    Hello all. Just picked up a gem of a 79’ CB400. Currently producing no spark and I have found the stator to be at fault (or so I believe). When tested with a meter, the low speed circuit shows infinite resistance (open circuit) if anyone has a stator for sale or can refer me to someone you know...

I got a set of useable bags from a guy at the flea market, he was selling everything he had because he dumped his bike. Trying to see if these are sitting correctly, or will have...

    Hello: I'm Mac, live in Ohio, USA. I recently bought a 1978 Honda CB400A Hawk Hondamatic as a winter project / revival. The bike has only 1,790 miles on it and was stored inside since 1982 (the last year it was tagged). Lots of dust, mice nests, and rust everywhere. Engine spins easy. Missing...

    Hey all, just bought my first bike today. It comes with odd bars, that are in the spacers of the upper triple clamps? sorry if it sounds confusing, still learning what to call every part.

    Hi all, recently traded my 1980 CB250 Superdream for a similar-aged CM400T. I like the styling, the quality of the build and the extra cc (obviously). Seems to start very easily, which was the main reason I wanted to change. Removed all the luggage clutter (panniers, rear luggage holder and...
  9. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    Hey everyone so I have a 1978 CB400T “2” and this damn thing won’t pull through my rpms and bogs hard after 1/2 throttle until it dies if I keep it WOT. Low end power is there and goes great. And I am familiar with the “correct” way to pull these apart and clean them, I did read the forum on how...

    So I just recently purchased a 1981 CB400. The bike did not have a title when I got it, and being new to honda street bike I took the sellers word. I called my local dmv to make sure it was not reported stolen and it checked out ok. That being said I am having conflicting vin results. My dmv and...

    Hi everyone My '82 CB400N somehow lost all electric connecting over winter. When turning the key in the ignition there's no response whatsoever. No dash lights, no head/tail lights, nothing. I've had the bike safely stored in the garage over winter, unplugged the battery and kept in on charger...

    My son recently got a job and had been saving for a bike. I bought a CM400e a few weeks ago for me and him, but he was anxious to spend all that money he's making at McDonalds. He was all over Craigslist looking at all sorts of junk he could afford. I talked him out of all of it, until he...

    Bike: '79 Honda CB400 TII Hawk Background: I've been having idle issues lately so I'm doing a carb clean and consequentially a rebuild because why not. I figured since I was going through all of that anyways, I should go ahead and rejet the carbs (from stock) for a new set of mufflers (stock...
