Title: Lurking no more!
Post by: Fogdevil on April 27, 2016, 10:06:52 AM

Hello everybody
Many years ago when I was 18 and at a party I saw a 400/4 driven through the back door,into the kitchen and then out the front door via the lounge.
Ever since then I thought "that's the bike for me!"
Now I've got one-but the wife says it has to stay in the garage.
My problem is-from the tilted/slewed position I was in at the time, I did not notice which side the rear spindle was inserted from.Brake side as per the parts manual and set up instructions or drive side as per Haynes.
Any help appreciated
Cheers
Fogdevil
PS I think it was a blue 400/4

No, it goes in from the sprocket side, otherwise the stock silencer may obstruct it's fitting and removal.

Welcome to the mad world of the SOHC, DO NOT believe a Haynes, Clymes, Honda workshop manual or superseded part numbers ;D
