AWD gets awful gas mileage, comparable to a pickup truck, even if it's the smallest Subie they sell. Seems petty, but those prices will only ever rise.

The Fit is relatively light, so of course it gets great mileage, but at 2500 odd pounds its perfect for kicking through snow. Not too light or too heavy. My old Skylark was in that weight class with a similar drivetrain, and it was just right. But I do have a caveat about that to deliver, just not yet.

AWD is cool, but it's complex, that means more mechanical problems, which of course will only rear their ugly heads in the middle of a blizzard. The Fit is simpler, with a proven drivetrain, from a company whose cars are infamous for running and running. Subies, crossovers, and SUVs will generally want more work at the mechanic, simply because they're heavier and more complicated. They'll always have bigger engines and want more gas.

The Fit's interior packaging is amazing. That's why everybody gushes over the car. The seats have all these clever tricks built into them that lets them haul families all day, then fold down flat to hold like four St. Bernards and whatever else you can think of. Here's a nifty short video showing them off. I love little stealth minivans like the Fit that do this. You can haul the kids one day, then haul all the gear for a fully equipped band the next. In a pinch, it's a camper. With that much interior floor room, it's a lot of things.

I haven't forgotten about your snowy winters. More than anything else you're gonna want a set of decent snow tires. Car snobs will insist on expensive ones but I say phooey. I've had really good luck with cheapo Mud and Snow rated tires. To be honest I just kept them on the car all year. With cheap M+S tires and front wheel drive, you might get stuck going forward but you'll never get stuck backing up. I recommend getting an automatic instead of a stick. I don't think you lose much MPG with modern autos, and the ability to take your foot off the brake and just slow creep is really, really useful on ice. You'll end up wanting snow tires on anything you get, anyways, and adding them will make the Fit a no brainer.

Now that I've been preaching Fit gospel, I feel like it's time for a counterpoint. Remember the caveat? The big thing I've noticed that makes a good snow car is ground clearance. In the 90s and earlier even passenger cars had plenty, but then car companies started wanting them to handle on racetracks better, which led to them lowering and stiffening the cars. That old fashioned tippy toed floppy American car suspension was actually perfect for snow, which is why they did it. This is where the Fit might fail. You should have seen me get hung up on an ankle high drift in a New Beetle once because the darn thing was just too low. But the Japanese know snow. I think you should just avoid the Fit Sport and its lower body cladding. Still, when you look at your prospective Fit in the flesh, make sure it looks like a huge fat raccoon could hide under there, which is proper snow clearance. You don't want to do a lot of snowplowing.

Oh, btw, narrow tires are great for snow. They act like pizza cutters instead of floating. That's how the Netherlands depends on bicycles even though it's the Netherlands. The Fit has narrow little tires.

Counterpoint two: Do you live in the mountains? The Fit's engine isn't very powerful, and if you're up in elevation, it will be even less powerful due to thinner air. There's you, willing your Fit to make it over that mountain with prayers. No bueno. That's why all the ski bums love turbocharged Subies and the like. The turbo compensates for the loss of air pressure. So if you're 9k feet above sea level, I can't quite recommend the Honda.

Otherwise there's no winter that a Fit won't conquer so long as you spoil the little guy with some grippy tires. Especially if you throw something like these into the back just in case.

u/PLD · 2 pointsr/SVRiders

Wheel weights can really just go anywhere on the wheel there's a flat enough spot to stick it to, but I try to get it as close to the center as possible. I use stick-on weights, but the guy who I had doing my tires before always used the clamp-on weights. Both seem just fine.

You throw the wheel with tire onto the balancer and the heavy spot will orient itself downward. Add the weights to the light end that is upward. I use a piece of electrical tape to hold weights on temporarily and add them until it's balanced enough that the wheel wont spin on its own. It's not as awesome as those big expensive machines that tell you where to put the weights, but I've personally never had issues. Just takes patience and forethought.

Here are the tool I use:

Rim savers These work very well, but I think if you have spoons that aren't flat and wide like the motion pros it can break the plastic it's made from. Mixed reviews. Some recommend three, but they're sold in pairs. I went ahead and got two sets in case I broke one somehow.

Wheel balancer I had heard horror stories about the cheaper end balancers and figured I'd just do it right the first time and went ahead and got this thing. Very solid piece of equipment.

Two smaller spoons - These work great I think. I have a slight bias toward motion pro since, in my experience, they make good stuff.

Large spoon - It's useful for the last part of the tire if you can't manage it with a shorter spoon. More leverage. Not entirely necessary, but three total spoons is ideal.

Air compressor - To set a bead you need one with a high enough PSI, but this was bought with the air tools in mind. I'm pretty sure it would be overkill for just mounting tires.

Bead breaker - There is a motorcycle specific one that I saw, but it seemed like it was designed for scooter wheels that are much smaller. I saw it in action at a friends house and it works fine as well.

There are competing brands and vendors for everything you can think of, so shop around for whatever you decide on doing. There's a good chance there's a better deal out there on something. I just use amazon for reference.

u/CndConnection · 1 pointr/CafeRacers

A really good source for info : www.dotheton.com
Make an account on that forum and when you're done with that go to the forum and find the "projects" section and look for the subsection "cafe racers" All of those threads in there are packed with information and each thread has the bike's year and model in the title.

For more focused knowledge use the search function and make it so it only searches "projects - cafe racers" and search for Honda CB100 and the CB125 (it's literally the same bike just the displacement of the cyl is different). There you will find threads about your bike and they will contain many photos of the build process to help you.

Parts for CB100/CB125s : search ebay for brake cables, clutch cables, and throttle cables. That bike's model is super popular in Thailand and they still make new ones I think so all those parts are still available but ship time is long. Buy these now before you have to in the future and wait 1 month for shipping.

I tried getting a replacement CB125s wiring loom from ebay as well but once I got it and looked at the wiring diagram it turned out to be a CB100 wiring loom which is slightly different when it comes to the alternator connections and rectifier/regulator. That's good news for you though it means you can easily find CB100 totally brand new wiring looms. Replacing yours would be a really good idea unless you've seen your wiring and it looks mint. This will help you avoid any strange intermittent electrical issues.

I converted my CB125s to 12v but I have an '81 and it uses a Pulse-CDI ignition so it's not the same as your CB100. It will be a similar process and shouldn't be too difficult. Dotheton.com might have some threads on that.

Cleaning and rebuilding the stock carb is ideal but if it's cracked or un-cleanable replacing it with a Mikuni-clone ebay carb will work. I did it and it started up instantly and has been running strong since I switched.

Hard to find knowledge RE: single cyl. 100-125 thumpers from Honda : they don't mind K&N airflow or Uni-filters and can use them fine since the carb is slide and not vacuum. However, these bikes do not like shortened exhaust manifolds/mufflers. These bikes prefer longer exhaust manifolds with a longer muffler for backpressure so don't shorten it any shorter than it was stock.

Lastly : if you intend on changing the clutch plates it's not that hard at all but you will need a specific Honda OEM socket to remove a bolt on the clutch basket. They sell it for like 50 bucks the bastards. Many people make their own. It looks like this : https://www.50stunt.com/v/vspfiles/photos/MMEG-TBW0307-2.gif

Definitely make your own don't be like me and pay half a hundred for that.

Good luck!

http://www.hondatwins.net/forums/62-engine-discussion/19731-clutch-hub-nut-socket-how-make.html
example of someone making their own clutch tool. I think there are many types though 20mm, 24mm etc.

u/MotoMatthew · 4 pointsr/motorcycles

This sounds like a good reason to start changing your own tires. It sucks at first, but after you do it a few times it gets much easier. A good set of spoons/levers will cost you around $20-30. Get 3 of them, it makes it easier. Maybe consider getting this guy for $12: http://www.amazon.com/Motion-Pro-08-0471-Bead-Buddy/dp/B0035UDHZ2 (it acts like a third hand to keep bead on tire when putting tire back on). Then you just need a valve core remover ($1-2). Balancing tires is actually really easy too. http://www.amazon.com/SMI-Motorcycle-Wheel-Balancer/dp/B0040HE8OS/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1407863820&sr=1-1&keywords=motorcycle+wheel+balancer

Let me know if you want help learning, I can point you to some good install vids. It's not as easy as they make it out on the videos though when you first start, but after you do a few you'll be a pro and never take tires in again.

u/cramer_cj7 · 2 pointsr/ATV

I put these on my 550 but I went up to 26” tires. This link to amazon is the stock size you have on there now. Sliverbacks are a nice mud tire but $160-200 a piece. For the riding you sound like you want to do these tires in the link will be perfect. Also for $240 for all four it’s not bad. My girlfriend and my daughter ride the 550 now and go everywhere I go with my mud tires on my 1000 XP.

u/Wild_Dingleberries · 1 pointr/DRZ400

Thx boss. Seems like they have the 120/80-18 for ~$60 on Amazon which seems like a great price.

Alternatively, may grab a new front wheel as well. If I did, Revzilla has a nice combo going for $111.

Would I be fine with 90/90-21TL for the front? TL vs TT if I want to shop around? Since the stock is 80/100, would this have any noticeable effect on my speedo? Thinking 80100% vs 9090% is only a mm difference..

u/Enduro_Jeff · 2 pointsr/WR250R

I use the Nuetech Tubliss system.

It is awesome. I carry a pump at all times and pump up for street and air down for dirt.

Here are pro's and cons.

Pros:

Super low pressure.

No pinch flats.

Can run on it while 100% flat no problem.

Easier to change tires (once installed).

Can patch a puncture with simple snake patch.

Somewhat better resistance to rim damage.


Cons:

High pressure system leaks air through rubber over time. You have to top it off every 10 days or so.

Up front expense.

It takes like 5 oz per wheel to balance. So you'll need to buy a ton of spoke weights.

If you run MX tires, they are weak and might tear, you can't patch a tear in a tire.

I have many freeway miles and many off road miles on the system. I would highly recommend it for anyone with a dirt focus. For street only, it's not worth it simply because of the extra effort to top it off every 10 days.

Need a new tire to install the system with, and also rims need to be in good condition.

The first install takes some more effort. You have to clean the rims very thoroughly, Drill a bigger hole, and install new rim tape. Then it's like you install 2 tires. But over all its pretty simple. There are no hard parts like trying to thread the stem into a hole when the tires in the way. While you do need to be careful during install, I think it's easier than when making sure not to pinch your tube on install.

u/jenns101_ · 2 pointsr/ATV

I definitely want good quality tires but if the Amazon's will last then I'd be good with that. I have a little Rock sectional on my home trail I ride but I tackled it easily with the carisles so obviously it isn't too hard. What do you think about these ones on Amazon?

u/ItZzSora · 3 pointsr/DRZ400

Well, what size do you need? On my WR250f I ran Shinko 705's, at $60 for each tire, that was a damn good deal for me. They lasted several thousand miles and were good if I ever needed to go off-road, and had great handling on the road.

u/FigMcLargeHuge · 2 pointsr/MechanicAdvice

They make them. These fit on my Goldwing, but I am not sure if they would fit your application.

Since you stretched, get a nice shock to support the new extra. The Forsa shock is nice and fits the stock airbox. https://www.amazon.com/Forsa-Ruckus-Performance-Shock-252mm/dp/B00J4ZATZ8

​

Do you have rough roads, go off road? Get some Boppers for the road if you're not doing those things. Then a gas tank cover!

https://www.amazon.com/Michelin-Bopper-Sport-Scooter-Front/dp/B005J884JM (130 or 120, some do 120 in front. I run 120 on both.

​

Looks good! I like the smaller stretches, as a no-stretcher currently.

u/Soggy_Pud · 1 pointr/ATV

Hey sorry was on mobile before couldn't type much. The bearclaws and OG mudlites (stucklites or pluglites depending where you live) just are old thin sidewall tires and their performance is severly lacking.

If you are trying to stay in the $250 range, check out these sunF tires. They're a bighorn knockoff. Biasply instead of radial. Only 6 ply but they're much thicker and stiffer ply than the kendas I ordered years ago (sent them back). They also make a zilla knock off. Are they as good as the originals? No probably not. But will they on a light quad like that? Absolutely. Theye bighorn knockoffs are probably going to be my next set in 28s because they dont' make an OG bighorn in a 28"s for 12s.


Just dawned on me, you might actually have the original 10" wheels on that. In that case you might want to look at something like this.. Though I would seriously consider buying a set of delta steel 12"s so you could run any tire you want.

u/futility_jp · 2 pointsr/motorcycles

It's honestly a lot easier than you think it is. Get some motion pro fork levers. Get three of the longest ones if you're just going to be changing tires at home. To make things easier take the valve core out of the old tire and ride the bike around a little to get all the air out before you take the wheel off. After that you can pop the bead with a clamp or side stand, or just get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Motion-Pro-08-0439-Bead-Popper/dp/B001AWM0HS and hit it with a hammer. That thing even makes popping the bead on my DR650's nightmarish rear tire a breeze. Once it's popped use the three tire levers to pry off the tire (youtube helps for learning the proper method here). Once it's off put some baby powder on the new tube to prevent chaffing and dish soap around the new tire bead and reverse the process. You probably won't need to inflate the tube to 100 psi to set the new bead, all mine have popped in at about 25 psi which is no problem for any old pump/compressor.

u/edheler · 2 pointsr/preppers

I would say the Honda is slightly better than the Yamaha but the differences are negligible. About the only thing I wish either of them had would be a larger gas tank. I would like a 2-2.5 gallon tank so it could run for more than 8 hours at its rated load. I needed more power than either of those generators provide and went with a Yamaha EF6300iSDE.

u/Diabetus97 · 1 pointr/motorcycles

I love the look of this reflective rim tape , although it's not completely lit up , it still looks good at night or with flash. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G5RTYYK/ref=sr_rp_1?m=A21JCJ19UN8DCH&ie=UTF8&qid=1457748328&sr=sr-1&keywords=reflective+rim+tape

u/pdpbigbang · 1 pointr/motorcycles

I got one from amazon that comes curved. You just have to clean the rims and you can take it off and put it on as many times as you want, and it won't make it any less sticky. Luckily I did it right as I bought the bike, which made the rims as smooth as a baby's buttock.

Hahahahaha, right?! I was like "welp, there's no way that's gonna come out the way I want." That poor customer service guy was probably like "WTF does that even mean."

Here is [a link to the rimtape] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G5RTYYK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It's a bit pricey, compared to what else is out there, but as you can see, it's SO worth it. My advice is to place it carefully and slowly, working off the inner portion of the rim (closest to the inside where the valve stem is).
