So I just picked up a CB350. From what I was told, it ran great when parked last summer. Fluids drained, and parked for approximately 3/4 of a year. Put a new battery in it, new fluids and fired it up. And of course, with my sitcom style life of everything being an issue, the engine is...

Im looking for an RD400 project bike. I'm in WI. email me if you know of one please!!! mschnickel@wi.rr.com

Thanks again for the suggestions, I think I'll try the deisel fuel idea next! So once I get the pistons free (hopefully) what are the standard things I will need to replace? Just gaskets? Or is there something else that I should do besides making sure all moving parts are clean and moving...

Thanks for the suggestions to just pull the motor and go from there. I realise that I will have to do that anyway, but it looked to me from everything I've read on this site, that it is best to try and free up the pistons while the motor is on the bike by rolling it back and forth after putting...

Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try before I crack open the motor? I acquired a 68' CB160 a couple of weeks ago that sat in a Wisconsin garage for about 25 years. Needless to say, the pistons are rusted stuck... I've sprayed a bunch of PB Blaster in the spark plug holes and in the...

Hey, any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I've got load of beer in my "magic" fridge that seems to fill up every time my friends come over on the weekends. I cant drink it for the next 88 days, I started a 90 day excersize and diet program on Monday... So any weekend you want to come...

I'm definately up for it, but would probably have to ride the F2. I still have some front caliper issues as well as some mis-firing issues to work out on the 360. This could take quite a while, as I dont really know what I'm doing (that and my friends ZX9R is in pieces all over my garage right...

So I tend to lurk the forums... I cant post from work, so I read alot. My name is Matt. I have a 76' CB360 that I traded a moped for last season. Looking to play with it this summer, and have become obessed (as most of the people are on this forum) with cafe bikes. Just wanted to thank all...
