Wouldn't I need two of these - one for each line coming out at the front of the tank or does it shut off both ends that are disconnected?

Sounds like a good thing to do. It should be a good first bike for him.

Yeah my bike doesn't want to shift when the bike isn't running but rocking it will put it into/ out of gear. On another note, the bike doesn't want to shift to fourth unless it's going fast enough or downshift to first during a stop unless it's going slow enough.

That sux Safetyjon! Better there than on the road in traffic I suppose. If you haven't replaced cables on these bikes, beware of NOS cables. They may be in as bad or worse shape than the original (ie-dry rotted, and/or chrome pitted). In the case of my replacement front brake cable the rubber boot ...

My '65's front tire looks to be an original for the bike Ohtsu with approximately a 5/8" whitewall unlike the gangster walls on the above '63. The narrower whitewalls also seem to be made out of unobtanium.

I haven't had the headlight on when testing and it still dies when riding around on my access road. I don't suspect fuel or spark issues because I can flood the engine trying to restart it and spark is good to the plugs with a fresh charge to the battery. Come to think of it, I started putting the ...

It runs it just dies after about 1/10 mi. I just ordered a battery from eBay. Batteries Plus and Honda show the CA95 model bike but no battery available. The guy at the Honda shop said the same thing that ByTheLake said in that it should run quite a while just on the battery. He said guys race bikes ...

I have not replaced the battery yet. My friend was telling me he replaced three before he found it was the rectifier. I was just riding it on my access road in Pos II and probably not even after a tenth of a mile later the idle went way down and would barely lope and pull the bike so I shut it off ...

Ok so it runs well off the charger at first then stumbles and dies. I talked to a buddy and he suspects the rectifier. That's fine because I ordered the new type from Oregon Cycles a while back. What I thought might be the rectifier aft of the air cleaner turned out to be the switch item#15. Went on ...

If you can get a picture of the the original speedo face Classic Instruments could make an exact copy. They can make any kind of face you want and update old units with newer internals.

CA95 won't start and/or stay running.

I changed the oil in my bike a few weeks ago and it ran great. I left the tank petcock open for a couple of hours after that and now it generally won't start. I replaced the sparkplugs but still most of what it does is pop, backfire and sometimes run but rough and won't stay running. When it runs is ...
