Project Board / Re: 1967 CB450K0 Black Bomber Rebuild - By Royhall« on: March 22, 2024, 01:26:09 PM »the red lead is the one from the rectifier to the battery which is being held on by the black probe, and the other black from the Rectifier is to the - side of the battery the starter wire as we said is Not connected as use kickstart only..... You definitely need to connect the red lead from the rectifier to the red probe from the meter and only have the black lead connected to the battery. Idea is to measure current in to or out of battery. 18

Mo .. you should only have the black probe going to the battery .. that red lead from the rectifier needs to connect to the other red leads

Bl**dy hell I am now genning up on Kwak KH400 electrics ! Forgive me as I have sinned
Must admit the Shop Manual looks pretty good though. https://kawatriple.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Workshop-Manual-S-KH-Series-1.pdf So here you go Mo. On Kwak voltage regulator ... Black wire to Ground and Yellow/Green wire to Yellow on your wiring. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] 21

The Honda regulator is a 3-wire unit Mo. I will have to look up that one you have

Hi Mo .. great that the needles are OK.
Iam thinking along the lines that magnets in the rotor may be slightly weak so I would connect the yellow and white wires permanently. However, dig out one of those Kawasaki voltage regulators out and I will tell you how to connect it. This will mean that if you did generate excess charge then the regulator would 'current dump' it to ground and wouldn't overcharge your battery. How does it read if you have the dipped beam on too? Worth checking 24

Misc / Open / Re: EBay listing spam« on: March 19, 2024, 11:58:29 AM »Ebay is good at these issues. When searching for CB400F spares on Ebay I often see bits for the 1990 CB400F NC27 among the offerings, some people are bound to end up with the wrong thing. The guy from Hull Bertrams Bike Bits does that when he has sold out of something but expecting getting some more ... just puts a ridiculous price on the item. Totally confusing. 27

On Yahoo Japan auctions it's done all of the time Steve (no eBay in Japan) . They seem to just list every model from the same era. So if it's a CB72 part they will list CB92,CB72, CB160. CB175 etc and it's totally confusing plus they list everything as 'junk' even though a part is in super condition visually. I guess to protect their honour if there is a cock-up in the listing or a buyer claims it is not as described. Not sure why a Yam 2-stroke would be described as a 500 4 though?
