CB650 / Which colour blue is it???

« on: September 04, 2014, 04:54:23 PM »

Hi All,
Down to the final part of my on-going project CB650z.
The lip of the tank has some surface rust and has spread up a little in places so I cant just prime and cover it with some chrome trim. I have tried to find the correct colour down at my local paint shop going through swatch after swatch. Thought I had found a good match, Toyota 8Q1 but doesn't look right when its on so I will have to do it again.
I have found a place online but they list 3 colours.. Candy Tanzanight Blue, Candy Sapphire Blue and Candy Flair Blue Pearl.
Before I take a chance with one of the colours, does anybody know which I have by looking at this picture of the side panel??
Cheers!

CB650 / Carb problem.. Help please!

« on: February 04, 2012, 03:27:23 PM »

Hi all,
Just finished the rebuild of the CB650z and she started

Having a problem though and wondered if anybody could point me in the right direction..
The bike takes ages before it runs smoothish from cold. Is this common?
At low revs it seems to only run on a couple of cylinders but not all the time. Tickover is a bit strange as well. I keep having to adjust it. I had the carbs in bits and nothing was blocked. Had the air blower through every hole I could find.
The exhaust is a Jama but the jets are standard. Is this correct? It pops and farts a bit but sounds pretty good.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve.

Hi all!
In the process of sorting a CB650z and noticed that the top igniter has melted all the black stuff out.. What could cause this? Main fuse has been replaced with a nail

Hi all!
Finally after 30 years I have managed to buy myself a CB650z 1981

MOT tomorrow, fingers crossed..!
Bike is in really good condition with only 7500miles! Been dry stored for many years. Only downside is a 4 into 1 exhaust and a bit of rust on the tank lip.
All tips, knowledge about these bikes would be much appreciated..!
Many thanks,
Steve
