Today I'd like to put the motor back in to my CL450. I have the service manual (thanks to HondaTwins members for that) and it says put the motor in from the left side in. It doesn't say much more than that other than how to fit the ground cable on (do I need to sand off the powdercoat where...

So here she is. picked up for $600. What do you guys think for what it is? Definitely needs some attention. and has 11K on it. I'd like to get the mechanics going well before I start customizing into the badass scrambler I envision. Fires up with the starter but carbs need cleaning and sync...

See image below. Keep in mind, it's just the right cylinder. The left cylinder plug is good. AND I checked compression just after pulling this and it was 160psi so I'm hoping there is no damage to the piston/walls in this cylinder causing oil to enter the combustion chamber... Thanks!

I have a 1968 Honda Scrambler cl450k1 in South Jersey with a clear New Jersey Title. It has sat with indoors for over ten years drained. Prior to this I installed new tires and it ran nice. The speedometer and tachometer cluster were from a different motorcycle when I obtained it. So the true...

Hey Everybody, I've been using this website enough that I figured I should probably actually become a member and join the club. I'm a new motorcycle rider. I've started a little later than probably most of the people here (age 29). At the beginning of the summer, I purchased a 1972 Honda CL...

1969 CL450 with Keihin carbs. Starts, idles and runs fine. However, when trying to adjust the carbs, turning the idle air bleed screw on the right carb has no effect, even going from totally screwed in to almost falling out. The same screw on the left carb adjusts normally. Could it be an air...

I'm new to my bike and just opened the air cleaner case covers for the 1st time. The bottom of the filters (foam Uni filters) have a fair amount of oil in the bottom. Is this normal? Should I be cleaning the filters out on a regular basis? Not sure if it matters but it's on both sides. Much...

Gang, just signing on here. I am new to motorcycles in general and have been an owner of my 72 CL450 for almost a year. I'm in love. I have a hard time riding in cars now-a-days and spend my time daydreaming of long distance trips on 2 wheels. Look forward to learning from you all as I restore...
