Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

I just reacently bought this bike from my friend and it had been sitting for a while and have no clue what yr it is.i have narrowed it down to a 76-77 from pics I've seen of the internet and I have the VIN but no clue who wouuld know to give me a year mr175-1007192 that is on the side of handle bar and mr175E-1007254 is on the engine. also I dont have a clue what the mixture is I currently have it at a 30 to 1 ratio of mobile 1 fully synthetic 2-cycle oil but I still feel it runs rich. also I need to get a new clutch and throttle cable if any one has one for sale PLZ email me about it also I need a intake monifold (the part that goes from the carb. to the engine) b/c mine is dry rotted. if any one could help me it would be greatly appreciated thanx

There is an intake on Ebay right now that looks like it might fit for $10 if you can get to it in the next 15 hours.... Ebay...motorcycle...honda elsinore

On our MR175 the year is on the steering colum part of the frame behind the headlight. We use Belray synthetic at 37:1. Honda dealers in my area (southern Ontario) wont give me the time of day because theres no money in old bikes but I found a Suzuki dealer that was willing to help. Ebay is also good for used parts.Try looking at past posts to see how to fix your intake. good luck.

I am not selling any parts but i had gotten a 1974Mt 250 through a friend of mine and it needed all kinds of new parts. I just went to my nearest honda dealer and they found the parts for me. Honda still makes most of them so you should scheck there to see first.
