Honda ATC tech info
Honda ATC description
This is a 1983 Honda ATC 70 that is in good running condition and is mostly original Honda from top to bottom. It is a 4-speed with centrifugal clutch (no clutch lever, just 4-down on the foot lever) I have had it since 2009.
Here are the details: I bought in 2009 it as a non-running machine in need of TLC, top to bottom cleaning and some parts. It was a gift for my children that year, they had many fun times on it but have now outgrown it. I replaced the following right after getting this ATC 70 in order to get it road worthy:
It does not have an odometer so no idea on mileage, particularly because it wasn't mine till 2009. Mileage with my kids is less than 200 miles. Always stored in a garage while I owned it. I changed the oil every year and kept the tank full of gas all winter to minimize rust but drained the carburetor. Each spring it started right up. There is small puff of smoke on cold startup but not when running. Always allow warm up for a few minutes with these small air-cooled engines for best results and long engine life! Chain was kept lubed and is not rusty. Brakes work well. It does not leak gas or oil. The tank is original steel. It has very light surface rust inside. I installed an inline fuel filter to prevent particles getting into the carburetor and have never had a problem. There is a governor screw on the accelerator to make sure kids cannot go full throttle until they are ready, this was a handy feature that I used. It can move pretty quickly at full throttle, so safety is an important consideration when the little ones are figuring it out. This is a fun little machine, rock solid Honda quality. They don't make them like this anymore :-( Thanks for looking. Arranging shipping is buyer's responsibility. Pick-up is also fine, but please work with me on that as I work a lot. |

Honda is recalling over 20,000 Shadows in the US
Fri, 29 Jan 2016Honda is recalling 22,142 motorcycles from shipments produced between 2010 and 2016. The reason was the vibration from the engine, which over time leads to chafing of the fall sensor wire in the common harness. Dealers promise to move the wire to another location and replace the sensor free of charge.
Motorcycles at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show
Mon, 28 Sep 2009Two weeks ago, I took a break from my regular duties gathering news for Motorcycle.com to fly to Germany to cover the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show for our sister site AutoGuide.com. For two hectic days, AutoGuide editor Colum Wood and I scrambled across the massive 6.2 million square foot Messe Frankfurt trade fair compound, running from press conference to press conference to get the latest on exotic sport cars, futuristic concept models and international unveilings from the automotive world. It was heaven for car lovers, but for me, it meant fighting my way through hordes of photogs, auto-journalists and car show models to get the first photos of four-wheeled goodies from MINI, Ferrari and Lotus.
