CB350/400 / Re: Electrical Failure

Thanks for all your replies. They all seem to be pointing me in a similar area, ignition switch & fuse holder. When I get some free time I will look at these and report back as it may help others. Of course the obvious solution is to stay away from yellow ones !

Thanks for the response. Yes the symptoms are as described. The bike starts after it has cooled down. I don't even get any life from the starter button when it fails.
I was thinking high temp failure but of what ? Your suggestion of fuse or holder seems to make sense as I have had problems with a previous 400/4 failing in this area, though not in the same manner as my current one. That was yellow too !

CB350/400 / Electrical Failure

I can start my 400/4 up on the button ,but after about 3 to 5 mins it stops with total electrical failure. No lights, no neutral lights no horn. Leave it for about 5 mins hey presto it starts on the button. If I ride off it will fail again whereupon I wait at the side of the road for electricity to return and off I go . Not a very good way to travel !
Battery is in good condition . I have checked the obvious eg earthing, battery connections and wiring damage but nothing immediately obvious.
Any suggestions(polite!) as to where to look/ check next
