So ive got a little chatter coming from the head of my bike, I thought it was the valves at first cus the maintenance is every 2000km or so, so i re-did those, "adjusted" the cam chain tensioner (untightened and retightened the bolt) but it still makes a chatter at idle. Does anyone know how...

Is it just me, or do 90% of people on the roads have no clue at all what hand signals mean? I get honked at at least twice every time i go out for a ride... I dont have turn signals on one of my bikes, but i ALWAYS use hand signals when im making turns. Either people give me a lot of room...

So i finally got some 6v LED bulbs for my signals, went out and bought a new electronic flasher, and now im having problems... I read online that you can use a 12v flasher relay and it will work fine, but somethings messed up on mine... When i turn the signals on, all 4 corners light up and...

Anyone got any lines on cheap-ish smaller displacement Hondas, or have one they want to sell themselves? Looking for a new project since i decided to go full resto on my 450, now im looking for something thats a bit beat and i wont feel bad cafe'ing... Craigslist and Kijiji are ridiculous right...

Anyone know where i can get some LED bulbs to replace the incandescents in my CB125T? Its a 6V electrical system. I want to replace most of the the bulbs with LED's, because at night the charging system cant keep up with the brake light, head light and blinkers all on at the same time. I went...

So i was on my way to work on my CB450, bike was running good, all of a sudden i come around a corner and the bike backfires onces, then stalls. I clutched in, pulled over, tried to kick it. Felt like it was locked up, so i called a towtruck. While i was waiting i pulled the plugs, didnt see any...

Im having a hell of a time with my 450. The right cylinder is running rich no matter what i do. Ive bought a rebuild kit, ive torn down the carb at least 10 times, checked the points, checked timing, checked for air leaks, bought a jet kit... everything. Im starting to think maybe the carb...

So it looks like a need a rebuild kit for one of the carbs on my 450. Anyone know where to get one locally? I need the full kit with the needles, mainjet and needle jet, etc. I checked TO Cycle salvage and they dont have it. Trying to avoid ordering online because i really dont want to wait...

Ok so i finally get around to tuning my carbs on my cb450 once and for all today (or at least, for the next few months). Got the left one done, no problem, pull the plug its nice and tan. Go to do the right one, and i cant dial in the setting. When i turn the pilot screw completely in, thats...

Ok, so im finally sick of tuning my new bikes carbs by ear. I built a manometer last year and got spoiled big time ;D So i want to install some sync ports on the carb boots, any ideas on how the best way to go about this is? I tried searching here and on google but could only find one guy who...

Anyone local to toronto have an extra drain bolt for a 450 lying around? I need one asap, someone left the gasket off of mine and its welded itself to the pan. Mechanic stripped the head trying to get it off, so my option now is chisling it out. Saw a couple on ebay but theyre either 50 dollars...

Was browsing around on ebay and i noticed quite a few of the listings for the CL450 pipes also mentioned CL350, so i searched for CL350 and found the same... Are these pipes the same? Seems to me they wouldnt be but im not sure...

Ok so i finally got my bike in perfect running shape and wouldnt you know it, something else happens... I took it out last night just to make sure everythings running ok. It was running fine for about 30 minutes, and then i started getting this weird mid-throttle miss/hesitation/slight...

I know this is a long shot, but im looking to trade my CB450 exhaust for a CL450 exhaust (or similar scrambler style). On mine, the chromes pretty decent, theres a dent on the left muffler right where it narrows down, about 2 inches long, and on the right side theres a dent in the same spot, but...

Ok so the last thing i had to do with my cb450 before its street ready was dial in the carbs. I had them off and cleaned them all up, nice and shiny. Both pistons drop at the same time when the carbs are off the bike, they arent sticking and not getting hung up on anything. After i put them back...

Sorry for another post, but im stuck. Trying to adjust the valves on my cb450 and it seems no matter what i do, i cant take out the slack. Ive had the cam in multiple positions, looked at both my manuals and i still cant figure it out. If i turn the adjustment knobs, the feeler gauge gets stuck...

So today was the first day i actually had my CB450 out on the road since i got it. I was on my way to get a safety cert. After a couple blocks, i realised i couldnt find neutral/first. The rest of the gears click in fine, but going into neutral or first from second gear was an issue. I got to...

So my renewal is coming up and i bought a new bike a few weeks ago, so the last couple of days have been spent on the phone with various insurance companies around ontario. I first thought i was going to stick with my broker because the quote he gave me for this year was good (525 at renewal for...

I bought a tank off ebay, its solid inside and out, but i couldnt tell from the picture its got a HUGE gash type dent near the front of it, that runs far enough back its gonna mess up my plans for knee dents. Whats the easiest way to go about pulling these out? I had 2 ideas: 1) Get a metal bar...

So im looking at getting a set of short mufflers for my CB450, because the stock exhaust pipes are going to get in the way of my rearsets. Looking around on ebay, a lot of them have that strap that would let you mount them to the stock location. Do i need to do this? Or will the header pipes be...
