CB650 / backfire problem?

« on: August 05, 2010, 03:37:35 PM »

hi all,i have developed a backfire problem on tick over,i have not used the bike for 1 week,and all i have done to it was changed my points cover for a nice shiny one in that week,if i adjust tick over to about 1800 it disappears?so is it over fuelling?? or is it just a bit of crap in the carbs??
any ideas would be really good thanks

CB650 / another little problem

« on: July 06, 2010, 09:05:42 PM »

hi all again

i have another small niggle with the bike

its i have a small backfire/pop when i close the throttle,it does not happen all the time just now again,say 1/2 on a 10mile trip.
i can live with it at the moment but i am a bit of a fiddler and hoping someone has got any ideas
also i think the tappets sound a bit noisy,i no its a 31 year old bike ,and i do expect a few little niggles ,but i am a fussy git,should i expect them to be a bit noisy?? as it has done 37000 miles
but she starts and runs really well,ticks over once warm nice and smooth,just a bit noisy on the tappet side,and the little pop/backfire
the bloke i got her from only did 200miles on her in 2 years so would it be that she just needs a few hundred miles put on her to free everything(i am using her most days to and from work but thats only 3 miles each way)

CB650 / strange starting problem

« on: June 26, 2010, 01:20:17 PM »

hi all,since i am still learning about this bike

i get a strange problem now and again when i start her up
it is that when i press starter button she just turns over without engine firing, neutral light is on,almost like electrical fault
i then shift through the gears and then back to get neutral light back and she then is fine
i have read tha haynes ,and noticed there is a clutch fail safe
anynone got any ideas
