CL200: My baby is coming home

August 20th, 2009 by BT Leave a reply »

Well, no pictures tonight since I can’t seem to find the camera, but the side cover is coming along and is really turning out to be a good lesson for having patience…which is necessary with body work.

The good news is that the CL200 is coming back on Saturday.  The guy is another really great person to know and with his permission I’ll also give out his name.  Anyway, for just over $350 (including pickup and delivery) he said it’s running and riding well now.  Here’s what he did:

  • Install a new clutch cable and adjust the clutch – the clutch cable was just too short and causing all of my grief.
  • Acid wash the tank and remove all rust
  • rebuild the petcock
  • Install new ends on the battery terminals
  • Adjust the carbs
  • Change the oil
  • Install a new front brake cable and adjust the brake

I can’t wait to ride it!
