CB350/400 / Exhaust studs issue
« on: Today at 06:49:27 PM »
I thought the lengthy rust prone exhaust studs 'on the 400/4' were a buzzing fly and plain got on with it. But seeing the genuine ones on the DSS site I realise I've detected what might be another home made part some bum down the owners list added. The rear brake rod and speedo cable grommet on the front fender are other homemade things I inherited from this bodger.  ::)
These things are 2 1/3 inches long, does anyone know the length of originals?
I'll get a set somewhere along the line but at £55.00 a full set it will have to wait a month or two, other priorities first, I might take the trouble to cut these back a bit for now (maybe  :-\ )

What is it? / Mysterious Exhaust Teeth
« on: Today at 11:32:45 AM »
On four of my eight exhaust collars (CB400F) I have these teeth  ;D in the past I plain put them in the way they came out and thought nothing of it, however in recent months (many) it hasn't been me who put the exhaust system back on so I went to the CMSL site to see if that would help but they didn't exist there. By now I'm taking a closer look at them and they aren't exactly uniform, like my own damn teeth even. It must be some kind of damage or mod by a PO. Can anyone shine any light on this

Misc / Open / Speedo speaking with forked tongue
« on: May 07, 2024, 02:25:38 PM »
As I approach 20mph and onto 30mph my speedo starts wagging within about a 5mph field, enough to cost a lot of money in London today. What might be wrong, is this something Gauge Restorers could fix?  :-\

CB350/400 / A hunt for seals
« on: May 04, 2024, 03:37:40 PM »
I'm on a hunt for some seals, and I don't mean with a club either!  ;D When I had my recent engine rebuild done, they mechanic told me that the large seal for the oil pump wasn't in the seal kit I had supplied. I got that part from DSS no problem but it turns out there are some very small seals that also ought to be changed (why not say before?) as I've still got some leaking I'll endeavour to get them.
They are parts 285 and the twice numbered (?) 286/7 0n the CMSL diagram I've posted here. https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb400f-england_model14639/partslist/E01-3.html  .
The seals numbered 285 (part # 91302044013) on the picture I can get from DSS as they are in stock, but 286/7 isn't in the associated parts list on the CMSL page I just linked, so I can't pull up the proper part number/s to put into the DSS search box, so I'm stuck. Can anyone help?

Humour / MBE

If the MBE is awarded to those who stand out in their field, why hasn't Worzel Gummidge been given one?  :o

Misc / Open / Sump gasket...what to think?
« on: May 02, 2024, 11:43:23 AM »
I ordered a sump gasket for my CB400F2 as seen here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363126431330
What arrived today in the post.... see the image. Doesn't look quite the same to me :-\  Does the blue on the Interface gasket peel off or something? I'm doubtful I've got what I ordered. I'm not sure if I would need a sealant to use this one. Can anyone offer peace of mind or the opposite?

CB350/400 / Reaching tail light wires
« on: April 27, 2024, 02:34:49 PM »
Could it be my wires are too short or something? I had to bend the tang on my new tail light assembly to finally have the associated wire go on and the two other wires nearly had me burst a blood vessel.  >:( Honestly though when you have COPD it is things like this that make it show in the end. Is it easier to start undoing other things first. Any ideas?  ;)

Misc / Open / Oily irony
« on: April 13, 2024, 11:21:42 AM »
Much it seems is being made of the fact that today my special oil for evil ancient petrol burning classic motorcycles from the era of unlimited pollution will be delivered to me on an electric vehicle. Are they trying to tell me something?  ;)

Misc / Open / Ram Air
« on: April 07, 2024, 12:23:27 PM »
For a few months I rode a GT380, the only air cooled two stroke I ever had. Anyone got an opinion if it made any difference or was it just a gimmick?  :-\

CB350/400 / Missing Horn Stay?
« on: April 05, 2024, 10:39:57 PM »
I seem to have come across another missing part on my bike, unless it applies to Japanese market only or something?  :-\ I don't have this horn stay on my bike which has the horn forward facing. https://www.yamiya750.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=179_274_204_240&products_id=3191

Misc / Open / Oil temperature gauge
« on: April 05, 2024, 12:02:50 AM »
I spotted this oil temperature gauge for the CB400F on the Yamiya site, if my guess is correct it fits where the dipstick otherwise would sit. Has anyone got one, is it worth investing in? https://www.yamiya750.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=179_281&products_id=4119
