pt 2, Honda Trail 90 Sitting 37 years, fixing the rotted exhaust for free.

I picked this 1977 honda trail 90 2 years ago, on pt 1 we got it running, in part 2 we look into why none of the lights work and what we can do to save the rotted out exhaust,

[@mustie1]

well youtube did not want to wait until sunday morning to publish this so l guess you get to see it 12 hours early, enjoy guys, see ya on the next one,

[@edwardgoodsmith1069]

I learned how to ride motorcycles on my Dad's yellow Trail 90, I think it was a '70. I was 13. It had the larger trail sprocket you could change out with the standard street one for off road and it would climb like a mountain goat and go through about anything. My sister still has it. RIP Dad and thanks for the great memories.

So much fun to watch. Thank you. Back in 1965 when I was 11-years old growing up in Anchorage, Alaska several of my 13 year-old classmates rode Honda 50's and Honda 90's ten to fifteen miles to school. In those days Alaska was still a bit wild and having a license was not always a requirement. For example, after a good snow we used to ride our snowmobiles on downtown Anchorage city streets. Today than only be ridden in designated areas far outside the city. Getting my first ride on a Honda was a thrill never to be forgotten. A few years later when I was 14 we moved to Southern California and I convinced my Dad to buy one. It was a 1966 Honda Trail 90, a couple years earlier than your yellow parts bike. Unlike the later red one in your video that used a hi/low switch to change gearing, mine required two different rear wheel sprockets. The only way to go hi or low was to manually take the back tire and chain off and then change the sprocket which was very time consuming. Since I was a kid, I rode that pour little Trail 90 like a moto-cross bike. It responded as expected and I was fixing it as much as riding it. I rode it to high school each day and then work afterwords. Watching your videos brought it all back. Love your attention to detail. At nearly 70 years of age I'm still learning. I've got an old 1950's Cushman scooter that is going to be my next project. After watching how you do it I will have your experience looking over my shoulder. Thanks again.

[@adamwenz8761]

I have a 1976 CT90 very much like this one that I have had since I was a kid. Hearing the motor run on your previous video brought back a lot of great childhood memories. Thanks for bringing us along on the adventure! EDIT: Now I have the need to go ride my CT90 for a while...

[@johnstrange6799]

I had one as a kid too, and that sound totally hits the memories button. These bikes were so much fun. I got mine in the winter, and had a blast in the snow. :)

[@triumphmanful]

Me too, my first bike !

[@davidbrennan5]

I had one when I was younger, I took it places that you can't really take most bikes, like through swamps. I climbed some pretty crazy mountains with it in low range. The best part was the 80+ mile per gallon fuel economy. I bet there was 6000 hrs on that thing when I sold it.

Dude, I don't even DO engines, (i'm happier with angry pixies) ... but your channel is therapeutic. Fixing s**t that once went wrong... is an awesome thing. And with you on the good way of getting rid of cobwebs. I've used a torch on an older electrical distribution panel area (here in the UK meter, main fuse, panel, and 300 years worth of wiring* are usually in the same harry potter suite under the stairs) just to see what's going on. Subject to a risk assessment ;) *some exaggeration may be present. Most of our electrics is only 250 yrs old

Nice content again Mustie.. 👍 I've just started playing with my 1981 Honda CB250n Superdream again. Over the past few years I've given it all new control cables, seat cover, respray, headlight, fuel tap, shockers, fork seals, brake caliper, brake master cylinder, exhaust, chain and sprockets, ignition barrel, recon carbs, head de-coke, brake pads and shoes, rear tyre and a new battery. It runs like a charm. Another oil change this week and then it can go for a MOT. 👍 🇬🇧

Best videos yet that I have seen on fixt it stuff, make us feel like you are asking us about stuff!! love it!!

[@triumphmanful]

I remember when I bought my Red Honda Trail 90 it had a spark arrestor on the end of the muffler. That is why the end of the pipe is that shape . It was my first motorcycle. I worked for the local A&P part time after school. Saved my money and bought it new. My Father came home and saw it and said, NO , No , take it back. I said I can't I paid cash and the dealer said no returns. He finally gave in and said "If you get "A"s in school you can keep it. ! That never happened. I barely got "C"s. I kept it though. I still have 4 bikes in the garage, 55 years later !

[@paralyse78]

Mustie the Engine Whisperer never disappoints but I really shouldn't stay up until 3 AM all the time :P When I was a kid my dad and I were hiking the creek behind our house and found one of these half buried in silt on the bank. Of course, being maybe 5 years old I wanted to take it home and ride it but Dad wasn't having any of that, although he did let me take one of the front orange turn signal lights as a "souvenir." Lost it in a subsequent move somewhere (or Dad tossed it) but seeing the videos on this and the other Mini Trail makes me very nostalgic! (I need a "big adult sized" bike these days, more Road King than Trail 90, but boy, if I ever have kids...they'll be zooming around on a little Honda for sure.) I don't consider it a KZbin glitch, but a serendipitous act of good fortune for your subs! Regards from TX (where we are most definitely not having "bike weather" at the moment.)
