This book is a must have if you own a Honda CT70 and don't want to pay the dealership to maintain it. Some of these bikes are over 30 years old and they require some maintenance. This book will help you solve many problems without having to take it to the dealer. Also check out PlanetMinitrail.com for an online community of CT70 owners willing to provide online help with your bike.

Got this for a 1971 Honda CT70. Clymer does a fairly decent job of covering so many different model years/models in a single book.
This broad coverage makes it sort of inconvenient to find the exact section that covers my bike, but this is probably the reason it is still in publication.

I've only used it to help fix a shifting problem and change the oil so far. The troubleshooting gave pointed to the geneneral areas to look, but it was some phone advice from an avid collector and self discovery that fixed the problem.

It seems to cover 4 or 5 different "Types" of clutch designs but does not list my bike as one of the types making it slightly confusing, but the other models were similar enough to be of help.

Great deal if you own multiple models/years of bikes covered by this book.

Nice book overall. Has lots of pictures of assemblies to make it easier to disassemble and reassemble the parts.
Nice set of specifications for the little tiddler bikes.

Purchased this manual to assist in a rebuild of the top end of my 1978 CT90 and it was very detailed with lots of pictures, a great tool in itself. The price here is at least $12.00 cheaper, (when I purchased) than anywhere else I could find.

This book covers the small Honda single cylinder OHC bikes from 1965-1999...therein lies the problem. There is not enough detail on anything to really do the job well. If you don't have any experience working on these types of engines I would not recommend this as your only guide. Find someone with experience to help you along because you won't find all the information you need here. It tries to cover too much information in a small amount of space and it really doesn't go over any of the gotchas you are going to run into. The procedures are intentionally vague because they are trying to create a one size fits all shop manual. The specifications are pretty reliable, but the exploded views again are only representative of the type and do not cover all the different configurations you are going to run into. I would not rely on this book to get me through the restoration I did, nor the one I am currently doing. Get detailed diagrams parts fiches etc. on your specific bike and use those instead of the drawings here and make sure the procedures this book tells you to do actually apply to what you have in front of you.

Guide for specific category of motorcycles produced in the 60's. Guide is well written, offers clear photos and illustrations but ultimately was not particularly useful in offering me insights in maintaining a specific Honda motorcycle of that time period. Better resource found to be a detailed Shop Manual for my Honda S90.

This is one of the essential reference books if you are working on Honda 50 or 70s. It will pay for itself in a matter of minutes when working on an engine.
