Long winter... not much done[emoji16] After some commuting to work I had to do something. Moved the electronics and started to fit a CR750 seat. I’ll place the battery under the swingarm. So next week I’ll fabricate at box.

Think this is will be one of the last rides this year.. a bit cold riding in 9 degrees (celsius), and it aint gonna be warmer until april..
So it’s soon time to sand the tank and paint it. A new seat is also high on the to do list..

My major problem is solved! It was a bad coil.
Still have som issues. I think it runs a bit lean. When I pull the clutch for a gear shift with a hot engine the rpm increase and then comes down.

Will check tank vents, but I think I have another odd thing. When I start it cold at full choke it has very low revs. If I push the choke in a bit it revs up alot. Push it in some more and I get more of an idle.
This weekend I'll measure float level and check float level with the clear tube method.
I've gotten some problems with my cb650.
Specs are:
Dyna S ignition
OEM coils with extra resistor
Pod filters
120 main jet
42 pilot jet
Mixture screw 1.75 turns out
My problem started with a clogged fuel filter. Changed to a new one. Then I drove the bike about one tank of fuel. Then i leaned...
Got my hands on a rear hub. Now it’s time to do some cleaning and alot of polishing. I have not yet decided on what front hub to use. But will somehow put on bigger brakes. So if it will be a SM hub or CB hub with adapted VFR750 (or similar) disc is not decided.

I’m about to order new rims and need some pros and cons regarding rear tire size. Front tire will be 110-120. My options are
18” 120-130 width
18” 150-160 width
17” 150-160 width
Pros for 130 is that I don’t need to offset the chain.
Pros for 150-160 is cool looks...
More pro/con?
How will...
Welcome nordic neighbor! CB:s in cafe form are a blast to ride! Looks like your fork tubes need some new chrome. Will you do a fork swap or use the old stuff? I'm going to send my tubes to Brook Suspension in UK. About £180 for both including shipping.
Got my license today! A 38 year old cafe racer gets some attention when all other bikes are MT/FZ07-kind of bikes. Did notice some things. Got a lot of skeptical comments about riding a really old bike for the license test, but proved them all wrong 8) Low clipons are not ideal for really slow...
Problem solved! It was severe lack of fuel... to small jet AND clogged fuel filter. No I have #120 main jet and free flowing fuel. Runs like a dream! :D
