CB350F CB400F Valve Adjustment - Details Other Videos Miss
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 4 měsíci
The CB350F and CB400F need their valves adjusted just like any other bike, but that doesn't mean they have the same clearances or service intervals. Make sure you're not leaving power on the table or wasting time. Grab your wrenches and grab your feeler gauges!

Is that thing had reed valve or nah ?
@@ALIGwedew62 the kawi triples are piston ported. Used to be Reed conversions, but hard to come by unless you want to do custom work!
I melt my speakers to this when im not riding my 400.
How about fitting euro handlebars or do you peple tie your shoes whilst upright
I am pretty tall and the bike is pretty small so I am inclined to leave it be, I also dont care for pushing the control wires thru the bars enough. That can be the job of the next owner, though I certainly understand the appeal of the lower bars and rear-set pegs. Honda should have known better than to think this would convince Americans to buy a small bike haha.
Am I tripping or does she sound a bit "cam chainey"?
It microphone is mounted to the underside of the rear fender for this video, so the drive chain gets picked up
Sooo sloooooooooow
😍
Nice job. Can you please tell me, what was the blue paste in the jar that you were using to polish the wheel rims? Thanks.
It's called Blue Magic metal polish, it's at most auto part stores in the USA. Strong ammonia smell
Awesome 2 stroke - proper brutal sound!
Do you have an opinion on the NEW Honda 400 Four due to be released for 2025?
I havent seen anything that looks real? Ive seen some clickbait stuff on youtube and speculation. The 'renders' ive seen dont seem like they would pass muster for a real bike. That said Im all four it (pun intended), Id figure the US wont get one, but then again we got a 400 4 from kawasaki recently
Great content and enjoy your presentation. So at the end of the video you mention “new fender”. Is that the rear fender? Also could you put in some links to where you ordered some parts pls Just yesterday I picked up a 77. Needs parts. Thanks
The rear fender that has been cut is getting replaced in the next video. Most of the parts I grabbed were from webike japan and cmsnl. If you order from webike just have a list going so you combine shipping costs. I will add some links to the description in the next hour
If you have any specific questions let me know btw
Jai eu 3x cb400four et jpeux vous dire que son cable de rpm fausse la lecture. Il n' atteint pas ce quil marque sur cette video
Interesting to know, i want to put a digital tachometer on now and see where it lands!
please ride that to ohio so i can ride south charleston😅😅😅
I tried that floating height…but doesnt work in mine Cb because i lose fuel from vent below…the tank become too much full of fuel…do you not lose fuel when you do a downhill?
Since replacing the float needles with Keyster replacements they have not leaked at all. Sometimes the brass pipes that are coming from the float bowls will crack and leak, I would check those. If they are cracked you can solder them and itll stick just like if you were putting wires together.
I dont guess they are cracked because with a big floating height they doesnt lose nothing , its all completly dry and bike start but if i use full throttle instantly the engine turn off like it doesn t have fuel but if i use thrlottle gradually it goes perfectly and go on high rpm…do you think that the second jet doesnt get fuel properly for instant throttle or i need to change max jets? I haven t the original air filter , it have the aftermarket filters and max jets are 75
@@loks2569 the fuel leaking would be a separate issue from the jetting, but something is definitely off for fuel/air ratio if it dies when you open the throttle. Try revving with the choke partly on. If it works better than the bike is probably lean off idle. I would think if you have pod filters you will definitely need to up your jets. My bike is pretty lean with stock jetting and it was made a bit worse with my new muffler.
I tried! With choke lightly on,it works but idle go up…i tried to cover the filters to simulate less air but the bike do other problems like go at 3 cilinders or rev up slowly…i dont know how to fix this problem…maybe I need to create an airbox or change 75 jets with 85s instead or change float height like yours but i will lose fuel at vents…i m really confused…can I ask you what does the secondary jets do? What do you suggest?thanks for help!❤
Great video!! My dad gave me his ‘77 CB400f that he bought brand new off the showing floor. I’ll be watching your videos as I’m going to get started getting it running. Dad passed one year ago to the day I came across your video, think dad wanted me to see it for the inspiration. It’s the parakeet yellow and has 79k on it, all put on by the family. I had to get a red tank as Dad had the original repainted and they didn’t prime it right and it rusted out, bummer. I look forward to the day I can hear that great little engine run again and take it for a ride.
I acquired this bike right after my father had passed and making these videos helped keep me busy. He used to tell me stories about his old Kawi H1 500, so naturally I bought one on fathers day this year! I will have another video hopefully this week for the bike doing some finishing touches. 79k Indicates a lot of love for that bike! I have been averaging about 200 miles a week on my 400, its a lovely bike and worth the work. The facebook groups are also great for help, lots of nice folks. Really appreciate your watching
When your skin sticks to the exhaust, you know its hot.
I’m starting to work on getting my Dad’s old CB400f ready, lots of memories with this bike. Dad bought it new in early ‘78 and it’s a ‘77 model. 79k miles on it and it’s been in the family since New. Will be following your channel and looking forward to hearing that sound from the old 400 as it is like heaven. Ride safe friend!!
"Perfect for corrupting new riders" ^_^
I have two friends looking to buy bikes after riding it around the field, doing its job so far!
@@GoldenBoyGarage hehe new riders to corrupt bro..🤣
YEAH BOIIIII
Bucket list bike for me, gonna have to tear it down, but had to kill all the mosquitos first 😂
Hell ya .!! Best sound ever .I bet it smells delicious too. That machine is a diamond 💎
Was literally harvested from a junkyard
@GoldenBoyGarage Wow .What a fantastic find ! Full marks to you on that one .
I restored a 75 cb400f with a built engine and 50 over pistons. Its a great bike i dont ever want to get rid of
It's been a favorite for me. I go for it every time over any other bike in the garage, unless it's a long trip and rain is a possibility, but for back roads in the forest 🤌
What oil you running?
I have no idea what is in the bike currently, I just picked it up a day ago, getting acquainted. First plan will probably be to drain and add some mineral kawi branded oil. I know that some of the newer fancy oils can slip on these old bikes. Long term the plan is to rebuild the engine
@@GoldenBoyGarage nice
50 cc 2t wasn't enough anymore eh??
I grew up with stories about these bikes from my dad and I've been hunting for a while! The Yamaha wants to kill me a lot less!
Nasty nice
I subscribed because of this bike. I love these small Honda fours, both the 400 and the earlier 350. To me the engine is the best sounding of all of the Japanese for cylinders. Anyway, it's one of my Grail bikes and I appreciate all of the content on it. Thanks!
I have long wanted a 350F and honestly had no idea the 400F existed prior to stumbling upon this one, very rare in the US. I saw one other at Barber Vintage Days. This is the latest of the series on the bike, have a few others getting to this point! Also working on another video with new muffler and other bits! Really appreciate your watching and subscribing!
I could actually smell the sweet smell of two stroke exhaust when I watched this ....cool bike
That could also be the coolant I spilled everywhere 😬 appreciate it! 78kg and does 60 mph with ease!
@@GoldenBoyGarage Perfect 👌
いいねえ😂
Great set of videos very clear and detailed i have just picked up a 400/four in a very similar state and your videos are just what i wanted to seethanks and keep up the 400/4 vids and as a matter of intrest what was the tub of blue stuff you were using in the last vid to clean and polish Graeme
Really really appreciate that folks watch, try to be a mix of helpful and entertaining. Decided to split stuff like carbs and valves as it's useful! The blue cream is called Blue Magic metal polish. It works great, but smells like cat pee as it's got ammonia in it just a heads up 👆
Would I still be able to use this setup if the tank is permanently attached to the frame of the moped? Or would that mess up electronics on the bike?
I would think it should be fine, but I would probably disconnect the battery (if it has one)
Brilliant! Lovely bike… The “flowing” four-in-one exhaust is mythical.
The so-called waterfall pipes are hard to ignore, im surprised Honda didn't use that style more often!
Topesta Eamakna
Great bike! Saw your comment on Ed's latest video. Your editing is really nice mate. Solid growth for such a new channel. Watching happily and will keep doing so.
I could only say Willy so many times with a straight face! I appreciate the encouragement. Im unsure how much of the success is me, and how much is the CB400F haha! I pulled up your channel and saw hustler minibikes so already excited!
46 printemps et toujours aussi belle ❤❤❤
That's one I would love to have. Anyone working on one of these old Japanese bikes, like he said in the video, you have to buy a JIS screw driver or bit that fits all the Phillips looking screw heads which the side engine covers normally have tons of. The alternative is to take a Phillips head and grind the tip down so it fits tighter. If you try loosening them with a regular Phillips, you will most likely strip the head. JIS screws have a little dot on one of the triangle points of the head.
Someone did point out that the toolkit has a JIS in it and i felt pretty dumb but I was also under some stressful circumstances, but the whole point is USE JIS for these bikes! Cheers and thank you for sharing wisdom and watching along, humbled every day
the color is awesome!
It's almost OWC colors 😎 🤙🤙🤙
5000 miles isn't too high by the way i have 9000 km on original rebuild and i have hear people getting 15000km before a top end 😀i got mine for 800 CAD with ceased forks and rusty gas tank and every single cable was also ceased too but they are selling for around 4000 for a fully certified one.
800 isnt too bad I suppose. I thought I got a bad deal but people have indicated that in good shape they go for way more than your average 50cc!
I just got one, which got rebuilt and used as a farm bike in hungary for 250eu
@@botix7646 that is a really good deal, at least here in america!
I had an ‘89 , black and yellow. Fun little bike , I did the mortard look. Shouldn’t have sold it. Don’t spend too much on it , with all that rust grit in the fuel, the motor will soon need a complete rebuild.
I'm certain that's not doing it any favors, and I'm sure I'm going to find loads more fun stuff as I go about changing fluids 😬, but that will be an excuse to do a tear down, maybe hop it up a little 🤔
They love a good rev….! Do you have any oil leaks or is it nice and dry?
The shift shaft seal leaks a bit, and the oil filter housing also. AGAIN in japan makes a CNC insert to help keep the shift shaft from wearing out, and when its time to change the oil I hope to remedy (oil filter housing has new oring so all i can do is groan there)
I have a red and white 1988 dt50. My dad bought it for me when i was 14.
You still have it?! thats awesome!
@@GoldenBoyGarage yeah, i almost sold it a few times. Glad i didnt. Im 45 now so at this point why get rid of it.
I had a 350f
350f is still on the list, I love the idea of small fours!
I loved mine ....I got for it $75 from a car shop in Shreveport Louisiana dude just wanted to get rid of it and several other bikes ....thing about it was the exhaust pipes where rotted off of it ...
@@danielray508 75 bucks is a great deal no matter the time period. Im surprised how many aftermarket parts / exhausts are around for these too!
@@GoldenBoyGarage Ah oui, les Japonaises, c'est bien différents 😉🤟
What a fantastic find . Thats a cool little farm bike for sure . Nice to see its in good hands now .
Powersports were limited growing up as we had a tendency to flip the go-kart over ... a lot haha. Kinda fun to ride around home. Appreciate your watching
Post a pic of this bike please. See how long it would last sitting outside during harsh Scottish winters/summers.plus enjoy when it eventually goes bang ,and it will.Ask me how I know 🤔
I have a couple long form videos on the bike, I can make a regular post with some photos here in a few
Had a 100
I might try this on someone else's bike 😂
"Never ridden hard, garage kept, etc" It really does prefer to be wound out though. Love this little 400 Four!
My boss thinks I’m working, but in all reality I’m watching golden boy videos 😍😍
CAUSE WE'RE CRANKIN' OUR HAWWWWGS
Looks like a ton of fun.
its a blast, i cant help myself with small 2 strokes
Mi muticultor honda .suena mejor que esa moto.
great stuff!
I recognize the name from FB haha, thank you for watching! Love this little bike
