Hello all! So the issue I'm having now is that despite the battery being just charged, when I turn the key in the ignition, none of the lights turn on and the kickstarter nor the electric start are doing diddly. Let me give a bit of history with the bike: ---- I bought the bike online from...

Hi there, I've recently completed a top end rebuild and have gone to set the points timings however I can't seem to get any spark at all. I've used a voltmeter to check that I get electrical signal all the way to the end of the wire that runs from the condenser to the contact breaker assembly...

Hey Guys! New here. Bought this awesome '74 CB450 a few months back here in Atlanta and haven't gotten her going yet. Replaced a bunch of things like the battery and the coils and condensers etc. I get every single thing in the electrical system to work except the spark plugs. I think it may...

I recently changed the battery on my newly acquired 1975 cb500t and I noticed smoke coming from an electrical connector. I've since identified the source as the rectifier/regulator, but while searching I saw this little box dangling down under the electrical compartment. Any idea what it could be?

Hey all new to the forum but glad to be here, I got a 78 Cb400T hawk the other day in great condition, everything was working fine. Two weeks later my battery dies, the thing doesn’t run at all and I replace it ( I’m using lithium ion because the person I got it from stripped everything and...

I just bought an old 1982 450 nighthawk. It was in great condition for its age and runs but I have an issue with the ignition that makes it pretty much unridable. The key needs to be held in just the right way to get it running. I figured the best and fastest way to deal with it would be just...

Hey, I'm new to this and this seemed like a decent post to start with. I recently picked up a 76 cb360T that I'm in the process of restoring and my turn signals are toast. I was wondering if any of you guys had some experience with cheap aftermarket turn signals. another thing I'm considering...

I bought a CL175 this summer. The bike ran well with no problems, but after being away for a couple weeks I went to start the bike and nothing... No lights would even turn on. I went first and fully charged the battery. (I did this out of my shed with the battery still fully connected to the...

Hello, so i was having sparking issues on the left side and noticed the leads were fried so i replaced both coils with new caps and spark plugs. The weird thing is that after i installed them they were both giving spark and that was awesome, but when I went back the next day to go for a ride, I...

Hi Guys I'd like to know if anyone has had experience with fitting an old school Nippon Seiki Speedo (from an older honda model) on a 1979 Honda CB400N/T? Im really close to buying one because I think they are the most beautiful speedometers I've ever seen.. Thanks! Magel

So I picked up a 1980 CM400T for very very cheap. I plan to get it running right and bob it. After cleaning the plugs I was luck enough to get it compression started, though as expected, it ran poorly. I plan to clean and re-tune the carbs tonight, but there are a couple of problems I'm not sure...
