Thanks Mobius. It will definitely get painted along with a few other bits from the bike. Just wanted to make sure it was worth painting first.

Hey guys. I don't have much experience with two wheeled disc brakes so can you guys tell me if the "veins" on the exterior of this cb360 brake caliper are normal?

No intake mods. The OEM air filters have maybe 1000 miles on them. I'm even running the stock 2 into 1 exhaust with original 30ft muffler. Unless something shook loose inside the carbs in the accident, I'm thinking it has to have been something I touched when replacing parts (throttle cable...

I did. Strobe was right on. Could it be sticky clutch plates or maybe a crossed wire in the headlight bucket?

Reset timing, fired on first kick (when cold this time :)) and tested compression after the engine warmed up. 140 on the RT and 145 on the LT. I sprayed starter fluid around intake boots and verified there was no change in idle speed. Pulled out of the garage and it still fell on it's face...

So my little CJ360T lost to a Toyota Camry that felt yielding to oncoming motorbikes when turning left was too much an inconvenience. Only real damage was a bent left fork tube and handle bars (I grabbed every bit of brake I had so the impact was only around 25 miles an hour). Needed parts were...

Thanks PJ. I can see oil spinning off of the rocker shaft when I roll the throttle. After I let the bike idle a bit, I took it for a short spin (the same two laps that locked the engine up last time) and it is still running hot. I think removing the oil pump and opening the bottom half of the...

So, the top end has been rebuilt and she fires right up. The manual say if I leave the tappett covers off I should see oil splashing around after 10 seconds. Anyone have a idea of how much oil I would see? Very small droplets, heavy splashing? I verified all oil pathways were free and clear...

It appears the hunt is on then. Thanks for the Ampeg love. The cab in the avatar is the 410HLF. Thank god it has wheels. They at least get me to the stairs a little faster. Sonreir, Here is a better photo of the cam. I wasn’t sure if grove in the photo is supposed to be there. The lobes do...

PJ, I did not screw down the clutch cover and verified that it would not be possible to install the clutch cover if the gear is not in the right place. Finally got around to taking the head off last night. It appears the top end has been oil starved for some time. I'm pretty sure I already...

I used a new aftermarket gasket but couldn't get it to seal all the way. I made the mistake of using Permatex RTV black to remedy the oil leak. Of course I found several post warning against it's use AFTER I seized the engine. I have a NOS gasket coming in the mail. Will all liquid gasket...

So today, I removed the right side engine cover and clutch basket on my CJ360. The clutch plates were sticking, so I soaked them in clean oil (Rotella T 10w30) and re-installed. While the cover was off, I cleaned the oil filter centrifuge and the oil pick-up screen. I re-installed all parts and...
