Das Forum rund um die Honda NX Baureihe

Winter break finally over, time to go on. In the meantime I found a luggage rack from Greece and installed an engine guard. The carburetor is not running properly and needs replacing and some other work.

Fantastic work!

dang, summer is almost over and I haven't done a thing at the bestof Ok, the bodywork needs a paint job, so I started with the headlight cover. It was bleached and the sticker war partly ripped off.

side cover with Degree style

right side completet. My paint jobs suck - that's why I won't repaint the gas tank which would need it.
Hm, leave the rear carrier black or would be white better?

Looks great !

The carb used has a rough surface and shows signs of corrosion. Probably because an acidic detergent was used. With this carb it starts spontaneously, runs smoothly and without any hiccups. But it lacks some top-end power and consumption is around 3.8l/100km. Therefore I swapped it with a better preserved carb. With that it runs much better, but the consumption is also significantly higher at 4.1l/100km, with full throttle, when possible. From nothing nothing comes When I limited myself to max 110km/h it is 3.8/100km - a bit too much.

finally found a blue seat in good condition - thanks to Jens!

Hi scrambler,

I've been reading and looking through all the info in this thread many times. The content is very clear and of good quality! I really like the attention to detail and the results are amazing!

I've been quite hesitant to register on the forum but I finally did. I got myself a NX250 not too long ago and I'm in the process of upgrading to the casted ax1 wheels including the conversion to disc brakes in the rear. I know you hate them or you love them. But I'm a big fan of the 80's styling these wheels resemble.

I have one question though. Could you maybe share some of your second hand part suppliers? I mainly search through https://www.car.gr/ but it would be nice to compare to some alternative suppliers. Maybe even some Japanese sellers?

Hope all is good!

Thanks in advance!

Can't wait to ride my own converted bike!

Hi Jaap,
welcome to the club. I'm also a big fan of the AX1 wheels, if they were easy to get around here I would buy a set for my NX250. I got the parts for the restoration of my AX1 viewtopic.php?t=915 from Greece and Japan. Greek parts are expensive and mostly in very bad condition, parts from Japan are very expensive due to shipping and customs. I bought parts from Japan via isicar.com, there you can use the search mask to estimate the total price - but for some reason it`s usually more when you get the invoice. It is advisable to buy complete sets because many parts such as chain tensioners or chain guard holders can no longer be bought new. With CMS you can check which parts e.g. needed for the swing arm https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-nx250-ax-1- ... 8DxWP6ZND8
