I am an ex bank manager (35years) and Hospital Admin Manager (25years) and finally retired. A while ago I scored a Japanese version of an NSR50 AC-10 which is road registered in New Zealand. Its actually listed on the rego papers as a Honda Beast
.....obviously compliance was not an issue when it was first registered
I have finally gotten around to having a good look at it with the aim of riding it. As I know $tuff all about 2 strokes I am going to need some help as the manual seems to be non-existant.
I thought it was a 6 volt but now I think it is 12 volt (according to specs) but it appears not to have a battery and I am unable to even see where one might fit. I looked at the 2004 manual and it appears that starting is by pushing It.. I guess that is because they are racebikes. Mine has a kickstart but I can probably manage a push start on this..the VFR800 not so much!!
First question...should it have a battery?Specs have a blank where battery detail should be. CMNSL wesite shows a battery on the parts page and lists it as YB2(JDM). I don't know if that is correct as it is priced at US$246.86!!!! which seems a tad expensive for a small battery.
I also need to source an air filter as the guy I bought it from seems to have decided one was not required- the airbox is empty
Anyone out there with a similar bike and willing to advise?
