1980mx100

That's a really cool bike though! Wow

Well the bike cools now. In third gear I can still get the tire of the ground after shifting. And I've been riding it for three years and I haven't had a problem with it. I may just get the dt hub because I'm planning on getting new rims and spokes. I'm see spending 500 tops on it an i got the bike for free so it's a good deal. And I've ridden it in town early one morning on the street and it was the greatest experience of my life. The sound of the motor echoing off the houses was just phenomanal!! I'd like to live that every day basically. And I dont care if it Can't reach 100 (it can though) because I hardly go 90 ever in my truck.

Crap I wish!!!! Those look amazing!!! But they don't have a 16" for my rear D':

Ok I found some and it fits vintage Suzuki Yamaha and Kawasaki. Sounds about right. The only dual purpose tire that fits the bike is by shinko. Does any one have any experience with those tires? Or are there more dual purpose that I don't know about? Where would I get those tires? Or do I just order off the internet

would any rim that is 18" with 36 spokes work?

yeah its digital. I wanna buy new rims but on ebay (main parts supplier) they don't have rims for the year 1980 just 1974-75. is there a difference?

and also the speedo is a 12 volt which poses a problem on my 6 volt bike. but cant the generator put out more voltage? i think if i just get a small small small small 12v battery with one of those voltage regulators i could pull of having a 12 volt speedo correct? and the larger main jet kit is on its way.

so in alberta it can be insured as long as it passes inspection. I would like to get some new rims for it. on ebay i can only find ones that fit 74-75 but the look the same and have the same amount of spokes and the rim size is not included of course. Is there any real difference between the 1975 and the 1980? if its different is there any where i can buy a rim? and what is it like to respoke?

I have the strangest feeling that the ministry of transportation and I aren't going to be really good friends :/

Ok so I did find one. It's digital and it has a built in tach for 2 strokes. It says for disk brake application? Is that just another way of saying magnet type? Do I really have to have a disk brake?

So I've been searching and I can't tell if the speedometers are magnet type or not

Sweet! Where can I get those?

No I want to buy one. I found some on eBay that are resonably priced but I'm not sure how I would install them

Will that be the same for a 1980 mx 100?

So i found out that the speedo and tach are gear driven? Gear driven off of what?

And if you wanna see my bike look up Yamaha - kicking it old school on Facebook. I just made a new page and feel free to add picks if your bikes too

Hey guys, So I'm trying to make my old mx 100 street legal. So far I've made it so it can get up to speed by installing boyesen power reeds and a performance filter. I do need to get a larger jet for it soon as it is running to lean so it's parked for now. I've been looking to get and install a speedometer and a tachometer, but I do not know how to install those. Please help.
