haven't taken a video yet. I'll try to today.

Roger! And it's on the clutch plate side. And yeah, I realized after starting it up again that it's also there when it's not engaged (lever pulled in). Only time it's NOT there is in gear with wheel not moving.

I know this can't be an unusual problem? Does it sound like engine out?

Agreed on the dual rounds. Friend of mine has a 1989 FZR and he removed the fairing. I was so sad.

JDM bikes are super appealing to me, but parts for them are soooo much $$ https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcd/d/honda-vfr400r-ncpro-arm-65k/6302475354.html

I'm 100% with you. Been watching like a hawk on CL. My VF500F was only $700, which is MUCH more appealing.

If you got da money: http://seattleusedbikes.com/2017/04/05/fs-1989-suzuki-gsx-r750k-13240-original-miles-7899-00/ I stare at this thing every day.

No kidding. Good god.

Bump!

OK! Update: Changed the oil. The magnetic drain plug had a ton of shavings on it, but they were all super fine - no chunks. Mostly ended up looking like a paste. Took apart and reassembled the clutch basket. Nothing broken or wonky in any way. Took off the sprocket cover. Nothing loose or...

100% agreed. When you say "previous 7-10 years" do you mean 74-77 or 2010-now? Just wondering if they made them LESS packed over time? I have a set of new jets coming in for the bike and I am not looking forward to dealing with them. For an 80s bike that actually has a good dose of power and is...

I'm also in love with these bikes, and recently snagged this guy Quite affordable, though WAY less fun to work on than older bikes. Suddenly everything is packed in super tight and there's way more pieces to maintain (hydraulic clutch, disc brakes, etc). A total blast to ride, though, and way...

Yep! No shield here. Still have to pull the radiator to change spark plugs, which was really frustrating.

Hrmm. I'm not seeing the heat shield on the bike or in the manual. Any chance you could link a picture of one?

Awesome! I'll get on that asap

Hey all, My CB350 is rattling somewhere in the engine when the clutch is engaged. It goes away as soon as I pull the clutch cable in. I'm going to pull off the clutch cover this week and take a look around, just wanted to see if y'all had any experience with this and advice on places to start...

Sorry to bump, but that's really good to know! I've hit redline once, and the engine immediately cut out, so I'm guessing that I have a rev limiter (it's an 86 and they made some changes on that). I'm just gonna pick up a set of new jets, because it's still running wonky. Finally put a working...

Hey All, New weird problem with my CB350 - the engine makes a rattling noise when the clutch lever is not pulled in, but it goes away as soon as I pull it in. The sound is very similar to if the kick start is lowered while the engine is running - kinda a rattling/buzzing noise. Obviously I'll...

It was the carbs! The pilot jets were just a tiny bit clogged - still able to see through them, but the hole was a little bit too small. Cleaned those out and it runs! Just need to run some techron through the gas to hopefully wash the rest of it out

Roger. Am I crazy or is the vacuum switch not in the petcock - I drained the floats with the tank off and fuel still in the line, and the fuel didn't go into the bowls until I turned the bike over
