Hi all. I picked up a Honda CA160. Local Honda shop says CA160 take a 12 volt
battery, all my lights are 6 volt. Can some one help. Vin on frame is CA160-
1011694. I'm geting ready to tear my hair out. Need year, and battery size.
Thanks all.
Paul.

Just a wild guess here but I would image the battery you need is a 6N6-3B. I bought one last year for my 1974 Honda XL350 at my local Farm & Fleet for $13.

Saves a lot of bullshit. I'll have a look at that site, then. <Googles> Coo, rather fine. I like that parts look-up facility, and it's even Mac OSX compatible. Bravo!. I've always thought Dave Silver's site could use something similar. DS is great if you know exactly what you want, but not so good if you don't actually know what part is needed, like when there's a bracket with two empty mounting holes and you're wondering: "Now what used to live there?" >> Stay informed about: What year?

What is it with bike shops in the US? Are they all as universally useless as they appear to be, judging by this forum? And another thing - Googling for Honda CA160 6 volt threw up a raft of instant hits as to battery type. The OP can perform the same valuable exercise. -- K1100LT 750SS CB400F SL125 GAGARPHOF#30 GHPOTHUF#1 BOTAFOT#60 ANORAK#06 YTC#3 BOF#30 WUSS#5 The bells, the bells..... chateau dot murray at idnet dot com >> Stay informed about: What year?

No, Service Honda isn't wrong- SC Tom is wrong. Service Honda says the CA160 takes a 31500-201-000 which is definitely a 6V battery. All you have to do is look at the illustration to see it's a 3 cell battery. A further clue is that all the bulbs listed for the CA160 are 6V. > What is it with bike shops in the US?

My experience of local dealerships is that you are well advised to look up part numbers on the web before visiting, and print out the parts listings, with prices, from Service Honda's online microfiche.
