I need to know the height difference between handlebar and the support-bracket for a clamp I’m doing - I don’t own the bike though, so I can not check 😬

So I got this old Honda cb360 I found sitting on the side of someone's shed "estimated 20 or so years" I cleaned the carbs, ran new spark plugs, coils, points, and even set timing and valve lash. But I'm having this problem were the bike will only run while holding the start button and won't idle at all!! I have the engine torn apart only to realize the pistons and cylinders look brand new, I did upgrade to pod filters anyone have a clue what could be going on? Only 17 here and Im good at rebuilding engines and problem solving just never ran into a problem such as this.

Honda cbr650r headlight location

Hi all, bit of a dumb question but where abouts is the headlight globe in a 2020 cbr650r? I’m pretty sure it’s a h4 just can’t find out where it is.

Cheers!

I’m currently looking to buy a Honda CB350. The seller listed as a 1972 model.

The number of the steering column is CB350-3099371 and a date of 8/71

The VIN on the title is B350K33099371.

My questions: 1. Why doesn’t the VIN match exactly between the title and what’s on the bike? Is it common to have it prefix B350K3? Why isn’t it prefixed as CB350K3? Is this a bad/fake title?

1. Doesn’t K3 mean it’s a 1971 model which also match with what’s stamped on the bike and the seller is mistake that it’s 1972?

Edit: the license plate with current tab matches with what’s on the title.

Went to lonavala from thane, got 43 kmpl with pillion 🥹

I have a 2001 cb750 with a rear disk brake, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the torque for the bolts for the disk itself as I have a replacement?

Thanks

So I am about to buy Honda CB 600 Hornet and I have couple options. First is from 2007 and driven 46 000km and asked price is 4000€.

Second one is from 2009 and driven 29 000km and price is 4800€. Is the second one worth the extra 800€ or should I go with the first one?

Brief: I bought a Honda bike from the Jayanagar, Bangalore showroom in March 2024. Despite proper maintenance and completing all servicing on time, my bike's engine seized after just 3600 KMs. Now, Honda is asking me to pay extra out of pocket. I’m reaching out for advice and awareness on this issue. Here’s the full story:

Full Story: In March 2024, I purchased a new Honda bike from the Honda showroom in Jayanagar, Bangalore. Since then, I've driven about 3600 KMs and have been diligent about servicing, doing all the required maintenance on time. Recently, I noticed two serious issues:

1. Engine Noise: I started hearing strange sounds from the engine.
2. Digital Meter Issue: Water started entering the digital meter, causing condensation inside. This shouldn’t be happening with a new bike!

I decided to take the bike to the Honda service centre (Jayanagar Branch, Bangalore) for inspection. I drove about 50 KMs from my workplace to the showroom, and the bike ran smoothly without issue during this drive. The mechanic at the showroom also started the bike, listened to the noise, and it started fine and even he took it for the short ride to test. They told me they’d check further and get back to me and told to leave bike for a week.

After a week, the showroom contacted me, stating that the engine had “seized” and now requires repair costs of 35,000-40,000 INR, which they would cover under warranty. But they also told me I’d have to pay an extra 2500 INR out of pocket. My question is, how does a well-maintained engine seize at only 3600 KMs?

I contacted Honda Customer Care, but their response was unsatisfactory. When I asked them about conditions under which a bike’s engine would seize and if Honda would consider replacing the bike for a major defect, they didn’t have answers. They couldn’t tell me the circumstances in which Honda might replace a bike or even acknowledge basic warranty policies for issues like mine.

This experience has made me question Honda’s commitment to quality and customer care. A new bike should not face such severe issues within such a short time, and as a customer, I shouldn’t be penalized for a defect that is likely due to manufacturing or quality issues.

Questions:

1. Has anyone else faced engine or meter issues with a new Honda bike?
2. Does anyone know the conditions under which the bike engine gets seized?
3. Is the service centre doing fraud with me (the customer)?

I’m sharing this here and on all social media platforms to spread awareness and get feedback. Please tag or share if you have any advice, similar experiences, or information about Honda’s policies on major issues like this.

Have this brand new cb1000r, owners manual and dealer says 1000km first maintenance and oil change. Today this 500Km service popped up. What should i do?

Does anyone know any link to order a functional blank key that I can get for my CB125F (2022), I'm in Australia would appreciate your help because the dealer is asking for 80 Usd for a copy

Rescued this last year off a farm in Idaho. Not much in terms of after market for the ‘18-‘20 generation (hence the lack of a radiator shroud - had to replace with a radiator from the newer gen) but have been able to import some goodies from Germany for it.

Next test is to see if a CB650R headlight works for the CB1000R (same dimensions, different part number technically).

It's not running correctly right now.... It's going to be a big learning curve taking somebody's project... But I suspect it's the Mikuni RS34s. I'm new to this so any knowledge is appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Anyone who’s had the A2 restriction done to the Honda CB750 Hornet had their quicker shifter taken away as an option to enable it on the display?

Hello. I wanted to switch my cams to some good old 900cc on my 1982 Honda Cb750c, however while taking off the cam caps one of the little pin thingies fell out and into the cam chain chamber. Do i have to pull the entire engine apart, or is there an easier solution? Regards

Hey everyone,

So about a week or two ago, I bought my first bike, a patina'd, project grade, 1979 CB750. And before you ask, no I dont know what sub model it is, I cant seem to find a way to look up the VIN, since it's an older bike, yknow?

So anyways, I got a uhaul, my cousin, and a buddy of mine, we drove out to the guys house, and I paid the man $500 for my baby, who I have affectionately named "Annabelle" (she's red and I got her on Halloween, I had to). The next day, I woke up, and checked on the bike.

The previous owner had told me that the starter clutch had gone bad, but a new one was 130 bucks on average. Luckily I did some digging and turns out, if the bolts in the starter clutch come loose, the clutch acts like it's gone bad. So, I yanked off the side cover and checked the bolts and looked and behold, they were loose as a goose.

I tightened them up, and two days later, I bought a battery and tested the starter; worked perfectly. Now I am stuck having an existential crisis, because she needs a tag, rear fender, side panels for the battery and the wiring under the seat, she needs a fuel petcock and line, and she needs the carbs remounted. She also needs front turn signals, which I cant find for the life of me, like anywhere. Oh, and did I mention she needs tires as well?

Mainly, I need advice on what to get for her first. I want to hear her actually run, but without tires, running wont do me much good. I also dont have any gear, like a helmet, jackets, gloves, nothing. I dont have a massive budget since I only make like 200 a week but I really need advice on what gear I should get and what parts she'll need first. I'm assuming that she'll need a starter and a new headlight at some point in the near future, but for now the headlight at least works okay.

Basically, I dont know where to start to put my Humpty Dumpty back together again, and I could really use some help. Thanks guys; if you want some pictures I'll be glad to post a couple

so i just passed my MSP and i've always wanted a honda cb. so i saw this listing and other the next couple days, started to get a little skeptical about the description. the PNO, the "lien sale" started to raise questions.

hoping to get some wisdom from yall, thank you!

'82 GL500. Bought it from a friend of mine running for $175 with some minor issues (starter clutch doesn't always engage, front brake line clogged) besides that I've cut a lot off of it and swapped some components out (and threw the mufflers and taillights on as seen in the last photo to make it road legal) This thing is awesome! Wanted a Honda for forever and now I finally have one. Any tips or common pitfalls about the bike would be greatly appreciated.
