Re: CM400C Cafe Garage Build - Lots of progress New Teaser photos!
looks great, how did you mount the rear fender to the frame after you chopped it? What are you doing about your license plate?
Found the issue. I believe it has to do with the 61a jet needle.
I did the washer mod on the jet needle and completely fixed the problem. Still can't believe it worked.
I have a 1982 honda cm450e it seems no matter which gear I am in, if i crack the throttle open half way the bike seems to bog and kind of hit a "flat spot" if I continue to open the throttle all the way the bike seems to come alive again and blasts off. Any ideas on where I should start looking...

First on my list of purchases:
Clip ons
a new seat
intake pods
Anyone have any experience with purchasing the above products for a cm450? If so, any info/links would be greatly...
cool thanks, I went ahead and bought one while at lunch. The guy I puchased the bike from said he bought a new battery not too long ago, could there be something that is draining the battery? If so any ideas on where I should start looking?
Bought new plugs and the sparkplugs won't spark after cranking the kickstart. The old plugs also reeked of gasoline. Judging by that and the gauge cluster severely dimming after multiple kickstart attempts I'm almost positive it's the battery. Also tried push starting it and it started for...
So i recently purchased an XS750 and it was alittle tricky to start but I could get it done. Mind you, the electric starter does not work and I have to kickstart the engine. So yesterday I was driving down the highway and started to lose power and I ran out of gas. Filled it back up but now for...
