Thanks Julie....you are a gem! So I fit the short one first and strain back on the longer one until it's in position.

Getting ready to return my clutch cover housing and while checking what to do I find two arms on the kick start return spring. The long one is simple enough, hook onto rib on crankcase as seen in manual, but same manual is not clear about what to do with the short arm if anything needs to actually be done. I see nothing making itself obvious either......is there?

What I have on my handlebar is the aftermarket one from DS, it is fine, the whole unit goes straight on and it is cheaper than replacing the just the piston kit for the original that you have to tinker about fitting.

Actually it's probably Boston (I hope) one of the three squirrels I hand reared 18 months ago. Same squirrel came to my door for nuts and sniffed my shoe, did a sort of hokey pokey and went and put a peanut among my clocks!

Never mind the airbox, dont stand behind it after the animal has filled the exhaust.
It would simply empty itself into the yard beyond the bars and that's full of Scooters! WOW...Scooter Shooter!

Spot the peanut? Spot the culprit? Yesterday it was a walnut behind the cylinders, maybe like roast nuts too?

In the next few days I'll have (hope) finished what I'm doing and back on with the exhaust system. Last time I tried replacing the missing exhaust gaskets but hey got so chewed up in my atempts I did what someone else might have done before and gave up with them. Are they very important and is there an easy way to fit them?

If you look at "kick starter oil seal" in the 400/four listing on his site, he sells the genuine Honda one for less than £2, make sense to buy just what you need, and it's going to fit perfectly!
Spotted it. Must have been having a senior moment on his site, or the cold is numbing my skull!

Thanks for this. Julie...I've got a new gasket, surely it needs a sealant though? I've got Loctite MR5922 handy...

I'm in the process of taking the clutch cover casing of my CB400F2 for paint stripping and polishing thereafter, and to let me paint the other casing next to it. As you see in the image I've got as far as removing the bolts and obstructions. It obviously doesn't want to come off easily and I'm loath to start sticking a screwdriver or something between it and the crankcase cover. Is there an easy/proper way to do this. Also, when I put it back together is there anything this amatuer is going to find difficult. I've noticed it's a bit leaky around the kickstart shaft, new seal needed probably but from where?
