...being too hasty, I did't check the UK art material website search engine myself and I suggest, you give them a call to find out whether they have the the stuff you need first! X

sorry wrong link to the go create thing! coming up soon!

got the same on my little winged honey...she's idling at just over and around 1000 - 1200 ish ...but I won't get too hung up about it - it seems they all do that sort of thing? More or less? Higher idling speed, as you said at around 1800- 2000 ish (might be far too high I think?) and the tractor feeling is gone...so I dunno...My boyfriend used to dispatch ride on several 400/4 in the early eighties around Ireland and says my sound might come from the hyvo chain...comes with age? - who am I to kid here?
...no, and I won't strip the engine-again!

...as I said...David Silver (sales team) said, they are still trying to find a pristine kickstarter (arm&bracket) for the CB400/4 to replicate and sell...if & whenever that happens they intend to sell the thing at 40 quid & VAT&pp ... they truly know the price of everything and the value of nothing...but we can live in hope.
In the meantime we all have to rely on each other for help&support! Thanx Steve for yours!

PS. Will post the story of the far too large David Silver regulator/rectifier for CB400/4 soon - it drives us mad, having to rearrange the electrical system to accommodate if under the side panels...story coming up soon, after we get our hands dirty&found a hopefully working solution!

...looks good to me-seems to work as well? Mine is bodged now with a Frankenstein type bolt through the return hole...but I think I wanna get yours before the villagers come up with torches and wanna get my monster! ...tampering with the very fabric of nature again...
...here's my e-mail address & you tell me how I can pay...do you have a paypal account?

big cheers & vvvvvvoooom, XXXKeike

  After a good girly cry by the roadside yesterday when my much abused 36 year old kickstarter finally packed in and folded over to the "other side" - physically and metaphysically! (see Monty Python's parrot sketch) I'm pining to get one that works!!!!
Has any one got one lying about??? - Or knows someone who has?

(The arm of mine has no purchase on the bottom bracket any more and the bracket did crack and split yonks ago with her one previous owner...I trailed the internet last night...could only find a similar looking one in the US with the 350F...but it seems not to have a little hole above the big zig-zag hole where it attaches to the mechanism in the engine...so it might just not fit???
...yes, I could just be a slob and use the electric starter button-after I fitted a new regulator (ordered one already)...let's hope it's not the generator as well, but the output from it seems OK...
...but I'm a bit old fashioned and found that the kickstarter got me out of this and other trouble all the time...yesterday it was the AA which woootsed up the battery to get me home with revving the shit out of it, the poor old girl - but this can't go on...I wanna ride my canary yellow little wing not pose with it by the roadside!!!)
