Hello, First of all sorry in advance for my bad English I'm from Germany and not really into posting on forums :) I have signed up to this forum because I have a weird issue with my Dads '81 CM400T which is really annoying and I don't know how to solve it. After pretty much standing still for...

I didn't do a keyword search but figured you guys might be able to help me on the best aftermarket or simply replacement carbs purchasable. What's a good site or seller that would ship to me? I have about 250-300$ to work with and am looking to install it asap. TIA

Haha well I decided to drive 2 hours to Austin Texas to pick up a bare bones 79 Honda cm400 frame is chopped, doesn’t run, no instrument cluster, leaking forks, no battery the guy converted it into a capacitor. That’s just scratching the surface. I’ve never worked on a bike before but if anyone...

So my buddy bought a 81 cm400 custom for cheap, didn’t run. We figured it was carb. So we cleaned the carb and did a rebuild. Starts up fine but revs kinda crappy. First time for both of us rebuilding a carb. When you ride the bike it seems to not have much get up and go with any sort of load on...

Hello. I am new to the site, but I have already found it helpful. Thanks. I am on my 2nd project bike, 1981 CM400c. It was in fairly good shape and running well, but not maintained or cleaned very well. I am doing a lot of work and painting. Hopefully, I will get it running even better than...

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...

So, super new to moto wrenching (I've been a bicycle mechanic for years, so I am mechanically inclined, but moto is a whole new bag of worms). Looking to better understand what to look for in buying a stainless braided front brake line. I have no idea what's compatible with what years/models...

Hi Everyone, I have a nice little CM400 that I recently tuned up, adjusted valves, changed gasket and adjusted cam chain tension. I may have made a mistake at some point because it seems that the tensioner bolt went back inside the engine too much and now it is too short to put the nut onto...

Hello everyone, I’m from Vancouver, BC Canada. Pleasure to meet you all! I just bought a 1981 Honda cm400t, it was a project bike for the past two previous owners. Which means that it has got some work that needs to be done on it. I found hondatwins while I was searching for resources to learn...

Anyone find a set of compatible aftermarket air intake boots (rubber tube between carburetor and airbox) that fits either a CM400A and/or CM450A with stock carbs and airbox? Honda sold 'em with the airbox on these bikes, which means no separate part number for me to search. Apologies if this...

Hello everyone! I am new to the forums, and motorcycles in general. I gained my licence a few months back and bought a CM400T.At the time it was riding fine after I bought a new battery and changed all the oil out, besides a loud ticking noice, what I assumed were the valves. However, my father...

Seems like i may never. Thought id have some fun building a custom in my spare time. Pick up on that runs, mod it, tweak it... have a little fun like when I was a kid. But, it's turned into a he'll storm with my limited time to work on it. I've posted some carb issues previously and since...

I'm doing my very first bike tear-down and build on a bike that a buddy of mine practically gave me. So, I decided that I want to try to do as much as I possibly can on this bike by myself over the next few years in order to teach myself and have fun. Engines have always intimidated me, but I...

Hey all, Looking for a seat in good condition for my 1981 CM400 Custom. I have a parts bike torn apart also that i can trade parts off of if your more into that sort of thing ;) Looking for something relatively close to Colorado as shipping cost a fortune these days! If what your looking for...

This is for the 1980 400E, so it's got the perch for the front brake (drum brakes) lever, the kill switch and the starter switch. It's in good condition. The wires and brake lever switch are good. PM for pics. I'd rather just text pics than get them on my computer.

Hello! For the first time in 16 years I have a two wheeled project. It's an '80 Honda CM400T. It's been sitting since '99 and it's in decent shape. The price was right and I knew it would make a nice cafe style scooter as soon as I saw it. With a bit of luck, and some help from folks here, I'll...

I've got a 1980 CM400t that I'm putting back together, and I've not been able to source a replacement right side (battery side) cover for less that $150. I know somebody out there has a lead on one of these, and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
