Redex NJ? Didn't know that's still a thing. I may go for that. Is there any advice on how much to add to my 400's tank etc?

Lovely evening for a blat on the 400, ended up at Newhaven Harbour, smell of the damp grass as I rode along took me back to my early days on a bike, very evocative, fantastic! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Thanks folks, just the advice I needed. Nothing wrong with the bike, it uses no oil and doesn't smoke on start up. It's a beautiful thing, just my paranoia  ;D .

So keep it as it is then, but I might start an engine rebuild fund as nothing lasts forever.

Would be pleased to have a ball park estimate on the Labour costs of a rebuild job.

CB350/400 / What to do next?
« on: March 13, 2019, 08:17:19 AM »
Well, I have had the 400 for 18 months and I haven't missed a modern more powerful bike enough to buy another.  I have had plenty of fun days out on local roads so all good.

So this has led me to thinking about what about keeping the 400 as a daily rider and using it for a couple of longer trips.

When I got the bike it had been stored as part of a collection for 17 years, so it was really just an enhanced service to bring it back to life.

I would want to bring the 400 up to a known standard to reduce my "What's that rattle" paranoia, so some kind  of engine / carb rebuild would be preferred.

So has anyone had this work carried out and could give me an idea about costs, I am fine with oil, plugs etc, but don't have the knowledge/tools or space to do it myself. I love the bike and would want to keep it going, but still in regular use if you understand where I want to be with it.

TIA

Sad to say JHMC is now closed down. John retired a few years ago and Steve has now shut up shop. ☹
