I love it. I used to live in Pollock Pines right by the dam entrance on the California side. I was 14 and 15 when I lived there and later I went back and ran the Rubicon in my 4 x 4 but that’s one of my favorite places in the country.

I put 17,000 trouble free miles on a CT 110. Sierras, Siskiyous, Klamath mtns and Cascades. Other than tires, batteries, plugs, one chain, it never let me down. Fine little motorized mule.

Just rescued an 81 ct110 that’s been sitting the last 5 or 6 years behind a shed. Best $200 I’ve spent this year. Cant wait to get it going again. It has a title so it’ll be on the road soon enough.

As much as I love CT bikes, you should try and add a Suzuki RV90 to your group, lousy on the road but a joy over the Rocky muddy spots on the trail. Conditions like that are rough on the CT, but easy on the RV. If you get the chance, try one, you'll like it on the trail (not so much on the pavement, but it is road legal). It was Suzuki's answer to the CT90.

On the engine swap with the ATC125 engine builds that I've done, I added the left rear brake back on. I do have to say, the cabling is such that it doesn't work all the great. It is hard to get real hard braking action with it.

I don't recall the clutch ever slipping. We were at high altitude and we had not switched out the jets in the carbs, so the bikes were a bit under powered. So using the LOW gears was necessary. In LOW the bikes ran great. There was only one point, at near the very top of the ride (it was about 8500 feet) that was VERY steep and rocky where we had a problem, power wise, If we had hit it faster I'm sure the bikes would of made it, but we all stalled and had to get off and push the bikes (in gear engine running) up about 20 feet of very steep hill.
