Nice early example , not many around like yours.
That workshop manual graphic isn't too clear where the clutch cable guide attaches.... the breather cover RH rear bolt retains it... the guide has a folded edge I think? to locate it against the cover.
All the 400/4's I remember working on had it fixed there from new. Anorakish I know !
Trigger:
I have always known 45467-329-000 to be connected to the coils. The whole point in this cable guide is to keep it away from the heat of the engine. Have seen one in the states on the breather bolt and wondered why.
Clem2112:
I just noticed you still have the elusive harness strap that hooks onto the frame in front of the Left coil.
Many restorers would pay good money for one of those..... I used a couple of wide cable ties to improvise !
Rear sprocket must be the original ... cover plate is on my list of bits to find.

Hi Clem,
'That elusive little strap' was quite easy to find as I remember, and NOS / £19+ postage (you gotta be keen).

Last work on my bike was de-riveting the sprocket guard, restoring, & re-fixing to a new sprocket. Glad to have that, never see them for sale anywhere.
And I'm beginning to thing the clutch cable guide does indeed attach to the coils... the folded locating tab doesn't quite make sense / orientate nicely when using the breather bolt.
Furthermore, the parts diagram "suggests" as Trig reckons...
Tom... I HOPE you've not been giving me duff info on this; I'll have been riding a bike with a clip in the wrong place!!! Sacre bleu!
Woodside:
Apologies to everyone I never meant to turn this fun loving banter strewn forum into a rivet counting and anal perfection hunting owners club
.... more akin to the norton owners club???
I will admit the clip does appear to. give a straighter route when connected to the engine but as trigger says why would you have a clip to keep a cable away from the engine strapped directly to it
..and the ally tab does make sense on the coil bracket...
Is it possible that a mechanic while doing the pdi check or even during a service thought he had a better idea than Mr Honda and moved the clip and quite honestly no one was the wiser?
