Hello all,
I am very new at these vintage Japanese bikes, however over last weekend I picked up a very fresh 1975 CB360T which has almost no rust, starts at first kick and etc.. with 18,000 miles on it. It looks like it has been well taken care of from the previous owner.
Here is my question: when it is idling, it has to idle between 1,800rpm ~2,000rpm , anthing below the motor will die. I think it is rather high but I'm not sure if it is normal for a bike this old.
The engine also makes a lot of ticking sound and i'm guessing i need to do value adjustment.
with these two things mentioned, is there a way to lower the idling rpm without motor shutting off? Are these two things related in anyway? what do i have to replace?
Any input will be very appreciated. The bike does run like a champ through all the gears which i'm very happy about.
thank you, will look forward for your answers.
