Hi
The neutral indicator light on my 400 has suddenly stopped working - the rest of the lights in the console are OK. I've changed the bulb but that is the extent of my electrical skills .
Any guidance on where/what/how to check next would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I will have to be replacing the swinging arm bush pretty soon and have a couple of questions.
Is it worthwhile trying to find the bronze ones that I've read about or are DSS pattern replacements fine?
I've also read that the "collars" may be worn and that these are no longer available - I've tried to find the part numbers for these but can't see them on my parts list - can anybody help identify these?
Thanks

Not sure exactly what it's called, but the braided cable cover to the points has worn away at the pinch points. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for this?
Thanks

I'm looking into getting my tank and side panels resprayed and have been to RS Paints web page.
They sell in 250mm increments but I have no idea how much paint a respray takes.
Can any one help?

I'm sure I've seen an image and description from a member about re-finishing their instruments but doing a search through the topics doesn't throw anything up.
If this rings a bell with anyone, perhaps they can pm me as I need to tidy mine up for the summer(!)

Hi,
I'm planning to do the Coast-to-Coast St.Bees to Robin Hoods Bay this spring on my '77 CB400/4 with my pal on his '83 CB1000c.
Can anyone recommend accommodation at either end?
If anyone has done a similar trip, I would be interested in the route they took.
Cheers

Has anyone fitted Wemoto pattern exhaust?
I am thinking about changing from the Motad already fiited and would like to know if it a case of bolt off/ bolt on or are there other things to be considered?

Can anyone recommend a disc lock that will fit on the standard front disc?
Cheers

I'm having problems with my clutch and the guy at the garage is getting frustrated...
The problem is that the bike is trying to "set off" with the clutch lever engaged. By adjusting the cable, this can be avoided but at the expense of the the clutch slipping under any sort of stress.
I've had new friction plates and springs fitted, but this hasn't cured the problem. Can anybody any ideas I can suggest to the garage?

Hi, after 9 months finally got a '77 Varnish Blue which has been off the road for a few years.
This is my first bike for many years and the challenge is to get it up and running again.
At the present, my bike is at the local garage having the carbs balanced but I have only just realised that it is missing the air cleaner lid.
I'm having problems getting hold of one of these and would like to know is there any compatability with any other models which might be easier to get hold of?

Hi,
I have joined this forum as I have always wanted a 400/4 from when I was young but couldn't afford one. After more years than I like to remember as a non-bike rider, I would love to actually own one. I am a complete novice when it comes to mechanics and would like to know if it is feasible for someone with no knowledge (or specialist tools) could restore one?
The only bikes I've seen for sale are restored and selling for
