Thanks Bryan, that would be really helpful. The last time I had a 400/4 was in 1978 and it was under manufacturers warranty so never had to do anything to it. I will PM you with details. Thanks again  :-*

Depends how long between rides i suppose ;)

Usually you'd have to change the tubes if they are going down, couple of psi drop over a month would be something like normal.

By the way Julie, I've had a couple of family in hospital on and off over the last few years and I'm just amazed at the staff there. A hard job done brilliantly by so many people, and really so much appreciated.

Tube and valve change over the winter then !!
We do try very hard to do the best for our patients K2-K6 and we do know that a majority of our patients and their families are very appreciative. Unfortunately, these days as Nurses, we can't do right for doing wrong. Spend too much time and energy giving the patient what they need and we are told we are not 'cost effective'......hayho, happens everywhere i suppose

What is the other type of joint??? ;)
It's the type of joint that some may need at the end of a very long hard day. Not that us Nurses are into anything like that, much !! Whilst your on Trig, my tyres keep going down, they loose about 6-8 psi between each ride. Im assuming they have got tubes in them, iv'e checked the valves and they all seem OK. Is there a chance they tubeless ?

Thats why I joined this forum. I heard that someone called Ash was the font of all knowledge !!!. Jokeing aside, you all know sooooo much about these old bikes, its like having Hondawikipedia at my finger tips. If you need any expert advice on Joint Replacements ( ie, hips, knees, shoulders etc, not the other sort of joints  ;)) then maybe I can be of use :-* :-*

HM300's are the original exhausts for the CB750K0 and K1 , HM 341 's are K2 onwards to K6. The 300 designation was for parts for the CB750 so many parts have middle number -300-

Yea my wife saw a .jpg photo named 'nipples' on my desktop and thought I was up to no good ::) It was of a spoke nipple I had re-plated.

Cheers Ash

Your 400/4 exhaust is HM377 part no. BTW Julie

Thanks for explaination Ash.  :-*

I think he plans to put the additive in it again after this weekend as bike will not be ridden till about April next year and then early next year see how it idles and if necessary strip carbs then. It will get a really good hard ride this weekend which will help as well I think (or it will f**k it totally !!) :-*

Simple fix for now, STP seems to have cleared whatever was causing the problem, at least he can ride it to Brands at the weekend for BSB. He will take the carbs to bits over the winter.
Thanks for your advice

He's put new fuel in it and also filled up with the higher octane fuel as well, made no difference. But, if it sits there not being ridden from say September to April each year and then only does 300-400 miles per year, would the fuel somehow cause gunge or similar to build up in the carbs ?. The bike has always run great,  I take it out sometimes as well, but from the first ride out this year it wouldn't idle.

Thanks Guys. I have found Seafoam and 2 other products on Amazon. BG4KK and Profi Fuel Max. He will probably try one of these as a quick fix and then a complete carb clean and overhaul in the winter. Even though the bike is 14 years old it's only done 4200 miles (and he brought it from new) so it does sit around doing not much an awful lot of the time. He's in to his 1950/60 British classics  but likes a scream around on the R1 every now and then.

A friend of mine has a 2001 Yamaha R1 (one of many bikes he has but sorry, no Hondas, idiot !!!)which runs like a bag of S**T at idling speed. Before he rips the carbs off have any of you ever used something like Seafoam, or similar and if you have which product was it and was it any good.
Ta in advance
Julie
