Hey everybody, I'm Caleb from the Richmond, VA area. I've never been involved with motorcycles much, but have always wanted to be.

I just recently received my wife's grandfather's CB360T. Looks to be in decent enough shape. My mother in law thinks there may have been a transmission problem though. Was wondering if anyone had any advice on where to begin, or if I should just lay into it and start breaking the bike down.

See if you can get it running.
Put it up on the center stand, rotate the wheel and see if the gears shift.

Change the oil.
Make sure the fuel in the tank is cleaned out and not all gunky.
Get a new battery.
Install new spark plugs.
Time the ignition.
Put fuel in tank, or use an external fuel tank (a bottle with a line connected to it)
Start it up.

Then start taking it apart if you so desire.

Welcome! I wish someone could give me a bike.... Good for you and looks in good shape to. Before you do anything to it, I would go through this checklist:

This is perfect. May sound silly, but I feel much better having a "plan of attack" now, rather than just diving in.

Thanks for the info

Thanks! I've now at least got the beginnings of a plan. Can't wait get this project going.

Looks like a neat project! There is a very active CB360 community here, and as you start getting down into the details, be sure to post to the respective forums and we will be glad to help. Welcome!
