Humour / money saving ideas
« on: January 31, 2023, 02:15:35 PM »
 a really miserly chap goes into a pub, sitting beside him at the bar was a very attractive woman. they strike up a conversation in which she reveals that she is a high class prostitute, intrigued he asks what her services and prices are. my god he thought, thats expensive, cheekily he asks what is her what is her cheapest service is. ' well i can give you a hand job for £10' she replies, the man thinks for a moment, then a smirk appears on his face, smug with the fact in the last 7 days he's saved £210 by going down the DIY route

i was thinking about rebuilding a 400f engine a few years back, started collecting bits and pieces, on thing unobtainable was the primary chain guides. it appears i was put on the CMS "let you know when it becomes available list". just got an Email from them to say they are back in stock again, £14 each though, thought it might interest any prospective engine rebuilders

CB350/400 / other bikes. Honda ftr223
« on: January 25, 2019, 06:42:47 PM »
I got my 400f up and running after a 2 year build, great for open roads but not a town runabout. I got an Asian market only Honda ftr223 'Flat tracker', great small, simple bike. Parts are readily available, so far so good,  i need to renew the fork seals, no matter who i ask no one can tell me how much oil the front forks take. Contacted  Honda UK, referred me to my local dealer who the told me to contact Honda UK, brick wall!  New workshop manual £193, s/h from £100 and in Japanese only.  with all the experience the people on this forum have, can anyone suggest a solution, contacts in Japan etc.  appreciate any suggestions.

CB350/400 / yamiya
« on: September 02, 2018, 02:08:42 PM »
On the Yamiya site, under the option parts section, they list a 'ignition voltage stabilizer'.  Presumably made by Pamco, anyone any idea what it actually does?

CB350/400 / mileage
« on: August 24, 2018, 01:24:25 PM »
thinking of getting another bike. one i've looked at shows a reasonable mileage for its age. the mileage digits on the odometer are up and down, all over the place.  am i right in thinking that its a sign of ' clocking', interested in your thoughts.

« on: July 31, 2018, 06:31:27 PM »
with just the paperwork left my 77 400f is ready to return to the road after 23 years, one little problem, the side panels refuse to go over the bottom rubber grommets. applied rubber grease, still no joy. seems if i do force them on, i'd never get them off again. i do'nt want to break them , any tips?

CB350/400 / fuel
« on: July 16, 2018, 09:19:25 PM »
my VW has its turbo turned up a bit and is advisable to use top fuel, with supermarket petrol to be avoided like the plague.  i'm finishing an 18 month rebuild of a 400F and its ready to return to the road for the first time for 23 years.  My question, is any brand of petrol more friendlier to 40 year old carbs than any other, with all the Ethanol problems. I know i won't need the 97 octane.

CB350/400 / dynatek on a 400f
« on: May 18, 2018, 11:24:19 AM »
after 18 months slowly reassembling my 400f i am nearly there. a dynatek ignition system came with the bike, after fitting new loom the power for the dynatek is taken from the black/white coil leads.  i need now to time it statically, bodged up a headlight bulb with two wires, sooo where do i connect the wires to, starting with the blue 1/4 connection?  dynatek instructions seem a bit vague (to me!)

CB350/400 / 400f indicators
« on: May 02, 2018, 05:08:03 PM »
hi all, coming to the end of a twelve month rebuild of my 400f.  battery installed, electrics seem to be good. in the many boxes that my bike came in are two indicator relays, both appear to be in good nick.  one has 3 connectors with the letters L, P, X beside them, the other relay has 2 pins with the letters L, B,   the loom has black, green, grey. i presume the 2 pin is self earthing. ok, so what colour goes where?  after the trials and tribulations of the last year, a simple question, but its got me beat!

CB350/400 / cb400f horn
« on: July 18, 2017, 03:03:11 PM »
Still in the process of rewiring my bike, most of the old wiring was beyond redemption so new loom and handlebar controls. It all went together pretty easily, just some non-standard wire colours from the R/H control had me scratching my head, call to Dave Silver got that sorted. It is the horn that i find confusing, 2 leads from horn, one Lt Green attaches to the loom, easy, the other lead from the horn is Black which then seems to then morph into Green. The black lead has a male bullet connector on the horn sub loom, can't find where it should connect to, as its green can i just earth it somewhere suitable. A lot of fuss over a humble horn, but i want to get it right. Thanks in anticipation.

CB350/400 / combined rectifier regulator
« on: July 09, 2017, 01:53:37 PM »
Hi, first time on here. I am slowly restoring a 77 cb400f, its never going to be a museum standard job. The wiring is mostly unusable,so working with a new loom. Basic home electrics i can just about handle, but not too sure about 40 year old bikes. The old reg/rec is being replaced with an Elecrex reg/rec from Dave Silver, it seems straight forward. My question is when all wired up as per the instructions,on removing the old regulator there is a spare green earth lead, do i simply bolt this to a nearby frame lug? is it that simple.
