Hi folks,
well First post an all hi there! Firstly have just been give an 85 Metalic gold (BRONZE) C90 in kit form and paint stripped too why teenagers idea of making it different but he got bored and found girls/beer ect.Did,nt we all? I had one of these in 80.s field bike think i was 12 or so, thought this would be great fun to have a blast form the past and a little tinker in the garage!!! I have gsxr 85 slabbie to but thats another story .

Anyway i digress its now myn and ready for some tlc and rebuilding restoration ect. Will get a piccy when the rain stops and show you all how nasty it looks well not that bad really just first imprressions.I am in need of few bits a seat and trottle tube/grip but have asked about this in wanted section.
ALSO the paint codes thing, i have no sticker to go from? and the code numbers are therefor not easy to find? Im sure some knowledgeable folk will no what colour it is as i would like to remain std colours really . Ive seen the PDF FILE but not really any use unless i have the code im guessing.
Great site with superb gen on it, am looking forward to getting into the rebuild meeting new folk.

Hi Fula and welcome to the board

Many thanks for the kind words, it's the contribution from members like youself that make the forum a success. Enjoy your project.

The gold is a rare colour though funnily enough we've seen a few here recently! The code is in the 'Guides Section' somewhere, I'll have a look

[Pjam]

I've had a look and there's a few candidates British Gold Metallic = YR-152M, PB-2 DM Sunny Gold Metallic, R-23 EZ Candy Gold, NH-4 KC Starlight Gold.

I'm hoping someone can shed a bit more light on this?

Well thats great narrows it down don,t it!!! Cheers for you time doe,s anyone have an idea where the ident sticker could have been in past??? found the ole; battery one under the rh panel and chassis numbers on Lh alloy plate. i have 13272758 ha02- thats all i could find today. well painted the exhaust and tank today with heat proof and primer. Striped carb which was sooo furry inside no was it could have run last year just no way!!! And sorted choke but have no plug @ moment so no running not even a spark actually?
Do you need battery to get a spark thought magneto would give it some juice? Anyways learning about the c90 again been few years well 20 odd! LOL
Time will tell eah.

Yeah, sorry, not much help with the colour code I think the code is, or was under the seat, sorry I sound a bit vague but it's a while since a had a modern Cub like yours, mine are old 6 volt bikes!

If the bikes been standing for a while the carb will go like that, take your time and do a good job on it cus they can be a bit awkward to clear the jets.

Your bike, unlike my 6 volter won't need a good battery to start. Glad your getting reacquainted with the Cub, their so rewarding

Well finally after 3 weeks a eve,s in the garage she,s in one piece rather than various carryier bags and boxes. She,s had replacement arm,quicky rattle can paint job ,and throttle work including carb strip clean rebuild valves adjusted, oil- plug started 2nd kick and she,s sweet as no rattles smoke been off road 11 years so not bad really its my winter bike so hence the knobblys Vee rubber fit nice too may do front also but has michlie gazell @ present. Ain,t ridden her yet but will do in next day or so

The paint code would have been on top of the fuel tank. Sorry - don't know the code, but at least you know where to look if you see another.

Model is C90E by the way. Imported approx Feb '84 - Sep '86. Gold was discontinued here for the next model, C90G, leaving only the red or blue.
