It's the chain oiler adjuster and shouldn't be in the bottom of the engine as where it fits has a filter screen under it so it can't go anywhere. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Just had a look at DSS and they list two types The type i have (chrome end for tommy bar ) is for the F & F1 The long bolt type Julie has is the correct type / style for the F2 Although the parts manual lists this as fitting F & F2 So i guess they are interchangeable as the bearings are the same for both Ross
I wonder if both types are the same length overall Ross? Would be interesting to know just out of curiosity really. But, as you say, they both fit and do the job and that's all that matters.

Yours is an interesting bike Michael, being an early one by registration but with the frame mounted foot pegs. I know there was a time when the early ones which normally had the swing arm mounted pegs, had the later frame mounted ones but I cant remember where exactly in the production that was (I also have mushy brain syndrome).
Edit....had to look it up 🙄🙄🙄 1976 model year went to frame mounted foot pegs but was still in the early colours, ie Light Ruby Red and Varnish blue. Also had a locking fuel cap fitted from 76. So still an F model....not the F1 model.

Oh Yeh, just one more thing, when purchasing a hydraulic bike lift, temper one's enthusiasm and measure the length of the platform first!!!!! As you can see, rear wheel fitting gets very interesting, hence the need for our beloved NHS!

Who's right and Who's wrong That is the question??? lol TrickyMicky has an early 400 with footrests on the arm and his spindle is the same as mine His arm are closed ends Mine are open end So maybe i have the early style spindle with later style arm !!!!! Parts catalogue shows both type arms but only one type spindle?Don't know why ??
Just been looking in to this Ross. Both you and I have F2's which have the open ended swing arm, which we both have. Up to VIN number 1065686 (so a lot earlier than ours) they had the spindle with the big chrome end on, with the hole, which is the one you have I assume. This style was a hangover from the CB350/4's of earlier years. After the above VIN, they fitted the fixed bolt type, like I have fitted on mine and what you should have fitted on yours. Why Michael has a closed end swing arm, I have no idea as all 400's were manufactured with the open end type, again, a hangover from the CB350/4. I'm sure it makes no odds which is fitted really as long as it does the job.

So you can still insert a tommy bar without fouling the exhaust?? Or was the wheel fitted then the exhaust
Not sure you have the correct spindle for a 400/4 then. If you look at my photos, you can see the spindle is a fixed nut on the end. You don't need a tommy bar or screwdriver to put in a hole, as there is no hole. It sounds like you have a 550/750 style spindle with the big round chrome end on it and not the nut end like mine.

I'm not saying mine is correct being inserted from the brake side by the way 😊😊 What I'm saying is that I can see why I put mine in that way, purely because there is not enough clearance for it against the silencer if I had put it in from the other way.
Even David Silver puts it in same way as me 🤣🤣🤣

Just found in Haynes manual page 97 section 7-1 It states Pull out the spindle with the drive side adjuster and spacer As Trickymicky states would make it difficult fitting a tommy bar to assist removal
Yes Ross, it does say that, it also says that's for the CB500 closed fork ends 🤔

For what it's worth, I have 400 with fixed rear footrests, closed ends swinging arm. Nut is on RH (brake) side, when assembling, push spindle through from sprocket side and when enough thread is showing start turning nut and use this to pull rest of spindle through. On the spindle I am using at the sprocket end it has a hole whereby you can use a small tommy bar/screwdriver to hold the spindle while you tighten the nut, would not be able to use this if it was at brake end. Little bit of care needed when inserting split pin into castrated wheel nut. Sorry Julie, but speaking as one who made an absolute pig's breakfast once of trying to fit shox that were too long, that's when everything fouls up. Always carefully measure between fixing centres of shox before trying to fit, can't give proper measurement at moment, as it's absolutely precipitating down outside, and the pizza and beer are ready. Regards, Michael.
Agree Michael. My shocks are spot on the original length so everything is sitting where it should be as far as levels and clearances are concerned. But, although I can see its very easy to insert spindle from the nearside, making the nut on the off side by the brake, I cant see how this is possible with the silencer in the way, if a standard exhaust system is fitted, there us just not enough clearance available 🤔🤔🤔

Sounds like you're doing a great job Mike.

I don't think you will get the nut on the brake side. If you look at the pics, the spindle sticks out a lot more on the nut end than the other end. If you turn the spindle round, the silencer will foul the end of the spindle and you won't be able to get the nut on if you have a standard exhaust system fitted.

Scrap that..my 400 does have an open end swing arm 🙄🙄🙄🙄 So, it doesn't matter which way the spindle goes in. (I was looking at the wrong bike 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
