Thank you, re the orientation of the slides, I did see a video that advised this, fingers crossed I manage to get that one right!

Well…
Don’t I feel like a silly sausage!!! I counted the teeth on both sprockets, no problem there, I made sure the wheel was pushed as far forward as it could be, no problem there, I tried the cable tie, no joy. I tried joining the links on the sprocket so as there was as little play as possibly, no joy there either. I had pretty much given up hope, sat back on the stool and admitted defeat and just sat staring at the bloomin back wheel and stupid chain that wouldn’t fit. That’s when I saw it, staring me in the face. I’ve heard that nobody puts baby in the corner but someone should put me in the corner, with a big pointy hat! The chain adjuster stopper was back to front!!! Two minutes later the chain is on and fits and looks just dandy!! Thanks for all the suggestions, ![]() 3

Haven’t counted the teeth on the new sprocket but it’s stamped and from DSS so presumably ok.

Exactly what I thought Ted but it’s the original rear sprocket and I replaced the front like for like. All the info says the chain is the right length but there’s still something not right. I counted the links on the new chain just to make sure it hadn’t been sent out wrong but there are 94 links as it should be? I will have another little dabble before getting the next size up chain.

I’m pretty sure everything is as it should be, I even took the axle out of the left hand side so the wheel moved forward even more and I could join the chain. I then tried to move the wheel back and tap the axle through but the chain wasn’t long enough to get the wheel back enough to get the axle through again.
I’ve stopped for the day now but will try again tomorrow with any suggestions. 6

I’ve managed to get on with a few jobs over the weekend and got to a pint where I was happy to fit the chain.
It is the correct link count for the bike apparently but no matter what, I can’t get the connecting link to fit, it’s about one link too short. From the looking I have done, it should be 94 links and it is. Original rear sprocket and a new 16 front sprocket so I guess everything should be the same and it should fit, but it don’t! Stumped again!! 7

That’s very good of you, many thanks.
So to confirm, this will work as the clutch switch, just ignore the wiring colour difference and fit accordingly? 8

Correct Bryan, this is a drum brake USA version. I’m hoping to get a chance to get back to it soon but the MIL is round this morning and although to me that seems like the absolute best time to lose myself in the shed, Mrs C isn’t of the same opinion!

Thanks Bryan, I can see that brown wire now on the UK wiring diagram, makes sense even to me.

Just had a real quick look before we get ready to go out and it seems as though these early bikes might not have had a clutch switch.
There’s also a brown wire and a green and red wire both free and not connected in the headlight bucket and after a really quick look at the wiring diagram I think these may not be connected to anything either, could be pains over if I’m lucky??? Will have a few hours to muddle through something tomorrow, thanks for all the input, much appreciated. 11

You know what Ted, that could make sense as there definitely wasn’t one when I dismantled the bike, has a brake switch that looks jut like that though.
Off to get the parts manual! 12

Thanks all, I will have to give it a good looking at over the weekend, along with a good dose of head scratching. I was hoping someone would say that they are surplus to requirement, not needed, unused and ignore them

I have the shop manual so I can have a look in there to confuse myself.

SOHC Singles & Twins / CB360 Wiring question« on: May 09, 2024, 08:48:19 PM »
I’ve started to connect things back up on my 360 and I thought that I had taken plenty of notes and pictures but I am a little stumped as I actually didn’t take enough.
In the wire cluster that sits by the fuel tank, I have one spare wire, there doesn’t seem to be anywhere for it to connect? I also have two spare wires branching off the main harness near the front off the bike. I’ve looked at what needs to go back on the bike and I can’t see what these wires would be for, could they be spares and not used? I find it strange that I didn’t get a picture or note it down somewhere but this is my first ever attempt and I have no experience so could easily have missed it, any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve had a good look at the pics that I did take and it does look as though the two wires from the harness could be unused, I can just see one poking through that could be it and it does look a bit weathered, as if it maybe wasn’t connected and covered? Maybe I didn’t notice the one in the cluster if I started unplugging wires it could have gone unnoticed? It’s a 1974 with front drum brake if that makes any difference. Any thoughts??? ![]() ![]() |
