Hi Crystal, My Derbi has a LeoVince ZX exhaust and a Malossi Delta clutch and a Malossi Kevlar Drive Belt. It goes really fast! The Honda CM400T is a 5 spd,...
I'm another Canadian living in Saskatoon, I had an email on the week end, a guy has a 78 CM400A for sale if anyone is interested. He claims it has electrical...
Hi, I'm new to this group but just got a 1982 450A about 8 days ago. It's in GREAT shape with only 5500 miles. Not a bad buy for $600. The reason for getting...
Hi Zac, Welcome to the group. I am sure you will enjoy your 450A. By the way, in view of your foot problem, I never use first gear. I just put it in second...
Zac: Welcome. It's good to hear from another So. Cal. Hondamatic rider. I've been commuting to work across W. Los Angeles for the past six months and loving...
Dan, I am not sure if keeping it in first gear, virtually all the time is bad, or not. It is true you will get faster acceleration from a dead stop in first...
Hah! I always suspected that the '400As were quicker "off the line" than the '750As - I agree with Ian though - there's no hard-&-fast rule about using either...
Hi Ian, I almost got a 750-A. How do you like it compared to your 400? Do you ride it more when you are going to be on the freeway? I was just worried that a...
Hi Zac, I thought I had a lot of vehicles, but you sure have more bikes than me. I have 3 bikes, but I do have some old cars. If you would like to see my...
I have never tried to see how fast my CB400A would go, but I think 70 MPH is probably top speed, or close to it. Perhaps some other group members can better...
My CM450A seems to go about 85 or so. I haven't gone wide open yet but I got fairly close. These bikes seem to be good for road trips of less than 150 miles...
welcome well i cant say its good on the tranny but really i have had my bike (78' cb400a) for 3 yrs now never had to do any thing to the bike except rutine...
Hi Zac, I don't know if anyone has put different sprockets on a 450A, but I know of people doing it on the 750A. I upgraded the 520 non O-ring chain that came...
a. "1" gear - use below 50MPH for better acceleration, steep hills, or for .stronger engine breaking. b. "2" gear - use for normal driving and for smoothest...
Well...turning the bikes handle bars to the right at low/slow speeds, causes the bike to go right. Then counter-steering right at normal street bike speed...
Oooooo - Ian's got some really nice stuff! My fave would probably be the '66 Tbird, but ALL are nice. I suspect if I had a bit more space (meaning land) (oh -...
Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me how fast a 400A should run top speed? As far as I can find ,they have a top speed anywhere from 70 to 86 MPH. Also how fast...
Since the first year (1978) sold the most 400 Hondamatics, I suspect sales had dropped off so much by the last year that Honda decided to bump it up 50cc to...
re. "I heard the 750A engine is downgraded from 67 HP to 47 HP. And the 400A was never downgraded." Well, kinda depends on what ya call 'downgraded' I guess. ...
I was wondering if anyone had a known good working neutral safety switch or otherwise known as a gear indicator switch. This is the one that screw into the...
Last fall I bought a '78 CB400TI for myself and someone figured I'd be interested in a 78 CM400A and emailed me. It sounds like it it was in reasonably good...
Hi Daryl, Any vehicle that has sat unused for 12 1/2 years is going to need some attention, but the automatic transmission on these bikes should be just fine....
First, re. "...it not running for that long will it be a problem with the transmission? " Nah - no problem at all. Just juice 'er up (new oil, battery & gas)...
