Yeah, same what the guy at the paint shop said. He said it was candy so might just have you take a chance with the online shop.

CB650 / Which colour blue is it???
« on: September 04, 2014, 04:54:23 PM »
Hi All,
Down to the final part of my on-going project CB650z.
The lip of the tank has some surface rust and has spread up a little in places so I cant just prime and cover it with some chrome trim. I have tried to find the correct colour down at my local paint shop going through swatch after swatch. Thought I had found a good match, Toyota 8Q1 but doesn't look right when its on so I will have to do it again.
I have found a place online but they list 3 colours.. Candy Tanzanight Blue, Candy Sapphire Blue and Candy Flair Blue Pearl.
Before I take a chance with one of the colours, does anybody know which I have by looking at this picture of the side panel??
Cheers!

CB650 / Carb problem.. Help please!
« on: February 04, 2012, 03:27:23 PM »
Hi all,
Just finished the rebuild of the CB650z and she started  ;D
Having a problem though and wondered if anybody could point me in the right direction..
The bike takes ages before it runs smoothish from cold. Is this common?
At low revs it seems to only run on a couple of cylinders but not all the time. Tickover is a bit strange as well. I keep having to adjust it. I had the carbs in bits and nothing was blocked. Had the air blower through every hole I could find.
The exhaust is a Jama but the jets are standard. Is this correct? It pops and farts a bit but sounds pretty good.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve.

Thanks for the info  ;D
Rebuilt the bike yesterday and balanced the carbs. Still runs pretty rough. Better than it did though! Think I need to whip the carbs off again and get them stripped and cleaned a bit more. I only gave them a once over with carb cleaner and removed the main jets. Somethings not right and its a heavy bugger to push home if it all goes wrong!

Thanks Tomb. I will look into getting it done! Looked for a set of second hand ones but think they were off a CB900. Didn't say OKI MPS-200 on them so didnt buy.

The wheels are in fab condition! Just spent two days polishing the engine covers. The main casings are quite corroded and will need a refinish which I will do when I completely strip her and get the frame sorted. Just trying to locate one igniter. Bike runs fine (apart from over fueling) but all the black stuff has melted away! Common problem? Main fuse has been replaced with a nail. Apart from that no issues... Fingers crossed!

Hi all!
In the process of sorting a CB650z and noticed that the top igniter has melted all the black stuff out.. What could cause this? Main fuse has been replaced with a nail  :P
