hey guys, my rev counter on my 1980 cb650z goes up very slowly and only to about 3k then very slowly returns to about 1 k, if you tap the clock it will return to 0 after some time, i had a look at the clock and it seem s to be sealed.
any ideas
thanks rick

So I finally got the 650 running today after spending all weekend grinding the new valves in. It runs pretty well as long as the choke is on. Take it of a little and it stops. It has some cheep cone filters on so obviously getting way to much air. I plan on getting the k&n air filters for it they look cool 1 filter covers 2 carbs. But I'm going to have to jet it. Any advice welcome.
Will post a link to you tube when I work out why my phone won't upload it.

Any one know the torque settings for my 1980 cb650z head bolts?
The manual says 12mm bolts at 8-10 kgf m. I tryed to convert that to Newton meters and it came out at 88. Pretty sure that's not right.

he guys so updates on my build been a busy weekend.
got the loom patched up and working after a bit of tinkering got the starter motor turning and sparks. didn't get the bike to fire but oil was reaching the cam and sparks was strong, so figured some work on the carbs and we may be in business!
but then the starter stopped turning, turned out the engine seems to have locked up, in top gear i can turn the wheel a few degrees theirs a bit of a click and it stops, turn back the other way same thing,
any hints where to start would be appreciated
when i bought the engine i was told it had been rebuilt then stood. so basically know nothing about it (1980 cb650z)

Hey. I'm abount ready to start looking at my forks.
They look in not to bad a condition. But they gave been stood for 15 years in a shed.
What should I do to them?
Full strip down and replace seale's? Spring?
Is there any upgrades I can do?
I see progressive springs on eBay.
Thank for any advice.

Finally got some time to start working on the frame today.

Hi all. Firstly big thank you to SteveD for directing me from the USA forum!
I live in Scunthorpe north Lincolnshire
I'v been riding bikes all my life. I have a k8 hayabusa done a bit of work on it Nearly at 200Bhp
I'v been looking for a project bike for abount 2 years now. If I'm honest I really really want to build a norton comando! But can't afford it.
So I started looking at other things.
I have just got my self a 1980 CB650z it was a non runner, engine was out and been sat In a garage for 15 years got it for £200
So glad I found this forum think I would really struggle without all this info.
I am making it a cafe racer so got lots of original parts if any one is interested.
I really want a set of spoked wheels for it but not sure what other wheels would fit?
Any help really appreciated.
