CT110 postie "cafe racer"
« on: October 25, 2016, 10:48:47 am »
Finally got my postie café racer registered. It has remote electric start 125cc race engine which has trouble keeping the front wheel down taking off from the lights. Has GPS speedo, upside down forks with disc brake front wheel, nitrogen rear shocks and an alarm fitted.
Real good fun to ride to the shop for milk etc.......

Looks like lots of fun. How does the remote electric start thing work?

Its just a remote electric start module with alarm function as well. I have these remote starts on 3 of my bikes now and they all work perfect. I get them on ebay for $20 delivered (from China). The first bike has had it since December last year and never plays up.
The slightest touching of the bike sets the alarm off real loud.
They come with 2 remotes and you can wire it with or without the original ignition key switch involved.
2 of my bikes are keyless and one has key or remote start.

Oh, I misunderstood, I thought the mechanical part of the starter was somehow separate from the engine. I wasn't thinking electronic remote start like on a car using a key fob.

Looks great and yes they are fun...  I put a 140 race engine into a 1969 CT90 and it rips around well.
