Theres really no best answer for this type of question. Personally, I would just buy one of every jet size between the ones that are too rich and the ones that are too lean, then swap them out one at a time until you find the one that works best. If you want to save some money, you can just...

Hmm this sounds really strangely familiar to me... I had the exact same issue with my 450, spent 3 months trying to diagnose it. Final outcome? Microfracture in the main jet holder. Try this, run the bike, let it warm up until it starts to smoke and stumble (dont rev it), shut it down, then...

Could also be you're missing the c-clip that holds the selector shaft in the right position. Not 100% sure for the 350, but most hondas have a clip selector shaft which keeps it lined up. If this is missing, the shaft will slide out, preventing you from shifting gears. Solution is to either...

5.5mm fuel line can be bought from honda for a reasonable price, like a dollar a foot i believe. Also from garden equipment shops, its used in lawn mowers and stuff. Also most of the clear 1/4" fuel line has the right inside diameter and works properly, its a bit loose but i use tiny hose clamps...

Sweet, ill check that out, thanks very much PJ.

It is a twin, but its only got a single chain. I was told that other than the top end and the crank shaft it was very similar to the singles of the same era (early 80s). I could be wrong as theres not a lot of information on the bike, it was never sold in north america as far as im aware and ive...

Neither, its a single chain, like a tiny drive chain.

I was actually asking for more help. Im not clear on that part. I was under the impression that if the rocker arms are loose, you can set the valves then as thats what ive been told, and that if you accidentally set valves on overlap then the bike doesnt run. If its possible to set them on...

I dont feel like i could have set the valves on overlap, i checked to make sure the rocker arms were loose before i set them (same way i set them every other time). Would that be possible even if the rocker arm was loose? Would the bike even run properly if that was the case?

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...

The thick black cable grounds to the vertical frame post directly infront of the rear tire. This is how the factory set up is. In bolts on from the left side of the bike, there should be a hole there.

What tank is that? I really like it.

My turn signals havent had proper bulbs since i got the bike. I tried to switch to LED's but i have yet to be able to get them wired up correctly, and i couldnt find 6v incandescents in the proper wattage locally and I dont really feel like buying them online. Here in ontario you dont need...

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...

No problem. Had the same issue when i was looking for the left control for my 450 cus the mirror hole was busted on mine... couldnt find one. Then i realised that its exactly the same for almost every honda, found one for 15 bucks right away, off a 750.
