Yes, you can use the same inner tubes. The only difference is the tread pattern.

Don't even have to think twice on this one.....For the first, clean out the idle jet. If you crack the throttle and it runs, the idle jet is clogged.....NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. As for the second problem, start with checking the main jet size. Too large and you're running way too rich - no power. Too smal...

About the only 'problem' that I've come across concerning the oil pumps are the O rings failing and resulting in a leak. The hoses too, of course, but generally they are a very dependable device. Honda engineered this bike to be economical, dependable and fun. I don't think they missed the mark on a...

Perhaps there is a piece of foreign matter keeping the float needle from completely shutting off the fuel. Without a positive shutoff, the carb is going to allow fuel flow until the fuel hose empties. I had one bike that the needle wouldn't shut off completely along with a bad fuel shutoff valve. I ...

You will not notice ANY difference at that small amount of deviation.

Stick with a # 65 and you won't have a problem. I've gone 68 and it's still way too rich. 80 is hard to believe that it will even run. (Idle fine maybe but at 1/4 throttle or above, it's really getting juiced).

You're going to find that a #68 is too large also. #65 is what you want........

Yes, it's bad if you double the gaskets.
Remove the old one, then install new. It really isn't that hard.
You're going to have leaks if you don't.

The gasket is necessary. Both the head gasket and the cylinder gasket. Without it, the case is going to suck vacuum. A gasket scraper always works for the cylinder gasket. Make sure you stuff a rag around the rod and keep anymaterial from going into the case. As for the bottom of the cylinder, I alw...
