I got mine off with the liberal use of a hacksaw. Thankfully, the one I've purchased to replace it is warranted to separate at the header/collector joint. Even...
Hello all, I'm the proud owner of a new-old 450-t, and I'm looking for parts. Specifically, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend good modern replacements for...

Nice website Steven! I used teflon tape on my fork threads. The seals were what was always leaking. Put on new seals and then take a vigorous ride over bumpy ...
... Thanks Dan I always apreciate any feedback on my websites (and of course praise to feed my ego... Ha ha ha). So far I have been doing ok with the seals in...
Hey, if anybody needs valve cover gaskets, I picked some up on eBay for cheap. I figure I need to keep 2, but have 2 more which I'd let go for cost of...
BTW, does anybody have side covers on a parts bike? I'm looking for both, but could live with just a left one. Cosmetic condition can be between shabby and...
... Yeah, done business with sirius a couple of times. Good company. BTW, I really like the LED lights you put in the end of the side-bars. I'm missing a cap...

Anybody done head bearings on this bike? I had able bodied help today, sorting the bloody carbs (MAN, you wouldn't think sorting a nearly-stock bike would be...
... It's a big PITA. If you don't have a big dent in them that stops the steering I wouldn't do it. If they are just loose all you have to do is tighten them....
Ok. So with able help, the nightmare carbs on the CB450T have been _almost_ adjusted right. Idles better (which wasn't too bad before), very rideable at this...
... My guess is that the foam air filters are the problem. The stock filters are paper. It sounds to me like the bike might be too lean. Try oiling the...
... Nope, this is definately stock. Page 3-10 (42) of the service manual. Oiling it makes it _much_ worse. Hence my assumption that I'm rich. ... Yeah, I have...
So, listening to something which sounded like a valve tick (only at idle, quiets down at any RPM), but the valves are all adjusted precisely to tolerance...
... Direct quote from the manual: *CAM CHAIN TENSION * Start the engine and allow it to idle. Loosen the cam chain tensioner lock nut. When the cam tensioner...
Talking about the balancer chain tension, not the cam chain tension. The noise I have sounds like a valve tick, not cam chain noise (I have a friend with a...

OK EVERYONE CHECK THIS OUT.... im going to have to kill someone tomarow. well when i parked my bike i turned it off with the key as uasual. so when i went to...
Hello All, I've been concerned for awhile about some noise coming from my rear sprocket area. Upon close inspection, it appears to wobble as I spin the rear...
It's what's known as a "soft hub", and it reduces stresses on the engine/chain/sprocket during heavy accelleration and braking. The rear sprocket shouldn't...
Be careful with that rear sprocket circlip. A lot of people have had that ring where the circilp attaches break. Mine broke and I had to replace the rear ...
James speaks the truth -- my rear sprocket came off while I was cruising just > 100 km/hr (I think that's ~ 60 mph). All of a sudden had power loss but the...
