CB350/400 / Re: Fork Oil Weight?
« on: Today at 11:09:50 AM »
The main reason for using ATF is that it supposedly does not froth when pumped which hapens a lot in forks.
When Mr Honda designed these bikes ATF was about the only oil with this property, specialist fork oils did not exist.
My opinion is use any ATF as the specs wont matter to what it is being used for OR use specialist fork oil but as to what grade now that depends on the owners weight, how it will be ridden and level of comfort required, i seem to remember 7 worked out about same as ATF

If the engine is built to mr Hondas specs it onlyneeds bedding in not running in. More imortant to not run with revs to low (lugging) than letting it rev high

No, the 40 is a different hub, rim, disc, spokes etc but the caliper is the same

Nope, they are the energizing circuit, one goes to earth the other gets power when the starter button is pushed on yours ( opposie on 500).
I suspect the small red wire to loom had a bad connection OR moving all the stuff about made a better(temporarily) connection in fuse box

There is a difference between car and bike cutoff, bikes can go straight up and down cars must go to kerb

Thats the rotor which i have a couple nos somewhere, there should be a peg on the back that locates in a slot in the end of selector drum.
From memory they cost me £7 plus post which you can have one for. PM me with your address if you want one

Do you need the stator or rotor.
Rotors i have a couple of nos, stators ask Trigger if he has any contacts left, they have been gone for a few years now
