I've run into some repeating issues with the starting system on my 360 and wanted to see if others have run into the same things and if there are fixes that I and others should be aware of. I figure I can document some of the issues and fixes here for others to reference in the future. If you...

looking for a new starter clutch housing for my CB360. Mine has dents in it from the pistons pushing on the outer housing so it doesnt work well anymore. I learned that the 350 and 360 use the same clutch housing so either would work. There are some on ebay but everyone sells it with the starter...

I had a price alert set up for these for a couple years. I guess this is the lowest they’ve gone for in years. These are the “good” pod filters for the cb360. The ones crazyPJ recommends. I already have a set so no use to me but hopefully someone here is in the market for them K&N RC-1820...

I've gone through 3 kickstart ratchet guides now. What am I doing wrong?? they keep cracking in the "armpit" of the guide portion that pulls the ratchets apart. I've checked each time and I'm putting everything together in the correct sequence. This time, I got the bike running and immediately...

Hey all. I'm really hoping someone here has experience with the little bikes (70s, 90s, etc). I'm having some trouble getting my big bore & cammed ST90 to run right and I really want to get it running well so I can go riding with my wife, who just got a new Ruckus. I decided to post this because...

I'm having some really weird charging problems with my 360 that I'm hoping someone could help with. When I start it up, charging seems fine. But after riding about 1/4 mile down the road the volts start to drop. It goes down to ~12.5 vdc and doesnt climb with revs and stays that way. I have a...

Having issues with my cb360 build (leaking head gasket) and I'm considering getting some help from someone who has the right tools to make sure the surfaces will seal properly. Wondering if there's any Charleston area shops or people that know what they're doing and have the right tools to work...

Hi All, I made a little cheat sheet for my references so I didnt have to keep sorting through the manual for numbers. I searched and didnt find anything similar here so figured I'd share it here and if anyone has more to contribute I'd be happy to update it. So far all the numbers are pretty...

Freshly rebuilt 378cc 360 with new harness is very hard to get running. Need help! When it does start running I have to keep the throttle fully open or it stalls. It never gets above idle rpm range. Noticed some fuel splashing out the back of the carbs when it's running as well. So I thought...

I posted this in the simplified wiring diagram thread but figured that was the wrong place. After a busy year so far getting married and moving to South Carolina, I'm getting really close to finishing my bike. Its literally coming down to the wire. sorry, bad joke :) I was wondering if you...

I bought a new drive chain for my CB360 and it is wider outside to outside than the stock chain by a few milimeters. How do I know if the chain is too wide? the motor still isnt in the frame yet so I cant just hook it up to see if it rubs against anything. I could, however, test fit it on the...

I've been doing a little contemplating on how I'd mount a rear fender to the swingarm of my CB360 and so far I've decided on a design that seems like it should work. I'm using a fiberglass fender so the mount doesn't need to support much weight. But I do understand that it will be subject to a...

I have run across a couple toggle switches that only advertise amperage at 120v ac. One I found (below) advertises 5 amps @ 120v ac. Is there a way to convert the amps to 12v dc? Forgive my ignorance when it comes to electronics. I searched online and couldn't find anything. Here's the switch...

Hi all. I have this CB360 that I'm rebuilding and converting to the infamous PJ378. I got my head and cylinder work done by a really good local machinist who has specialized in motorcycle head/cylinder work for about 30 years and works on a LOT of old bikes. Since we just did all this work on...

I decided I wanted to be able to do most of the clean-up work on the parts that are going to get paint/powder so I took the plunge and bought a syphon bead blaster. I was considering buying a blasting cabinet but the more portable ones don't seem to have a lot of room in them. the few I looked...

NO LONGER NEEDED. THANK YOU. I'm looking for a CB360 crankshaft in good condition. Mine seems to have decided to chew up some metal so I don't want to put it back in the motor. There are plenty on eBay but I'd rather buy from someone on here if I can. A lot of them seem to have a decent amount...

What's happening: With battery fully charged, I'll ride for 15-20 minutes and my battery will be dead. I can't figure out what it is. Help! It's getting nice out, finally! What I did prior to problem: 1. Installed a kohler combo regulator rectifier unit. Connected the existing wires from the...

I was riding this afternoon and when i started slowing down the bar that connects the controlls to the rear brake snapped and wrapped around the axle resulting in no rear breaks! Also, the other larger connecting bar got disconnected and i lost the bolt that holds that to the brake. Thank god...

Been workin on this bike for a little while and keep getting deeper and deeper into it so I decided I might as well start a thread on it. I bought this bike about 6 months ago bone stock and in great condition. but knowing me, I can't keep my hands off my toys so I've been learning how to work...

I need to check/true my front wheel but I need to take the axle off to get it on the stand. How do you take out the axle? Will I need to deal with wheel bearings and all that if I take it out? I would optimally like to be able to take it out, true the wheel, and put it back in again but if I...
