Though in no was 'electrical', often this is caused by a plugged-up gas cap breather. You ride along until there's enough of a vacuum in the tank to stop fuel...
That guard is not necessary. I have taken mine off along time ago when I changed out sprockets. It was not supposed to come off. Just my guess. ... From:...

This is true but there is a fine line between a vintage bike and a piece of shit old Honda. I guess it's something that each of us has to determine on our own....
Sounds about right. The CM400A I just sold would get approximately 45 to 47 MPG. I believe that the reserve is 0.8 gallons. I remember seeing the technical...
Hey Ken, When I've had a problem w/ the fuel vent, I could never get as far as 50 miles. Seems like it should be something else??? Shalom, Greg Keiper "Too...

Shocks are adjustable. And I've seen aftermarket shocks that are lower, and removing fluid from the forks can knock down another inch or so. I'm selling my...

I took the banana seat off my 1980 cm400a and installed (with a few fabricated brackets) a cruiser seat off my husband's 2000 shadow. This lowered the seat...
I guess the only thing that kinda sucks is that all the aluminum parts on the bike are oxidized, and a lot of the chrome is either pitted or rusted. I just...

Do you have any pic's of this bike with the new seat? I just bought 2 cb400a's one for my wife, one to make a chopper out of. I will not have either one for a...
