Load test the battery because it seems like a faulty cell breaking down under load.
Or try another battery first if you've not got a tester.

Good luck

Which inside dia pipe do you need the measurements from?

Over in Austria for a coffee and cake to Bad Leofelden, then onwards to the old walled brewery towns of Freistadt and Weitra.

Decent temps in the low twenties for comfortable riding today,  last week's heat wave with temps over thirty was way too much for comfort.

Yes,

but not exactly addressing your question.
 

I bought a low mileage cylinder block with 300 type pistons from the USA, which replaced the 392 higher compression pistons and rust damaged cylinder block on my UK F1.

Every thing fitted OK and performance seemed similar.


Hope this helps.

Waiting for a ferry across the river Rhine in Germany.
You could have crossed at Remagen, the bridge is still standing!  ;D

Could have also stayed at the Little Britain Inn Hotel, nearby Remangen.

A missed photo opportunity...

Waiting for a ferry across the river Rhine in Germany.

Glad we arrive here after the heat wave, 25c now and acceptable for motorcycling.

CB350/400 / Re: Brake bleeder valve thread size?
« on: June 04, 2026, 06:04:13 PM »
I use them on other bikes.  It more convenient/faster than futzing around with vacuum or pressure bleeders on such small systems.  I have both and use the pressure bleeder for cars but I can bleed motorcycle brakes faster using the bleeder valve when you factor in the time it takes to get the vac or pressure bleeder out, set it up and then put it back away.

Never found a need for this on my 750, I normally just loosen the bleed nipple and let it gravity bleed without pumping the brake lever.
Tighten the bleed nipple when bubbles stop appearing and Bob's yer uncle.

Brake fluid change every 2 years is enough to keep any corrosion at bay. 


Good luck
