Tried WD40. No joy. Put my 650 Bandit horn on and worked a treat. I can get hold of another locally, so that's the 'functioning' part of my horn saga horn sorted.

Have to say, it's nice I'm now down to these little niggly issues, with the bike now running lovely. Long may that continue... :D

I even find an excuse to go into the garage, to just look at it! Can't believe I've finally got one and it's turned out to be more than I hoped for. Lucky chap   :)👍

If it's the actual horn not working try taking it apart by following the method described by Ash in a couple of his previous posts.
I had a 400/4 horn that wouldn't work and was set on binning it. I tried the method described by Ash and it worked. You have to use a large jubilee clip around the body and carefully prise up the flange to release the two halves but once you've done that the hard part is done.
I can't find the thread link (I'm on a packed tube train) but it's out there, possibly in the 400/4 section.
It's worth trying, nothing to loose and everything to gain for the sake of the price of a jubilee clip.

I went for a little ride this afternoon to Colchester and bagged a Suzuki Bandit horn for £10 from a breakers' yard. Looks very similar, with identical electrical connections. Bolts onto the CB's bracket and is plenty loud enough. It had some minor rust on the front face, but is in better condition than my Honda's, and it works. I've sanded off the paint and rust, rust treated it and will spray it up tomorrow and jobs a good-un. This one will go on the Bandit, as my Bandit's horn was pristine and is already on the Honda.  :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I will keep the original horn just in case. I have a growing 'just in case' box...

I'm looking for a small lump of suitable black plastic, to see if I can shape a replacement horn button.
