I do have to say, the cabling is such that it doesn't work all the great. It is hard to get real hard braking action with it.

Was 1st gear low enough to avoid slipping the clutch on steep and or muddy bits.
@kenfreeze3564 жыл бұрын
I don't recall the clutch ever slipping. We were at high altitude and we had not switched out the jets in the carbs, so the bikes were a bit under powered. So using the LOW gears was necessary. In LOW the bikes ran great. There was only one point, at near the very top of the ride (it was about 8500 feet) that was VERY steep and rocky where we had a problem, power wise, If we had hit it faster I'm sure the bikes would of made it, but we all stalled and had to get off and push the bikes (in gear engine running) up about 20 feet of very steep hill.

From about 6,500 to 8,000 feet where it is snowing. We did not change out the needle valves in the carbs. So the bikes were a bit under-powered.

We actually had three GoPros. One on a helmet and one mounted on the back, looking backward. Those two failed to work properly. Some of the video taken at the beginning and end was taken with an IPhone 6. So 98-percent of what you see if from a chest mounted GoPro3+

The new 125s are a joke, no low range, that's what set the ct's aside from all the other trail bikes. People hace bought the new 125's being very disappointed in the ar we selling them and buying three and four for the s as me money and having one for every family member.

I have to agree. It is a pretty bike. But I think it will become the modern-day 1980 CT110.
