My 450 leaks oil around the plate that covers the oil filter. The gasket (O-ring) seems too small as it barely even fills the hole it goes in. Does anyone...
I had a leak after my first oil change also. Found that the O ring twisted just a bit and did not seal correctly. I drained to oil and had to replace the O...
When you buy the oil filter from Honda it comes with the gasket for the that cover. I always bought my oil filter from Honda and replaced that gasket when I...
Just my $0.02 (in Canadian dollars too!) but when you put on the bottom cover, make sure there are no little bits of dirt, rocks, sand etc. that get stuck...
Wow what wieght difference! The mac system took about 40 pounds off the bike. As for the sound with the baffle in I wasn't that impressed, it sounded really...
my 450 hawk will only start sometimes. I replaced the battery, plugs, and put new gas in. I used to get a click or hear the starter motor, but know when I...
You must check all the connections. Sounds like a loose connection to me. When my Nighthawk did that it was the rain, and it had gotten the switch itself...

I am really glad I found this group through Michele's site. I was wondering how many of you still have your 450 and do you use it as a commuter? How does it do...
+ I''ve had the same problem with starting. The conclusion in my case is corrosion in the starter button. I don't have a garage, so I must keep my bike...
Beeb, Thanks for your suggestions. I think you are right, probably just something corroded up in their. Also, the one of the plugs going into the starter was a...
... I guess this makes it unanimous. It was my starter button too. Get that nasty corrosion off! B.B. is right about push starting. I needed help to push start...
I have had mine from when it was new. Bought it from the Honda dealer when I worked for him. I got a great deal on it. I haven't drove it in a couple of...
You might want to check your starter cylinoid. I've seen those act up sometimes. I had a guys Goldwing I fixed and it was acting like that and I repalced the...
Definately a good starter bike from what I hear. I have only ridden a couple of times in my lawn, but seems pretty forgiving on the throttle. You should get...
Hi everyone! I have an 81 CB400T and have had it since last summer. It's been in storage all winter and I'm just wondering if there's anything I should do to...

I thought that I read in the cycle world 82 mag that this was intended as a sport bike, but not sure. Does anyone know if the Super Hawk or the other 1990s...
... Ron, My understanding of the 1982 CB450T is that it was a "Standard". A standard is basically your regular bike, not crouched down like a sportbike, not a...
I have had my bike about 2 years. I moved it from nothern Califronia to school in southern California. I sold my car this year (tution hikes made insurance...
... I think that was as close to a mid size sport bike that Honda had. I don't think they carried that design over to any new bikes. It's predecessor was the...

... Ron, With the cable hooked up to the front wheel but disconnected from the speedo, turn the front wheel. if the cable shaft turns your problem is the...
Hi Ron, Last summer when I took my front wheel off to change the fork seals, I didn't seat the speedo cable properly into the speedo in the hub of the front...
