I lost power in one cylinder totally today, and the plug is very oily...its looking to me like the piston ring has gone. Does anyone have any idea wether Im...
The cylinder might just not be firing. The plug cap screws into the plug wire. Unscrew the cap and see if the screw is bright and clean. If it's all dark and...
Hi Dan, I tried that, and the cylinder's firing fine, or at least I am getting a nice juicy spark. There isnt a huge amount of smoke, and while it was the...
Maybe a head gasket leak? Check the compression and that will tell you how bad it is. Should be within 10% of each other. I should have thought about that...
Brand new here. Robert from CA. Hello, all. I have, as you should assume from me joining the group, an 82 Hawk. I love it, even now as I am trying to get two...
Hi Robert, I cant help you with the seized bolt, being of the brute force and bloody ignorance school of mechanicing. But.......I bought my Hawk with an...
I wouldn't know what to do without brute force and ignorance. American after all. Thanks for the exhaust numbers. I contacted a Micron Exhaust North America...
Are those the really long bolts that go all the way down? I have no great ideas, but I had a spark plug in my car badly seized once and the mechanic warmed up...
They used to be really long bolts, then they met a cutter. I thought heating and squirting would work too. Perhaps I haven't heated and squirted enough, but...
The guys who fixed my car said it took a good while of going back forth to finally get it to loosen up. I guess you could crank on the bolt and if it shears...
My 1982 450T is running a little rough. As a new rider and this being my first bike, it can be slightly unsettling to have the bike hesitating and then...
You are either sucking air at the intake boots between the carbs and the head (this is a common problem) or your carbs need to be adjusted. I would look for...
Thanks Homer for the response. I guess I'll start with sealing the boots for the rest of the riding season (till I get some cold weather gear). Silicone...
Your best bet is to go to a Honda Dealer. I just tried looking online on the websites that I use and I had no luck. homer ________________________________ ...

Thanks abbasgirl7777 and Homer for the sites! I'll make myself busy looking for parts. I'm on my way to use the silicone idea for starters. I'll be sure to...
while we're on here-- I'm having trouble figuring out how to fix my front brakes. I'm not a mechanic, but have figured pretty much everything on this bike ...
       Here's what you need to do.... But ur not going to like it.. The front brakes are gravity fed. So this means that there is no vaccumm to draw...
Rob, Please check the 'Files' section of this Yahoo Group ( http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/CB450T/files/). There is a service bulletin 1 and 2 notice...
Ah, thank you!! That helps tremendously. I'll do this over the weekend, and let you know how it went! Tami ... it.. The front brakes are gravity fed. So this...
oh, and I'm thinking the beer might make it worth it all. :0) Tami ... it.. The front brakes are gravity fed. So this means that there is no vaccumm to draw...
