Hello ive got a 71 CL450, and it was running fine for a while then one day it started doing this weird thing where upon turning it on it idles crazy high as if im pulling the throttle, then if I clutch in it idles even higher, I can go with with clutch pulled all the way in when im in 1st gear...

Ive had this 71 cl450 for a little while now and have always had these shifting issues but now they are getting bad. There is no "spring back" when shifting down into 1st gear from 2nd. I have to literally grip it with my foot and pull it up a little bit then force it down. I cant just shift...

Hey how's it goin, I recently bought this starter switch from Dime City http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-electronic-parts-black-handlebar-mounted-headlight-on-off-starter-switch-12-0203.html I Hooked it all up as it should be...

I connected the two leading from the "starter" and then the two leading from the "kill switch" and that's all. I didnt know what to connect the kill switch too so I connected it to what the Wiring Diagram called the "Dimmer Switch" assuming that was the same thing.

Hey how's it going, I jsut bought a couple new coils for my 71 cl450. I was wondering how to wire them. I have the diagram in front of me but I dont know what to connect to the positive and what to connect to the negative poles of each.

I was hoping i wouldnt have to do that but, seems like thats my only option at this point thanks :p

So i bought a cl450 off someone and i decided to redo the wiring since it was falling apart. Apparently who ever had it before had done a bunch of custom wiring and used different colors for everything. What is the best way to go about fixing all of this?

How do I know which are high amps and low?

Probably a dumb question, but I cant seem to find any old school bullet connectors, can I just use more modern ones to wire up my new switches?

I some how seem to have lost a few engine bolts for the right and left crank case if any one has any and is willing to sell let me know! ;D
