Re: Headlights and turn signals suddenly don’t work

I know nothing about your specific model.
My first thought is this: the switching for both items is on the same control handle.
Maybe a fault there.
Second: yes, ground wire faults will cause all sorts of issues. usually very weird.
Good luck friend...motor

Please add a LINK to those tires...we can take a look.
I have serious doubts they would work.

Re: 1987 Honda Spree idles then dies, difficult restart

You didn't mention petcock. Your issue is probably slow fuel delivery. Petcock can be the culprit. Try taking vacuum hose off at the carb and sucking on it to see if fuel is flowing strongly or not. Also, try this...run it until it dies, then open the drain screw on the float bowl to see if any fue...

No info available as far as I know.
You are in the region of untested waters.
Plenty of engine swaps have been done,
but your particular situation and model are not known in the USA.

Consider this:...my value is just an opinion. Fully optioned with 3-500 miles, and in pristine condition is likely to bring $5000 or more in a big auction setting. Always you'll expect premium money on the coasts, less in the interior. In these times of exploded values, small bore motorcycles have ...

Re: Official NS50F thread

Hello, new member here with a question on the NS50F. I’m looking to purchase one and was wondering if anyone can help me with what’s a good price to pay for one?

Having NO IDEA where you are "broskies" but since the USA was never a market that saw the Eve Smile and Eve Pax, it is impossible for me to give you a valid answer. I would have to assume the same as you, they are all "NQ50", so the base platform must be same. Still, I wouldn't ...
