Quick tip for removing the side mouldings. On the inside you can push down on the tabs that stick in on the top of the moulding. Stops you from needing to worry about snapping it. Also, just got my reproduction manual from you, thanks a lot for supporting the Motocompo community.

[@ricky1022]

i grab it on the front and with alittle upward pressure localized on the clips, unclip just the bottom tabs then slide it out. mines custom painted and so far that technique has stopped paint damage

[@watsom31]

I was about to say the exact same thing 😆 even got the manual as well

[@tofu042]

Where can I get the Manual?

Nice👍🏻 Second best vehicle BCW has worked on, behind the Sigma. Where’s the Sigma Ben? ☹️

Coming back very soon :D

Great! All you need as a Honda City Turbo, and but the motocompo in the back.

Love these little things! 😎👏🏻

Great video as always Benny! Love seeing those little Motocompo's, always a good bit of fun! Keep up the great work as always!

Great work. Thanks mate.

I want that Compo! 😍

[@Theone817]

That’s gold Benny…I did the same thing with the front rim on my GT mountain bike the other weekend I’d pull the front brakes on and watch it crazy wobble thinking my hub bearings were shot low and behold the quick release axle nut was loose 🤦🏻

I just bought one of these compy's in the states, and you really helped craft a list of things I should do to have piece of mind when it comes so I know its working. Great video mate, subscribed for sure.

Funny enough I was looking at these recently, then a Honda City Turbo 2 was for sale on Car and Classic but without the Motocompo. I think they're both so cool!

[@big35078]

Awesome Benny you know I’m a sucker for a mini bike

First time caller, long time listener. First of all, love your work. Enjoyed you knowledge and sense of humour since the MCM days. Second, when bringing a new sponsor on board, what does their product do. I know gaskets'n'stufff but if you have not watched those episodes or tuned out ...

[@BennysCustomWorks]

We’ll be going into more detail on permatex products in the future :)

[@notold37]

Love these little bikes, always like learning about them, whats the speed of the motocompo, and do you need a licence for them, awesome video Benny

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Depends on the state. In nsw you need a motorbike license, they go approx 40 km/h standard. Mine was modified and clicked about 50 km/h

[@playwme3]

Has he got a City to put it in? I’ve got one in Canberra if he has plenty of cash. ;)

Great video! I sure wish you could buy a new Honda Motocompo

[@chipoplouss]

Man I want one of these to fit in the back of my jimny

[@ThePonkster]

In my experience you are better disabling the auto lube function on these small two stroke motors and premixing in the tank - when the auto lube system blocks and fails (and they do regularly) the first you know of it is when the piston seizes and eats itself. With older bikes as the parts get rare this simple method of premixing will ensure you always get the right oil/fuel ratios and don't have to scour the earth for new engine parts.

[@ricky1022]

no ones makes a oil pump delete for these motors, the pump is lubed with oil so no oil will kill kill the pump and hurts value of bike

[@bingysbackyard]

I was going to comment and say I have used the 7.2 nicads on my ct90 that needs a battery to run and they work and lights work also... they are slim enough to cable tie almost anywhere on the bike and they are easy to charge too... but I only have the 500mah charger so needs a 8 hour charge...lol

[@pngailanboi]

Similar motor to my 1982 and 1983 Honda Express NC50s

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Yes very similar. I tried to fit an express II engine but the final drive/ top gear was actually shorter than the motocompo

[@samsonian]

@11:55 Like a bear riding a tricycle… 😜😅🤣🤣🤣 🖖😎👍

[@watsom31]

Have you got a link to the oil please

[@HazeyAuto]

Has it still got the original main jet in it? I know with Postie bikes adding an aftermarket filter/intake requires going up a jet size as there is a massive restriction in the factory intake. I imagine these have one as well to keep noise down.

[@sleepy3968]

Timely vid, im hoping my motocompo arrives this week and ill be needing to give it a good service. Do you have any service manuals left Benny?

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Hey mate I have a few left, shoot me a message on bcw insta or fb and I’ll get you sorted.

[@tofu042]

I bought mine yesterday, after searching for some years. Happy af :) Hope you received yours!

Such great little bikes. My mum had a Honda City, I think they went in the back or something like that?

[@geordiegibson1210]

Random question @Benny's Custom Works, at 10:01 you give us a precise measurement for the gearbox capacity of 500 millimetres, which is good info. But at what width and height do you pour that 500 millimetres? I'm just wondering if it's at a nominal 10mm wide and half a mm high?

[@5UPRAH]

I picked up on that. I think you measure 500mm from the ground?

[@bjarnesrensen7408]

I´m pretty sure that Benny says 500 mililitres.

[@ricky1022]

@@bjarnesrensen7408 essentially just fill it up and when the bike is level any excess will spill out the fill hole

[@bjarnesrensen7408]

@@ricky1022 that´s also how I use to do when I change the oil on my Puch Maxi´s.

[@sokoloft3]

You said something about RC batteries. I'm curious as to if you could build one with AA NiCad batteries. They're 1.2v each fully charged. So 5 would give you your 6v. I've seen people make 18650 cells but those are lithium and I don't think would work for this. But the building the cell would be somewhat similar and less volatile. I've seen people make a spot welder out of an ignition coil and a motor cycle battery and relay. Would need nickel strips and could make your own battery I'd think. Maybe I'm missing something though.

[@mg74xbgt]

There is a pretty shagged one on marketplace for 4k.......crikey !!

[@dahlmasen3084]

I think the security cable is for a helmet?

[@Naes755]

In terms of batteries, I wonder if an emergency light battery will fit? Never played eyes on a motorcompo but I know a lot of those batteries are 6v rechargeable?

[@BennysCustomWorks]

I think that is the ones people were using,

What is the current value of a Motocompo today? I have the opportunity to buy one thats is on "ok" nick but he is asking for ~7600USD/7000€ for it. But as far as i can see most goes for 4-5k atm or am i wrong??

[@BennysCustomWorks]

They’re about $6-7000 AUD here so probably pretty similar
