Cheers for the normal superb technical observations.
Yes keeping an eye on things. I had read somewhere too about lean burn engines not helping. 18

I have a brand new Ford Tourneo. Made by VW and the same as Caddy. Flashed up needing oil at 4k miles. Likewise my friends brand new Audi Q3 did similar. Apparently VWs can do this but then settle down.....?? Spoken to Ford on mine and told to pop it in to have it looked at. All feels a bit uncomfortable to me as likewise I thought new vehicles now us little oil. My Expert can that ive had from new does not use much... 19

Just donated, not sure when last time was but but relatively recently I think. However recent events reminded me of what a excellent but difficult job at times he does. Well done Steve.

Moorey stated my posts were causing members to leave the site so I'm remedying that. Plus one on this and Teds post. 26

Done it the other way with a 400 Superdream on 250 gearing on rear wheel. Wheelies yes but also hole in crankcase due to lack of mechanical sympathy..
With what you are thinking as the others say. no. Not a rocketship of an engine to start with and no excess of power / torque to deal with greater load. 27

CB350/400 / Re: What is the red spot for« on: February 24, 2024, 05:05:16 PM »I began the overhaul of the 400/4 front brake caliper yesterday. Once I finally got it apart and after having to reconnect the overhauled master cylinder to pump brake fluid as the grease gun/air combo method refused to even budge the pad/piston from the caliper the piston finally popped out and it was immaculate, not a mark on it! The cause of the huffing and puffing was the brake pad seizing in the caliper bore. I bought a new piston and seal kit for it months ago having experienced badly corroded pistons in the past so I'll fit these and keep the old one as a spare as you do! The red dot denotes upgraded part fitted to a red bike because as we know, they are so much faster!😜 29

i wonder if they have any plans to do similar copy of 400/4 system?
Got me thinking how many 500's out there compared to 400's. Anybody any idea? 30
