Tommy, I am approaching my 71st and, since I ended up in hospital last January,I managed to get out & enjoy the Tracer and the Honda C90(actual 110cc)last summer/autumn.
When the time comes,which it will, I shall be sad to see the Tracer go but will keep the C90 as it is hardly heavier than an old fashioned bicycle.
I have a friend who until a few years ago rode some big powerful machines but failing health and stamina have taken their toll but he still enjoys riding his monkey bikes and old British autocycles. Think hard before getting rid of the cub it isnt much to tax & MOT. Good luck whatever you decide!

Hey Dave,
What did you do to your C90 to up the cc to 110? did you fit one of the Korean barrel and piston kits? How did it go and what was the quality like.
(Heard tales some of them are crap quality)
My next job to get the Chicken Chaser re-bored.


I have a biker that has shown some interested in the FZS600 and is coming to look at it in a couple of days. Mrs thinks I am mad for trying to sell it, but there comes a time for all things, I will be sad to see it go, just hope that whoever buys it looks after it, like I do/did.


Be interested in knowing about your C 90 upgrade to 110 cc, and what difference to performance did it make.


My C 90 is the Economy Cub, I believe it is lower geared than some cubs as it is set up for city riding, quicker of the mark from lights and junctions but lower top speed, so I might up the gearing by two more notches on the front sprocket.

Hi Tommy,
Sorry for not replying sooner-have been away for a while(no, not a mental health facility!)
I bought the C90-G from a dealer 2 years ago-low mileage and VGC. Took it to IOM summer 2017 and didnt like the 3 speed semi-auto gearbox (particularly when trying to get round the Ramsey Hairpin! :eek ) Autumn time I decided to strip bike and treat any frame corrosion etc. Bought a Lifan 110cc 4 speed manual clutch engine complete with carb and ancillaries from Pit Bike Spares for £173. The bike runs well with the original Honda Keihin carb and although not much quicker has better torque and almost identical fuel economy. Went back for 2018 Manx GP in late August 2018 and the bike was faultless.
I belong to the C90 forum: C90 Club.co.uk -a very helpful & friendly bunch-glad you are keeping the cub!

Hey Dave, Thanks for your reply.
I have just reactivated my Account with 'C90 Club.co.uk' I will get to know the site and learn my way around the processes.

Yeah Fazer being picked up tomorrow and off to a new home. will really miss the FZS600 but everything has a season.

Looking forward to summer now with the C90 in my arsenal, have also decided to hang on to the SLK Kompressor, that will be my 'quick' fix from now on.
I have now diminished by garage by two vehicle so that should make life a little easier/cheaper.

Dave do you think that your C90 runs good on the original Keihin C90 carbatooter? And you feel it is not running lean at all?
think I might go a similar way was thinking about the 4 speed semi auto engine, what is the main advantage do you feel with the manual lump and was it reasonably easy to sort out a clutch cable and fine a suitable route for it without it looking a hash-up?
Cheers appreciate your input.
Tommy.
PS: Is this the foccing C90 Owners Club Now? LOL!
I promise I will not ask anymore C90 questions,
NOOoooooo hang about this is my post, I could post in 'Whatever else you got' post couldn't I.   

[tommyardin]

Well the new owner rode off today on 'HIS' Fazer FZS 600.  :'( :'( :'(


The good thing is I just know he will love it and pamper it just as much as I did, it has gone to a good home. 


Now in the summer it is going to take me 45 minutes to get to the boatyard on my Honda C90, flat out, instead of 25 minutes on the Fazer, and that is taking it leisurely.  :lol

I'm sure the C90 will fit on the passenger seat of your Barbie Merc ? that'll solve the speed issue haha

[cl1ve2004]

Having decide to twat a Lucozade lorry head on last April on my 1000 :'( , and sworn I'd not own a bike again :'(  I decided to look at Toms' Fazer


last week...soooooo glad I did, and am now the proud new owner of Toms' pride and joy.


Rode her back to my yard  (105 miles from Toms') brilliant !! Planted ,thanks to reworked suspenders and plenty of beans..


Rode from Toms' pad, and the first 5 yards you'd think I'd never been on a pushbike let alone a motorbike !! :rollin


A massive thank you to both Tom and his wife for their hospitality, and I know Tom is gutted to sell his Fazer but she has gone to a good home, so worry


not Tom she's come to a good home, and I'll keep you updated about her :faz ..

Cheers Clive,
You know when you first meet someone that they are the sort of guy that values things, so I have no doubt that it will be treated in the manner that it has become accustomed to.
I wish both you and your FZS well, lot of touring and a bit of ragging. Lovely Jubbly  :lol
