Pretty much wrapped with what I think I need to do on the bike. Reset the valves because they were a little tappety, quiet now. Caltric gasket on...
Excellent, thanks. It does feel like a pivot, not a side-to-side wear, so I’m hopeful. -Ed 1972 CL350 1985 VF700F
Any idea why the front left caliper might have play? My only guess was something to do with the anti-dive. Changed the fork oil recently,...

COVID close contact had me isolating for a few days, but back in the garage last night and made good progress. - New fuel hoses...
Girlfriend got the COVID, so I was on a self imposed quarantine, hence no weekend work, but all looks clear. Hope to be at the garage tonight....
I didn’t know about this website. It’s absolutely fantastic, and significantly cheaper than partzilla/cmsnl. Well heard. I’ll pick up an OEM...
re: the thermo switch. I found an old post that listed some models of replacement, but none seem to be made anymore (comment 13). I've found...
Maybe I’m going real basic here, but how do you make sure you’re at TDC on the compression stroke? Roll until you’re in about the right spot,...
It was the alternator cover that was stuck - the engine is free. Some notes from today: Rear brake is still dripping fluid. Not sure if it’s the...
I wound up drilling and tapping one of the cover holes for an M8 screw and used that as a puller. The gasket is an absolute mess, will need to...
Trying to set valves but this alternator cover is *frozen* on. All bolts out, they were seized in fairly well… but this thing is cemented on....
A) you two are fast 2) yes, all bending will be done off the bike Third) noted about the shifter. Weird they would be so different. Lastly) I...
Spent time with the hydraulics today. Santa dropped this off: [IMG] Great concept - a vacuum pump for the brake abs clutch bleeds, ostensibly...
Ok: - Oil changed, valvoline 10w40 dino with enough zplus to bring the zddp to 1,500ppm - oil filter changed, PO had a different Honda filter on...
Squirrelman - great point. Going through the bike so far I’ve been surprised at the condition of all the rubbers so far, in a good way. Straycat...
Question about carb kits for these bikes: Honda still makes the gasket set for the low low price of $40 per ($160 total) Chinese sets go on eBay...
Excellent. Will do. Are they loose balls like the CBs, or a raced bearing? Any point to replacing them outright instead of regreasing if they’re...
Great. I’ll find some new hose to patch between A and B Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
