So I was looking back at this old post, and was shocked when I saw "Aimless Moto". You're the guy with the KZ400 on YouTube!!!!! I'm currently working on a '76 KZ400 and you're bike is 100% my inspiration (I even bought that same seat cover haha). But yeah, this CB650C project is on hold until...

So, I'm looking around for a replacement ignition switch for my 1976 KZ400. For some reason, it seems that it is tough to find anything not heavily used for a '76. Does anyone know of a place that makes replacements? I also see a lot of affordable replacements on eBay, but they seem to be for...

I didn't even think about cranking amps. I'm reading 12V on the terminals with an ohmmeter. I even tried using the battery from my R6 and still no luck. But I will look into the cranking amps of the battery and requirements. Thank you

Thanks man! The starter actually does whirr and spin but it is only for a split second. Even if I continue to press and hold the start button. I'm not sure if that is typical or a sign of a bad starter?

Hello everyone, been a member here for a little over a year just reading and learning. However, with the weather warming up I finally took the plunge and bought my first project. A 1981 Honda CB650C for $700. Also, I want to start this build thread because I'm hoping it will motivate me to take...
