NOooooooooooooooo ><
I have sold my soul to the world's evilest motorcycle manufacture XD

No, I just started news paper delivering job in the morning and using the Press Cub 50.

It's not bad bike. I'm amazed how it can carry so many loads!

Also my uncle have TLM50 in pic below. It doesnt start offcourse but it is a good restore base and theres enough parts still around.

Then he also have limited edition red cub 50 as well and it needs new tyre and battery.
It's not this but kinda look like this one.

So seems like the first private bike in Japan gonna be a Honda bike.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo XD

:p just jokes you all Honda riders. They make good bikes ^^

Nice!!! I like the Press Cubs, I wish there were some over here --- they have a much-uprated front drum brake compared to the normal Super Cubs. Also the additional headlight is kind of cool.

Altho I really wanna quit this job as soon as I get full time job, it's not worth doing except that you can ride everyday.

You can do something that the Vino cannot do (easily) -- massive wheelies!

Of course it depends on if you've got that front basket loaded up with newspapers probably, but it's worth a try nonetheless.

Do you have the 1-N-2-3 gearbox? If so, easy. In 1st gear, press back on the shifter (as though you were trying to shift down another gear). This disengages the clutch. Rev the bastard out, lift your foot off the shifter, off you go :D

If you have the N-1-2-3 gearbox I'm not quite sure. I think you can disengage the clutch but not shift gears if you just press gently on the shifter.

Nop, it's a "custom" model (There are standard, delux and custom) so it has N-1-2-3-"4" :p

Still it can do wheelies, just hold the rev at N and throw it to 1st.
But I haven't tried yet coz I don't know when the crutch will gone XD


Not your fault man, those Vinos are fucking beasts. I should know, I have one :lol:

Meh but 4st models should be slower than this Cub XD

82 model ^^
This one is before manufactures did 60kmh restriction so it can go up to 75kmph! :p

I went to unexpected off road touring this morning and it goes anywhere!
Japanese off road are mainly mud and rocks. There are just millions of rocks about 15x15x15 and over. But still cub continues to go!

I really really amazed how tough the cub is.

Finally I rode down this junk TLM50 from my uncles shed on top of the mountain to the shed at bottom ^^

Took us while to bring this down but luckily tyre tube still works so tyre did pump up.

Heres the pics and carb I took out.
Would this be cleaner after soaking on carb cleaner with petrol for couple days??

motorbyclist
11th August 2009, 10:50
yep - get in there with the carby cleaner and compressed air if you have it. Be sure to unblock all the passageways and jets.

also, what's wrong with the forks? looks like a seal has come off and gone half way up the tube!


that bike looks AWESOME btw

Yea the fork seals came off to don't know whats it like inside until I open the thing up.

I'll start with Carb and see if engine starts after clean carb.

This cub can't go offroad, previous owner also stiffened it's suspension XD

My red cub can follow your CT90 in most of offroad tho hehehe

Do it!
But I don't know where previous owner got this pipe.
And bike shop I use in Japan don't know what it is either...

We are assuming it's exhaust for Honda Monkey50 or Ape50
