Honda-SOHC

Welcome

Well this post saved me asking about my noise as the OP could have been written by me about a similar noise coming from my engine in the same circumstances.

I understand it’s engine out and split the cases to renew primary chain and Cush rubbers but can the cases be split without dismantling the top end? I.e. can the engine be turned upside down and the bottom case lifted off?

Welcome. Get it all sorted for the nice weather

Hello and welcome to the forum. Nice looking bike. Hopefully, as said already, we’ll have another nice summer and you’ll get some miles on it.

BITD, a friend and I were miles away from home on our motorbikes. He was on a 500 Four, with a pillion passenger, and I was on my CB250. He got a rear puncture. We parked up, removed the rear wheel using only the supplied tool kit, and I lay in the sun whilst he and the passenger took the wheel into the nearest town, on my bike, to get the puncture fixed. They weren’t away that long and upon return we refitted the wheel and continued our journey. I don’t recall it being a difficult task taking off or putting on. Also, I’ve never thought it difficult doing it today on my 500 four. Sye, I’m just wondering what made you angry about removing your rear wheel today?

Regarding the exhausts lining up, is it both sides that are not lining up or just one side? I ask because on the left hand side, I had a devil of a job, before I realised I had the exhausts routed wrong with respect to the side stand. Once I realised that, they lined up easily.
