My guess is a problem with the carbs. If it has spark and back fires it's not getting enough gas. My experience with hondamatics not running right is...
Here's whats happening. When I hit the front brake, it stops but the piston wont go back in. I can take out the pads, use a c-clamp and force it back down...
I'm in PHoenix. I've seen a couple of ebay but the sellers have no idea if they need rebuilding or not. I would like to find one in workine order. Are they...
Does anyone know where I could buy online, brand new front brake hose for my 1978 CB400A? I know Sirius in Canada has them but I don't like buying from them,...
since my bike is having major problems starting and running, after the times that it does start, I pulled the plugs and while they are now getting spark, after...

I found a beautiful set of original saddlebags for my 80 matic. Only problem is I can't mount them without the right rack. The rack has a set of four holes on...
is it possible that the flywheel on a stator could go bad i.e., lose its magnetism? The outside of the flywheel doesn't seem to have any magnetism, although I...
let me look at my saddle bags at home and see if mine would work. I have a set of hard bags that the PO took off and I don't like them. I will see if they...
So I finally got around to doing my fork seals. I went by the guide on here and used my haynes book. It was all very easy, except the part of slide hammering...
The seals are press-fit, and the PVC is simply going to lack the mass to easily seat them. The "real" tool has some heft to it, and still requires a firm...

"except that center stand is really nice when working on the bike" exactly, the manual says not to change fluids with it on the side stand. Why did you want...
All, I started riding motorcycles on a Honda CT90 in town and really got the bug. The CT90 is actually a great bike to start on. I actually joined the CT90...
IMHO Loud pipes are just annoying. Non-riders already have enough reasons not to like motorcycles without blasting their ears in the process. I am not...
Ron: How exactly did u take the center stand off? Robert: Im making my cm400 into a bobber and a center stand just doesn't seem "bobber" to me. Id also like to...
MAC makes a 2-1 replacement kit for the cm400 for about $200 plus shipping. I have a MAC muffler from that system for sale...its just one though. Otherwise,...
I have a Mac 2-1 system on my 1980 CM400A. Unfortunately you have to be careful when installing the headers. I over torqued mine and the pieces they provide to...
There is a knocking noise coming from my 1978 CB400A CYLINDER HEAD. I removed the cover aND adjusted the valves and saw that the cam chain was rubbing the...
Ah - so there are at least TWO of us in Virginia who have Honda '400s -and- at least one CT90 (me? three.) Alone no more! My '90s are a K0, a K2 and a 1979;...

This is too strange. I just came from the CT90 group. I bought a left lever with the headlight HI/LO and turn signal switch for a 1980 CM400A thinking I could...
I have 2 1978 Hondas. One is a Hondamatic Hawk 400 and the other a regular Honda Hawk 400. I am trying to make one good bike. Both still run great. The...
yes, the power difference is normal. Honda detuned the hondamatic by something like 10 horsepower so the manual 400s have more power. One single spark can...
Just got this bike, looking into bobbing it up. Wondering if I can lose the stock crossover collector on the exhaust and put some different mufflers on the...
It has been awhile since I took it off so i cannot remember exactly how to do it but I do remember that it only took about 5-10 minutes, no difficult at all. I...
... the times that it does start, I pulled the plugs and while they are now getting spark, after changing the cdi, stator and coil, I think my gas may have...
