I have two - both '78 CB400A, and get anywhere from about 40-45 mpg in winter when they rarely even get fully warmed up, to about 55-60 on the highway. I once...

Yes, real people use this site, and yes there is a lot of porn, and ads. All sites seem to be plagued with these. I guess the saying, "You can run but you...

I am sort of new to the sight and also was concerned about all the porn stuff being thrown at us. But yes there are a few who are apparently still discussing...
Hi, I purchased a 79 thats been sitting for some years. I put a battery in it and fueled it up but it wouldn't start. Removed the carbs to find them gunked up...
Hi, I'm looking for replacement cm400A engine (or parts bike, if close to DC). Motor must be in known-good condition (not "last owner said it was fine"). I...
Hello, My 78 runs pretty well but there is a slight moment when it hesitates at half throttle, then it takes off. I know that when you open your throttle you...
Hi To me, this lag at half throttle sounds like incorrectly ballenced carbs. Now, I have yet to find a way to ballence them without the special vacum guages, ...
Thanks guys for responding. The bike has more than a hesitation and a lag, it feels like it runs out of gas at around half throttle and if you let off it picks...
I have this thing fixed, I didn't have the air cleaner assy hooked up because the ducts were a pain, in case it didn't run right I didn't want to have to...
My 1978 CB400A will, from time to time, only fire on 1 cylinder when I start it after it has been sitting for several days. It starts OK, but it will not idle,...
Hello, everyone. I just picked up a 1981 Hondamatice CM 400A. It has only 7000 miles on it as it had been stored for 21 years. Everything has been gone thru,...
Hi Will, Welcome to the wonderful world of the Hondamatic motorcycles. These are pretty reliable bikes, with only a couple of built in flaws. I am sure you...
I always fill my 1980 CM400A with the highest octane at the pump. http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Hondamatic_400/photos/view/9e91?b=1 Is this what...
Great looking bike. I always use regular gas in my 1978 CB400A. Putting the highest octane gas in these bikes is probably like feeding chicken soup to a dead...
great analogy ... thanks! I'm trying to remember what made me adopt this practice but for the life of me, I can't remember. Musta been in a dream. ... From:...
Not me. I use the cheapest, which is invariably 87 octane ("regular"). This is what these machines were built for. There's no real advantage to using higher...
I hope the octane ratings are done differently in the U.S. to the U.K. as '"87" is something I have never heard of, in the U.K. we have 95, 97 and 99 RON. Of...
Thank you Ian. Today was the first day I rode it to work, ( 38 miles one way) and unfortunately, a piece of crud from the new/used gas tank worked its way into...
The link to your hairyfatmanboobs pix didn't work. darn ;-) On the topic of gasolines, has anyone had much experience (positive or negative) using Sea-foam in...
Hi Will, I am sorry to hear of your gas tank crud problem. Hopefully, it is solved now. I can't help you with the side cover, though I do have an extra pair of...
Hey Ian, Yes, I did get everything straightened out as far as the crud problem. And several others have suggested that I also look on Ebay for the right side...
Thanks Eric, I will. The longer I live, the more I realize that it matters not what I do for a living, but how I touch other peoples hearts as I live. (W.G.-...
