just found my old XR100 from my childhood, this bike was neglected and flogged my me as a kid and then stored in a shed, forgotten... i found it covered in dust and half stripped, so i finished taking her apart and cleaned/unblocked the carbie and tested the spark plug... yep, spark plug still worked... carbie was now unblocked, and the engine still cranked...... i had my main 4 ingredients ; air, fuel, spark, and a moving piston..... how could i resist?? once i had the pipe and carbie back on i rigged up a makeshift fuel supply and once that float bowl filled and the choke on.... the old Honda burst into life after 13 years of hard storage!!
i did kiff, there was actually none in there, adding further wonder to how the hell she didnt seize over years of rot
Must have been a omen seeing this thread, I picked up the young fella a CRF100, its 6 months old and I got it for an absolute bargain
My young fella paid $2200, it's a 2013 model with about 10 hours of use Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
i just sold my 1997 model XR100R for $700 to a bloke who is a bike re-birther.... he totally agreed with me that Hondas have always been gold, and you know what, that CRF100 engine/carb config looks identical to the 97 models, why evolve something that's already proven and perfect? great dirt bikes
here's how my old bike looked when i sold her recently... was a mission finding all it's plastics etc that had been lost in sheds and 13 years of no running time... poor old bike...was sold on Gumtree within 2 days
