Before going for a ride, and when kicking the start lever I noticed no bite, and so I drained the oil so I could then remove the side cover to inspect things. After removing all of the clutch plates...

    I’m a long time lurker of this forum and this is my first post. I have learned a lot from old posts and other peoples solved issues and I’m hoping for some advice I have a 1974 CB360 that runs great and even shifts great except when downshifting into first gear. I am having a frequent but...

    Does it have a kill switch? (Disregard the remainder, I figured it out to be a clutch problem. I'm trying to find info on that, don't see a fluid reservoir) I mean a secondary kill switch? Like if your kickstand is down. My bike will start and Idle like a champ, but as soon as I try to put it...

    Hi guys, I moved up to a 1969 Honda CB350 after fixing up a CB200. When I first got the bike it wouldn't idle, shift, and the carbs would overflow with fuel. So far I've rebuilt the carbs, tensioned the cam chain, set the valve clearance, along with the ignition timing. After the maintenance...

    I'm looking to replace the ~20year friction plates in the '72 CL175 K6 and I bought 5 Friction plates from Barnett. to replace the 5 Honda Friction plates I had. THe Barnett plates have a smaller Inner diameter which I think is good becuase that = more surface area in contact with the steel...

    I was "gifted" a '72 CL175 K6 by a friend and I'm just going through it to check out the condition. It has sat for a long time(10+ years). I opened up the clutch basket to find 4 plates + 1 Plate "B" and 5 friction plates. As far as I know that is normal. But the springs are way too short per...

    Hello, New (to me) owner of a '73 CB350G. After riding the bike for about two weeks I decided it was time to begin tearing down and rebuilding everything, as it seems that general maintenance went by the wayside over the last 46 years. Hoping to learn a lot along the way! Shameless plug that...

    I am having trouble with my CL350 clutch dragging, it's enough to slow the engine down and make shifting difficult on the center stand.
