Actually it's probably Boston (I hope) one of the three squirrels I hand reared 18 months ago. Same squirrel came to my door for nuts and sniffed my shoe, did a sort of hokey pokey and went and put a peanut among my clocks!

Never mind the airbox, dont stand behind it after the animal has filled the exhaust.
It would simply empty itself into the yard beyond the bars and that's full of Scooters! WOW...Scooter Shooter!

Spot the peanut? Spot the culprit? Yesterday it was a walnut behind the cylinders, maybe like roast nuts too?

In the next few days I'll have (hope) finished what I'm doing and back on with the exhaust system. Last time I tried replacing the missing exhaust gaskets but hey got so chewed up in my atempts I did what someone else might have done before and gave up with them. Are they very important and is there an easy way to fit them?

If you look at "kick starter oil seal" in the 400/four listing on his site, he sells the genuine Honda one for less than £2, make sense to buy just what you need, and it's going to fit perfectly!
Spotted it. Must have been having a senior moment on his site, or the cold is numbing my skull!

Thanks for this. Julie...I've got a new gasket, surely it needs a sealant though? I've got Loctite MR5922 handy...

I'm in the process of taking the clutch cover casing of my CB400F2 for paint stripping and polishing thereafter, and to let me paint the other casing next to it. As you see in the image I've got as far as removing the bolts and obstructions. It obviously doesn't want to come off easily and I'm loath to start sticking a screwdriver or something between it and the crankcase cover. Is there an easy/proper way to do this. Also, when I put it back together is there anything this amatuer is going to find difficult. I've noticed it's a bit leaky around the kickstart shaft, new seal needed probably but from where?

I've got a 1978 CB400F2. Still being 'worked on' but getting there.

What is the best way to protect the paint on a motorcycle fuel tank from fading and scratching where it tends to meet the groin often? I've bought some sticky film but I'm not sure I trust it, I don't want to stick a pad there either.......

I went on youtube to see how to fit those tiny E clips. I too have just a fitted one. OK heads up. I got a new fuel tank and petcock also, because the tanks you get from David Silver are US spec and take a different petcock. I had trouble fitting the new fuel cap I had also bought, I had to use a file on the fixing point on the tank to have the cap fit so the locking pin could pass through. Now i had just spent £400.00 having the tank and side panels painted ala F2 in candy red, I find I cannot fit the bluddy tank on. Panic. Phones up David Silver and initial disbelief gave way to agreement when they tried the same thing at their place. I sent in an image to show that the brackets on the tank that fit over the rubber fixing grommets was less than the original I had..see pic. Eventually they found two ways, one I couldn't perform, the other was to cut back thickness of the rubber fixing grommets so the brackets could pass and let the tank fit. They say the manufactor had changed something without telling them, but anyway, if you get one as well you know what to do.
